🥒 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.

  • As a South African youth from Alexandra, I'm proud of Zanele and Andrew for reaching for their dreams plus representing Kasi (Township) food culture well 💚 When you're born in a township, the struggles around you seem normal. It's only when you go outside of your township you realise there's actually a problem. It then hits you that there's more to life and you have the potential to do better. A number of people are in fact defeated in townships especially where I come from, Alexandra. Not because people don't want better but because of the environment itself. It takes a lot of mental, emotional, physical and financial fight to push through these barriers left by the Apartheid regime plus created by ourselves unconsciously. There's so much potential and untapped talent in Townships. Side note: I'm actually going to try the Mogodu recipe as instructed 🍲

  • As a South African who has watched this show for some years, I’m glad the team conducted thorough research. We are a very diverse nation with a history of division. Unfortunately, that division has prevented us from exploring different places and cultures within our own country. I think this series may be for South Africans to also get a glimpse of what’s out there (in here). I’m already excited to go to Alex😂

  • i was apprehensive about watching the series on South Africa being a citizen myself because i felt it'll be portrayed in a light that i didn't like. I've mastered the courage to watch and I am happy i did, its awesome to see that despite the challenges some people are making things happen, communities that most of us have written off have people who live in them and are trying to better themselves.

  • How Sonny is able to break barriers and to pronounce names is underrated. The man is a genius at what he does as he goes beyond just reviewing food but understanding the tradition and culture of the people he's talking to. On this episode he went where I'm sure 99% of South African "celebrities" or even politicians have never set their foot on and he's probably the only white person who has been there.

    • I'm South African and was not aware of calabash chalk until I saw this video. I think it is more common in the Joburg townships, because there are lots of immigrants from other parts of Africa. I know a Ghanaian, another Ghanaian family, a Nigerian, two Ugandans and many Zimbabweans. Before I moved to Joburg, I didn't know any foreigners, as I lived in a small city that wasn't that attractive to foreigners.
