🥒 ABOUT BEFRS:
Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but currently call Vietnam home. I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer.

If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.

[kreeves]

Omg the translator is awesome!! She’s so funny!! To be witty with a non-native language shows so much intelligence and personality.

[truthseeker]

I love the way these guys do their show. Very open minded and they never judge the communities they interact with.

[Firespark]

I love these episodes where you visit small villages and cultures most of us here in the states are not familiar with. They are so interesting to learn about how other people live. Top tier content.

[Samson-crly]

I died laughing when Andrew's words came back to haunt him. Big props to him for actually going through with eating the live fish, and Sonny too! I love this channel.

[baijida]

Sonny will literally try anything. He shows all cultures due respect. He is the most adventurous food reviewer. I love that about him.

[brunaferrazleite]

This gave me such a reality check. These people are so resourceful and also so healthy. This is nothing like the food we get in the western world.
Aside for the live fish, I’m all for eating this way. Everything is local and fresh.

[DJPoom]

Truly the best ever food review show in the world👏🏻

[biancafields]

I’m so jealous that you get to meet such precious people everywhere and see and experience so many awesome cultures!

[TheMizfitMan]

I think those buffalo skins were that woman's most extravagant dish. She was doing her best to impress.

[Hallofnugs]

Dudes probably telling his homies in the village like “YO I GOT THESE TWO WHITE DUDES TO EAT LIVE FISH” 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

[hoaibaonguyen]

I'm a Vietnamese but I wouldn't dare to try that raw fish with salad. Hats off to you guys and how much respect you showed. Another great video.

[sunduncan]

This is Black Tai (Tai Dam), not to be confused with Thai (Siamese) in Thailand though our languages are closely related as parts of Southwestern Tai languages of Kra-Dai (Tai-Kadai) family, also including Lao, Shan, Dai Lü, etc. The autonyms "Thai, Tai, Dai" are from the same root. According to various Thai/Lao folk legends, in correspondance to linguistic evidences, Southwestern Tai peoples have their homeland in northern Vietnam, especially Dien Bien province (Muong Then), after splitting from Northern Tai peoples (Zhuang in Guangxi for example), then spread southwestward over Southeast Asia (Laos, Thailand, Yunnan of China, Shan state of Myanmar) and eastern India (Assam)

[Yeeer]

i love how disappointed the guy looked when u dropped the fish and all he said was "wow"

[DurianKing]

“Oh, she only speak.. THREE languages.”. Love the introspective humor.

[sebastiansanfunas]

I found precious the expression of the older lady after they ate the raw fish, she seemed happy that they were so interested in their culture, it was a great video!

[zimmbdo]

Love that fact that they are always respectful to the people n their cultures when they visit different rural parts of the world.

[CLAYMOR]

I love the fact that they’re taking the time to embrace the culture and language of our Hmong people. Not a lot do we get recognize for our unfamiliar traditional food and culture. I am very proud to be Hmong American. And I can still say I speak my language. 100!!!

[ruterodrigues]

The woman was just sitting there thinking like "oh yeah, another day men killing fish with their mouths.... and they're not drunk okay"

[crozraven]

Japanese: eat raw fish meat
Thai villagers: hold my bamboo sticky rice.
