🥒 ABOUT BEFRS:
Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but 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.

    You deserve your own show! You cover so many different culinary styles and cultures! I've learned so much from watching your adventures.

    PLEASE try pug pug in Manila next time you’re there! Drew Binsky made an amazing & informative video on it, but he wasn’t bold enough to try the pug pug 😂 While watching I couldn’t help but think, compared to the stuff Sonny eats, this would be a walk in the park for him! Lol!

    Vegans are gonna go ballistic over the live crabs but like, if you're farming soybeans with tractors, you will kill the same number of wild animals, more or less, and their deaths are wasted because they are not eaten. Whether it is plants or animals, we have to eat other life to survive, and getting up close and personal with it is more honest.

  7. Anna L

    I do wonder about how the economics of this village work. There are many things like spices and the rice flour and the beer (though maybe Sonny brought the beer as a gift, if I were showing up to a village to film I'd do that) that have to be bought, which implies the production of trade goods. Obviously Sonny is focused on the food, but I wonder what the village is bringing to markets. And, relatedly, what jobs you do if you are old or sick or have a bad leg and can't go digging for crabs or getting ant eggs or whatever. Maybe it is making those baskets or mending nets? Someone has to mend the nets.

    This co host sucks. He's so pretentious. Theres plenty of American families that rely on hunting to pay the bills and get by. He needs to realize not everyone lives in some garbage "progressive" city bubble. Best part about this is him realizing he has nothing in common with real Laotians

    20:58 is it tough ??

    I know he said chip , but i swear i heard what i heard 😅😅

    Ant eggs are one of my favorites. When I was in the Philippines, my grandma would sauté them in garlic, onion, and tomatoes. The live shrimp dish is called jumping salad in the Philippines.

  14. Mako

    To be fair, eating an animal does not constitute as "harming" them as far as the law is concerned.

    It's meant to cover abuse, not cooking and eating.

  15. Goats Milk

    Honestly, what ARE ant eggs? They are bigger than ant. How do they lay eggs bigger than themselves?

  16. Juliana

    Sonny has eaten everything, so he is like "Can I leave the claws?" not enough adrenaline rush, Sonny?

  21. Lurch11 D

    Bought a hoodie and quality is better than i expected. I shrunk it a bit on accident so might have to order another, but that was my bad😂

  25. Chai Charin

    That was knarly with the crunch of those live crabs….Bro dude you ate that green hair from the river raw….so gross…. You had have gotten sick from eating live crab and shrimp from that dirty river…. yuck for you but entertaining for us I guess

  27. MyTake

    You don’t need our money when rocket mortgage is sponsoring videos . Knock it off.

  28. Always Anee
