🥒 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.

@BestEverFoodReviewShow What is your favourite 'wild meat'?
Andrew is a great cohost. I love Calvin too.
I'd like to open a restaurant here in Canada that serves solely emu meat. Alas, capitol is needed. Maybe I could get in on that emu oil action.
This series is a anti Aussie series or what, Should go to the real top end or Papua New Guinea if he wants a authentic look at the natives culture 😂
@@JimmyFathead wat you trying to say? The food in Northern Territory is no different than to food in east coast of Australia unless you talking about Australian outdoor bush tucker, damper and meat pies. I think they have covered Aboriginal meat pies earlier in the series.
I’m Australian, I remember being a kid in third grade… we had an aboriginal food day, the ladies cooked a big kangaroo stew for us all, it was fire. They had emu and crocodile for us to eat too!
Sounds delicious ♥️
Yummy 🤤😋🤤😋.
There's no way that wasn't absolutely delicious. Crocodile's just fishy Chicken though. Kangaroo, I haven't had, but I imagine it tasting like Rabbit, mixed with Beef.
@@gloriawinbush1590 bzy
Nice. All we got at my school was damper year after year 😢
I lost it when Sonny just started patting and hugging an emu while interviewing them 😂 Also love how he had a random spoon in his shirt lmao. As expected of a food expert!
And also eats anything 😂
The EMU was standing there like, “I told Freddy and George I was gonna get on camera.” 😂
Series complete! My Aussie native food rankings: 1. Emu 🍗 2. Wallaby 🦘 3. Kangaroo 🦘 (Turtle disqualified 'cause it makes too many people sad)
I’m Australian and have never eaten any of these I’m glad Sony is giving it a go 😊
Glad you pissed the turtle video off.
@Andrew_Frasier. Glad you loved the emu!
why didn't you give him a belt up the earhole when he kept saying emoo
Next time try file snake in Arnhem land best snake I've ever eaten
Honestly, the world is incomplete without traveller's and youtubers like sonny, I just love this guy who appreciates and celebrates every food he eats and every place he visits with joyfulness and love 🖤 the way mark describes food just so articulated and on point 👏🏻 Keep up with these videos mark 💖 Absolute one of the legendary youtuber.
Those birds are hilarious, the outtakes at the end were so great. It's crazy how chill they are. As always, great video man, seriously love your channel
@user-tq3pm3gz2j can i has a gift too??
@@docptl it's a scam!
I love how the emus around them are so tamed it's hilarious Sonny grabs one by the neck 😂
Emu, unlike ostriches are really docile, & easy going birds! (You only have to worry ABOUT cassowary and ostrich, those are really AGGRESSIVE animals! )
because the emus beat them
The reason they sell the most to the US is because Americans consume Emu under the name "Turkey Leg" at theme parks, Renaissance faires and similar destinations. If you've ever had a giant Turkey Leg at a theme park, you have eaten emu! (I also used to work at a theme park in Florida and have seen a box in the freezer myself)
Lol Sonny getting bit by the Emu, then giving it a cuddle 😂😂😂
They are crazy birds haha
The bird not moving or agressive when get choked, that's make funnier moment😂
Very friendly folks on the farm. Nice to meet them. Thanks Sonny.
Babe wake up, new Best Ever Food Reviews
You read my mind 😅
Sonny catching the neck😂😂of the emu is funny 🤣 as hell
As a Kiwi who's actually never visited Australia, I found this series really enlightening and just super fun! I learned so much from these documentaries and one day I will skip over the ditch and have me an emu pie! Cheers
Can you imagine if we still had Moa and they were farmed in the same way? 😳 That’d be an amazing export
@@chriskeentechnician Man, I'd be boosting around on em Chocobo's!!
You're 1 of the few! (There's MORE Kiwis here than NZ!)
Finally someone showing a detailed video of emu meat! Been waiting for years for someone to do this. Please try the south American Rhea next
Very friendly folks on the farm. Nice to meet them. Thanks Sonny.. Southern fried gizzards are the gift that keep on giving .
I’m Australian and I eat kangaroo and wallaby meat occasionally. I never had emu meat, although I’ve a bottle of emu oil! Thanks for visiting our country sharing these amazing foods.
I'm curious where the oil comes from 🤔
is there any evidence that the aboriginals had fire before being discovered?
@@arishcoffee6414fat
@@bogdan1213 Fire is pretty much the first thing that any human civilisation discovers. Australian aboriginals had tools, weapons, medicine, nomadic housing, art and many other things far beyond fire. There's probably a good chance that aboriginal society discovered fire before people with light skin even existed.
yeah it''s a bit strange, up here in regional Queensland, it seems you see Emu and other alternative meats less on the menu at resturants that even places I've visited on Holiday like California or Spain. I love visiting rellos down south because the food is just better if you are easily bored.
Hands down one of the greatest shows on earth. ❤
Sonny, and befrs team. You are the highlight of my Week-ends since 2016 when i first discovered you. Much love you are the best ❤
Lots of US citizens don't know about Emu oil, but I do. I have been taking EMU oil for about 2 years now. I think it's a new and upcoming product in the US.
Thanks Sonny for your video content! Even I as an Aussie didn’t know much about food sources etc. There’s probably plenty more to see in Australia like Bega cheese, locally farmed truffles but next time can do that! Though some of the foods are super extreme on your channel… Come to my next country New Zealand! Lamb, bluff oysters, whitebait, hangi and more!
Cows and truffles are not endogenous to Australia. Sonny’s focus on this trip has been on indigenous culture and food
Amazing work, Sonny! I really love the way you explore dietary variations across countries, and how major food producers play a role in the supply chain, plus what they think about their relative industry. The way you respect, but curiously inspect cultural differences is what makes your show stand out. The way you joke around makes the content much more palatable and enjoyable to consume! PS: The farmer and his wife seem to be such genuinely happy, humble and energetic people! There aren’t much people like that out there :) Again, BEFRS is the best 👍
@@user-tq3pm3gz2j Huh? Scammers everywhere :p
This series was great, so good to see all the food and offerings outside the typical city restaurants
This is perhaps the greatest channel on KZhead. I never miss an episode. Thank you, and keep going.
Awesome video and thanks for sharing your experience with us ❤
soy un Hondureño que vive en US y puedo decir que se de muchas cosas que se pueden comer, pero gracias a este canal se mucho mas ahora. Me encanta no me he perdido ni un tan solo video, desde que los sigo he aprendido que hay muchas cosas diferentes que probar y tambien que nuestra alimentación se puede sortener de diferentes especies de animales, tambien me muestra la cara bonita de la vida en otros lugares y tambien la dificil por no decir otra cosa, pero bueno amo este show y lo recomiendo al 100% todos pueden ver esto. ❤
Well done guys, another brilliant series. Congrats to all involved. Sonny should be on TV!
Who watches TV anymore?. I literally haven't turned it on in six months. Minimally, 10 million people watch each of his videos. TV shows don't garner that audience. He's making a mint off KZhead revenue. "TV" would be a huge step backward.
@@JoeBlow_4 I actually even forgot the shape of TV🥴😆
Getting on TV is not the mark of success anymore. I believe KZhead gives Sonny much more freedom than TV would.
He is definitely on TVs! KZhead can be watched on SmartTVs or through plug in devices. I totally agree with your sentiment though OP!
The emu neck looks like it would be good in a Jamaican oxtail style dish. 😊
Jeff and Jane seem like absolutely awesome people. Love the content dude, keep it up 👍
They seem like a really really nice couple. Down to earth
That looks delicious, great to see a farmer so proud
@@user-tq3pm3gz2j scammer
I’ve got some ground Emu in the freezer right now. Would love to be able to get neck and steak cuts locally as well, but it’s still a specialty meat here in Iowa.
I love this show and this Australia series I make sure I tune in every Sunday it drops
This Jeff Guy was really humble and nice 👍
Ahhhh Sundays thanks Sunny i know what to watch now!!!!
My weekend end with Sunny's adventure 😅😅
First time watching this channel. I can only describe the overall vibe as Antony Bourdain mixed with Ken/Kronk Energy and i am 110% here for it; subscribed.
Great video! You guys should do a long bloopers compilation. The bloopers at the end are my favorite😂
@@user-tq3pm3gz2j And I got one for you 💩
nailed that emu with the side by side at 8:21
i saw that too lol thats the one they had for dinner hahaha
Now you have made me want to try another big bird lol 😂 I am Gary. I live in England and absolutely love what you do around the world 🌎
I love the historical and educational part of your videos!
Finally soni uploaded !! Been checking updates abt the video everyday in both channels !!
This is my favourite channel on KZhead but this was a tough watch.. hearing Sonny say E-Moo was so frustrating 😂 ITS EM-YOU! Love you x
Awww last na. Excited for the next series tho. Thanks BEFS!
8:20 did anyone else see the Emu get hit by the buggy? 🤣
Great video.I would love to try that neck soup as I’m a big fan of Ox-Tail and it looked delicious
Living in the south, (southern US) there are a few little rural or small town gas stations where you can stop and get some fried chicken gizzards. There are a couple I try never to drive past without stopping. In some parts, you can also get fried chicken gizzards at KFC, but nowhere near me, and they're not as good as some little run down, no name, gas station built out of cinder blocks...
It's been a year, I've been watching your videos. Brother you're so dedicated to your work at the same time you're exploring so many places which we didn't thought that exists on this universe. Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience with us. Keep on going brother sonny🙏😇
@@user-tq3pm3gz2j scammer
You can tell they were so happy to have you visit! Another killer video
@@user-tq3pm3gz2jscam
@@user-tq3pm3gz2j scammer
We have a few meat markets in Miami that regularly sell Emu. Also here in Pensacola we have a butcher that has it most of the time. I’ve eaten Emu at least 30 times since I was about 12. I’m 46 now and haven’t eaten it in over a decade. This show really made me want some 😂
where at lmk
@@finneserrr Pensacola has The Butcher Shoppe. Miami has a few markets but I can’t recall the names. I haven’t lived there since 2006 so I can’t help much there. But I do recall one of them was on the intersection of 8th and 57th. Next to a place called Saruchi that sold sandwiches. *edit: I just remembered that a place called Wild Fork on US1 across from UM near moon thai restaurant has Emu. I was visiting my mom in Miami over the July 4th weekend and we went there to get some picanha. I saw the Emu along with gator, elk, bison, fois gras, etc.
@@havoc1zero oh yea thank you so much
Southern fried gizzards are the gift that keep on giving 🐓🤤
10:02 That one EMU who stood there beside sonny as if it is also a host😂.... So serious face it has which makes it even more funnier and they all are talking about the OIL FROM AN EMU...😂
Emu leg BBQ'ed sounds really awesome. Emu Noodle Soup, Aussie Fried Emu, Emu Omelets... carry on sir
The Best Food Review Show Idol Sonny 👍👏
So aussies are just super cool ppl….? Cause that’s pretty much what I’m getting from these videos. They have awesome food and the people are cool as ice. I always thought they were a bunch of nerds cause I just assumed they were all like Andrew. 😂😂😂 No, seriously…..they all seem like the type of folks you want to be friends with. I loved the hunter guy from the last video and Jeff from this video seems chill af. I will absolutely have to visit Oz. Thanks as always for sharing the video, Sonny. ✌🏻😊
Come on down. I’ve traveled a lot, no where beats here for the chill factor.
Sonny and Andrew are a whole mood! Funny AF!!!!
Every Aussie Annunciates. There is a singing cadence to their dialect (says a Texan) . Great job All. ❤ Love this channel and its varied production and content
yeah the irish left a mark on the country
Emu's were definitely working hard to get the last laugh attacking Sonny before going to the chopping block. I'm amazed how dark their meat is. They better not get armed otherwise their will be another emu war 🤣🤣🤣
LOL, I see what you did there. or maybe not. There was an Emu war and then there is Koala Man...
I love how he just stands while grabbing an emu's neck
Yeah cracked me up 😂
Holy moly! This just keeps getting better 😍
Totally the BEST EVER FOOD REVIEW SHOW!!
From the Philippines, Thank you Sonny
I’d love to see emu sold in the supermarket as kangaroo is. I’d definitely be buying some. I had an emu pie years ago and it was delicious.
Roo can only be hunted for, so is cheaper & more profitable than farming emus or other beasts.
your schedule might be brutal, but.... your lunch break is literally part of the job, and you are literally doing a vacation, experiencing different cultures, tourist attractions, and foreign cuisines. if I was a people's person, I'd acually love to have a job like this.
eating while watching this show .is the best thing ever ☺☺
I live in PEI, Canada, and a few years back, I had the opportunity to purchase some Emu meat. It was good but a bit dry as it was sliced very thin. I love trying different meats and fish products
Australia is vast, so much things to cover. Would want to visit one day.
THIS IS NOT ONLY A FOOD SHOW BUT A CULTURAL KIND OF A UNIQUE SHOW THAT WE GET A CHANCE TO SEE AND LEARN OTHER PEOPLE'S CULTURES,RELIGIONS ETC . WOOOOOW I ALWAYS LOOKS UP TO ANOTHER VIDEO !!!! All the way from DRCongo(katanga)
Love this Aussie trip awesome
It's been ages since I've had chicken gizzards but I used to love them as a kid. Would love to try one from an emu if I can ever get my hands on one.
@@user-tq3pm3gz2j scammer
They,need to bring this to USA! I, would love to taste it😋🤤.
Another very educative video; I don't eat land meat but like your videos because of the education behind them. Thank you.
So you only eat SKY meat?
brah i love that you're showing my culture, so good! Never expected to see this on here, all i do is wait for your videos!
Is 'brah' your culture too?
This is so interesting I'm from Alberta Canada and I worked in a beef meat packing plant for over 20 years seeing these cuts makes me want to try this.
Apparently there was a Ostrich farm around Taber. You can order online I think. Heard it's great meat. I'm in Edmonton.
@@Nathan1Johnson nice I'm in Lethbirdge.
BETTER than working in a fudge packing factory eh?
Give this guy a Netflix special
This show is so authentic
I've had emu a few times and I've always likened it to venison more than beef. Love it.
Great show as always, Andrew is always a great co-host.
i'm kinda surprised that people doesnt seem to eat chicken gizzard much. in my country it's one of the most commonly-eaten chicken part; usually fried or stir-fried, and it still goes well in any other chicken dishes.
As a I kid, my gran used to make me soup from them. Also my last dog used to love them & I fed her on them often cos it was CHEAP protein! Giblet curry is a nice 1 too!
I'm just loving watching it while having tender Fish Tikka and Chicken... Ohhh Man !!!
i Love how he just help the Emaus Neck andjust pet it is face was like tour my Chile i love that moment
i want to buy that and raised it here in the philippines
Buffalo style wings would be a novelty and a treat!
not really i can buy at local supermarket and do buy them myself
@@skidkidgaming You buy Emu buffalo wings at the supermarket?! Where are you shopping?!
@@chrisroberts6121 no i buy normal chicken buffalo wings isnt that what you ment ?
@@skidkidgaming On an episode about Emus, i recommended he turn one into a buffalo wing. So no, of course it isn't what I meant ya daft numpty.
Just stumbled across your channel. Love your content. I would love to be able to travel the world and do what you do. Have always loved trying street food when I've been able to travel. New subscriber here. I love that you are non judgemental about why different cultures eat what they eat. Not everyone can be lucky enough to choose. Vegan, vegetarian is easy when you can afford to choose that.
Ey that was big bird you've got there 😁
Definitely want to try emu neck soup.
Emu have such a vast array of useful resources. I used to work at a copper wire plant. The very fine copper dust and sludge that the machines produce would cause you to get copper rash. Emu oil is what was given to you by the onsite doctors to draw out the copper and help with itching.
Really? Never heard of this before. That's extremely interesting though. Thanks for the comment
Man, I haven't watched BFR in a minute, and I come back and Sonny's looking svelte af. Keep up the hard work man, you're looking great!
why did no one pull him up on his emu pronunciation 😂
At 0:42 Andrew tells him how to pronounce it, but for some reason, he decides to continue pronouncing it incorrectly, which made this video very annoying to watch... 😅
When Sunny had the bird by the neck and carried on talking, like it was the most normal thing ever.
Wow that’s amazing sharing
We are very lucky to have you sony, because I can see the world without move from my bed 😂
*_Emu - the only animal in history that defeated the humans in official war!!_* 🤭😅😂🤣
Those emus protein looks so rich, moist & delicious. I would definitely be interested in eating those emus. With the way America's leaders are giving ones money to stop providing food to our country, those interested could do well supporting the emu farmers. I know I would. Great video 👍 Sonny. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The emu bitting Sonny I can't! Another amazing video bringing joy to our Sunday. The neck stew looks great and gizzards are very popular back at my hometown. But it's chinek gizzard haha
I love watching this channel but I can only watch it when I'm eating. Which is not very often 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
OMG the mispronunciation is killing me - please make it stop!🤣
Everyone else is pronouncing it properly, yet it still doesn't sink in!
You finally posted again thanks!
That "Sup, whatta you looking at" then emu beaking camera at 8:41 had me laughing. Hahahaha. That dude took it seriously like " why are you invading my privacy". Hahahahahha.
awesome ep as usual
I'm from this little town in Rhode Island and we have this dish that's regional only to us, it's called spezzi. It's a tomato sauce and hot pepper soup that is made with stewed chicken gizzards. I would love to try an emu gizzard in this dish.
