🥒 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.

YES, this is a repost. KZhead removed the original video after it had already amassed 2 million views. The reasons are complicated, boring and dumb, but I’ll explain. We used some footage from a channel that labeled it as “Creative Commons” meaning anyone can use it in their edit. Then we got a copyright strike on the channel for using that footage. It turns out, the footage we used wasn’t Creative Commons. Some KZhead channel had just reloaded this footage and labeled it as such. Sadly, this means youtube’s Creative Commons labeling system is useless, because anyone can just load someone else’s footage and label it as such. So, in order not to waste our extraordinary effort in making this video, we’ve reedited it, having taken out those handful of clips we’d used. That said, the strike still remains on our channel. Fun, right? The channel whose footage we inadvertantly used refused to make any type of licensing deal with us. Oh well. That’s their right. Brand New Videos Coming Saturday!!!! Thank you for your patience.
Classic KZhead.
We need a Sonny Chia-Head in the store. I'm serious. Awesome production job BEFRS team!! 😎👍
Why post it as "Creative Commons"
I'll watch e.v.e.r.y video you upload
Hello 👋
The best part about this channel is not even the bizarre food you eat it's the different cultures you see
thats what interest me the foods just bonus!
yeah bro you are right....thats the best thing i like abt this channel..no negetivity...
Inspired by the late and great Anthony Bourdain and his parts unknown series. RIP 👑
@@rohitmaharjan3915 there's a lot of negativity but it's veiled in sarcasm
And totally offend, not hard to see why most of the world hates Americans like this d********.
I love how he will try everything and even when the taste grosses him out, will not gross out in front of the maker. That’s classy and respectful of the particular culture. That’s hy people love him and his podcasts. Thanks Dude!!!
respect culture that destroys dolphins and whales. I tell you.
"Someone gave Me Life, but My Parents gave Me the Opportunity to Live it" absolutely beautiful... 😋🥰
God gave Life
Learned more in an hour about these islands than a whole history course. Great episode!
Sonny and his team managed to perfectly fuse culture and food, then present it in with a simple story line in an entertaining way.
I love these people. There humour is beyond dry and subtle.
Scandinavians(Broad definition but true) will seem funny to a standard western person even if they aren't trying to be.
I love the vibe of the faroe people, the whole episode everyone was super friendly and chill, really makes me wanna go the faroes and have beer with these guys. Top Tier content.
Scandinavian culture
i love the fact you not only tackled the food but the culture and the problems they face from people looking outside in and causing hell for something they dont understand, loved this episode alot!
Hey, eating endangered animals is just part of their culture.
@@AL-lh2ht Are you sure its endangered though?
@@AL-lh2ht they are not endangered you moron,,,,,they have higher numbers now then 100 years ago
@A L it's not endangered like at all. Get your facts right, and don't lead a life lead by petty biased 1st world feelings
@@AL-lh2ht ahh yes critacize somthing you know nothing about
I now REALLY want to visit The Faroe Islands - not just for the seafood - but the people all seem so lovely with a great sense of humor!!!
Me to
@@valenciawallace924 Will see you there!!
Have u visited it?
@@thisismychannelahha Alas no sadly
That last dude passed the vibe check lol
I love how sonny just fits into everywhere and adjust around everyone
If he can adjust to asian culture, he can go all over the world without a problem.
@@flipit27Asian culture is easy. Just be respectful and be able to follow directions. One of the cannibalistic tribes in Africa would be actual hard mode.
Here before they change the "i" in bizarre to lower case. That's BIzarre
Lol would ya look at that
Haha +1, still 'BIzarre', we must keep continual record of this BIzarre anomaly for future historians
Lol I only see it now.. I think he will leave it.
Same💯
Still there. It's not a a bug it's a feature.
Sonny, mad respect! What’s special about you is the combination of Bourdain-style intelligence, humor and general thoughtfulness for other cultures. I get to take advantage of the $0 airfare it cost me to visit all these countries from my temperature-controlled environment. ❤
you're forgetting his andrew zimmern level of adventurous eating
I was thinking the same thing
Better than Bourdain
The fact that we get free food & travel videos on KZhead by Sonny is truly a gift. 👏👏👏
I haven't got my free food yet😢
Right hasn’t this fella been on the travel channel basically took over after Anthony bordain passed
Right? he's like the Jesus Christ of culinary appreciativeness because who knows how much of this food has backfired on his stomach just for our personal gain, like the raw blood in africa for example Lol
This is probably the most respectful food content about the Faroe Islands I've ever seen. 😋
I absolutely love the vibe of his videos he’s so respectful to all cultures and it’s amazing ❤
This is one of my favorite episodes so far. Glad you got down to straightening out the controversies, and really getting to the heart of the life of the people. I appreciate your descriptions of the taste and smells and textures as well. You have just added one more place to put on my bucket list!
Ah man this place looks amazing. Love the nature. Love the culture. Love the people's attitudes. Love the freedom they have to just live and be human. Definitely a bucket list Island for me.
its like the european japan
I visited and can highly recommend it. You may want to do it sooner than later. Like Iceland, it could become over-run very fast.
@@thedalillama I'm afraid that when I visit I'll never leave
bro i wanted to move there from norway from watching this video xD
@@thedalillama Over-run by immigration?
This video opened my eyes to an area of the world I had never heard about. And, the idea of drying and fermenting meat is unique! Sonny, you have a wild and interesting life!
Especially the whale hunting. I always hated it, because I only saw the pictures and videos of the slaughter. Now that I know the people and circumstances behind it, I might still don't like it, but I have no hard negative feelings towards it and the people doing it anymore.
Loved this video so much! Such a unique place. Thank you for going somewhere so amazing for our viewing pleasure!
This was utterly fascinating! I loved this video and thank you for bring this to us all.
This guy is living my dream that I'll probably never have. I love culture and I love food, what a fantastic way to show case love for humanity.
If you can't believe that you could some day, it can't happen you know
Manifesting is real. Make it happen
This kid is a gift to the small islands. Seems like an awesome chef
One of my favorite episodes. I've watched it 3 times so far. I love the sea which makes this episode fitting for me. Thanks Sonny.
U make me wanna visit Faroe Island. It's amazing. This video is one of my favorites of yours. Thanks for sharing :)
I've been binging these recently and I have to say, I'm really impressed with the way they don't seem to overblow anything. Every situation seems fair and the treatment of everything from lobster flavor to whale hunting is given appropriate weight.
I was in the Faroe Islands in 2019… I love ❤ the Faroes! 🇫🇴
Thank you for your open and honest depiction of life in the islands
it is about the adventure and the people we bond with over the day to day mixing of cultures. Thank you and them for sharing the stories
I love blood sausage. 😋 My mom used to make it when we visited family in Romania. The family loved my mom's sausage. She learned how to make it from her Nana. I inherited the recipe books and cards from my mom. She passed away from cancer in 2015. There were only two things I brought home after she passed and one was the family cook books and cards. We made cooking journals as a family. Family members add new recipes with stories about the recipes and over time it becomes a journal of recipes. We even took pictures of new recipes and posted them in the book as a record. It kinda reminds me of a menu at a fancy restaurant. I blog recipes too because it's something I enjoy. I think it might be a genetic trait that my family has passed on. I might be the last family member to follow the old traditions too. Most of my mom's siblings have passed away from cancer. My brother doesn't care, he ran away with his two son's years ago. He has issues. I hope him and the boys are doing well. I miss them deeply. Food and music always brings people together. Sharing cultures is important for humanity to develop. ❤
I’ve watched this but i am rewatching it again to support you and so that you can amass again the million views that was lost. Keep on doing what your doing! 😊Actually this episode is one of my favorite… its is very interesting and someday i wanted to visit Faroe Island ❤
Me too
I have always wanted to visit the Faroe Islands, but I think I am too old to go there now. Your absolutely stunning video allows me to visit without going. I also appreciate your humour. Thank you.
you’re never old enough to travel😁
You can absolutely visit when you are up there in age. They main issue one might face it climbing some of the cliffs, but you can still see the beautiful landscape!
I would love to go here too, but I see no black people I wonder they like black people
@@shayethomas9246I did see a brown person in the video. You'll stand out, but so will really short people.
@@shayethomas9246I‘m a person of color, too. I guess they‘d be curious and benevolent.
Excellent Video Sonny 😊. So much history there. The food's looked great. 👌
41:22 "Whats going on here?" "Fermentation my man" ;D
Already sold at 5 min, this show definitely is the best one on youtube for sure. When restaurants server like that with the micro greens you know food must be amazing!
This man has made food vlogging a career path through youtube. Such Documentaries and an absolute treat to watch🥂
He’s a funny guy!!!
I just checked and I'm nearly an hour into this video. Wow! I don't usually watch youtube videos this long, but I haven't skipped a beat for your videos. Thank you and team for all the hard work and respect to the peoples and cultures you visit and share with the rest of the world!
This was an incredible offering! Very well done!
This is one of the most fun, educational, unique, beautiful and amazing best ever food review love from Tokyo 🇯🇵 I’ve already seen the original before but still for me this is one of the best ❤️
It’s not okay if you eat whale from a “research” ship.
@@dirtyfiendswithneedles3111 It's not OK to feed cows with corn & soya bean either.
Sonny fits in anywhere! Love his humour too
Great food, amazing scenery, and even more amazing people! Thank you for sharing🙂
its good to see you explore cultures and give us insights about it, sometimes we dont need to judge them so quickly , we just need to respect them for who they are and their culture, its just about respecting , they are not harming anyone or the animals, they are just trying to live and living out their culture, big respect to you sonny 👍👍👍👍
Sonny's energy is so welcoming and friendly tho the point he fits in everywhere
again a huge inspiration to me as a new filmmaker. I love how you've evolved from reviewing local cheese sandwiches to educating the world about food and culture. My favorite show. To date!!
Will you marry my daughter
@@moomaniac2932 sure. Why not
@@reeloutdoorjunkies3262 oh thank allah
Lmao.
@@moomaniac2932 can she cook?
That was the best hour and a bit ever. I loved this entire video. The presentation, covering controversial aspects and presenting the viewpoint of the locals perfectly. Thank you
Another awesome video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Absolutely loved learning about the culture and way of life. Keep it coming 😁.
This was an amazing, insightful and very well done mini documentary. I’ve always wanted to go and experience the Faroe Island and this confirmed it. Amazing culture and way of life. Well done 👏🏼
What a beautiful, wild place. I love it and the people seem to be incredibly hardy and kind.
This was my first time watching this channel and I found it very interesting. I will definitely be back. Thank you and keep up the great work.
This is one of the most interesting videos I have ever seen. Food is a huge part of culture, and I learned more about the Faroe Islands culture from their food than I probably could have in any other way. Fantastic video. Now I really want to try fermented lamb.😄
PLEASE explore the most northern parts of Canada! Northwest Territories and Nunavut to be specific, I don't live in the NWT anymore, but there are some delicacies you'd like to try, same with Nunavut. Its a vast part of Canada, and can be expensive, but an experience none the less. I love your channels, and have been watching for a few years now. Amazing content.
This was really interesting to watch. He's very respectful too with the culture and truly just wants to learn and try new things
I love how I watch every second of this video. It's very informative!
I think it's very difficult for foreigners to judge how locals eat. There are lots of factors as to why we eat what we eat
It’s impossible unless you visit and try the local foods for yourself.
well u can't really judge other cultures cuisine if ur own culture is also eating extra ordinary. So if u find people judging about certain culture cuisine then they are ignorance.
@@binz7087 well at the end of the day its your decision if you wanna buy those products and eat it, its not that their forcing u to eat it. And also ur not getting my point. Read again, if keep saying nonsense then u belong to the type of people I mentioned
@@tryhrdbotcodm you seem to have a weird confusion about why eating endangered animals is bad.
@@AL-lh2ht I never say that its good/bad to eat a certain animals/insects/species/extra, what im saying is before criticizing them make sure that ur own culture or ethnicity doesn't eat any extra (not normal?) food too. Its like ur talking shit to a person bad grade but u urself also has a bad grade.
Man, the stories of the food on your channel are amazing but the stories of the people are the real stars. Thanks so much for telling them.
One of the best on the channel ... Love your work Sonny ❤
It's totally awesome footage, and thanks for your time to do this. I agree with islanders to take what comes to them,unlike another country's overfishing that way in time because of overfishing they will disappear . I enjoy it when you get to spend quality time with the locals and learn from them . Big thanks to you and your team for another fantastic video's 👏👏🍺❣️
I'm happy you had to repost.. Truly enjoy your content and I only saw parts of this before.. As a restaurant owner/chef in Kingston Ont. I love seeing your dynamic look on the food, your narrative is amazing. And you are showing me and the world that we have interesting differences and cultural differences that are.... ok. Thank you
Sonny you are sooo awesome. This was a very interesting video. I'm so glad you finally got to visit there. As always you & your crew made it possible for me to feel as though I was there too. Thanks so much. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This was a wonderful episode. Thank you so much!
Omg i spit my drink out when the hermit crab yeeted out of its shell 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sonny, I absolutely love your videos. They take me out of myself to different places and I learn so much. I love your humor and your knowledge of different cultures. Thank you for giving us an inside look at how others live. It's awesome!
What I like about this channel is how they introduce me to unique culture, etiquette around the world,respect it & embrace it.
Thank you for this was awesome to see the real side of this place, the "different" food they eat and the history that goes with it! Amazing thank you 😊
I love how you show the full process it’s not blurred out or pixilated I love this 45:55
Such hospitable people. A wonderful culture I’m glad that this was up on KZhead and everyone can get a glimpse on a unique and relatively unknown people that are actually trying to save the planet despite what others think.
Unknown people?.. what is this bad joke? these people are well known throughout the world for their monstrous slaughter of whales and above all for the cruelty in slaughtered thering them, mammals endowed with an extreme intelligence undoubtedly superior to many ignorant subhuman parasites that populate this planet and who unfortunately are even destroying, exactly like those who populate that island.🤬
This is the best part of the (old) travel channel meets, bizarre foods meets the original food network. ❤ Where have you been in my life? 😊 This show is what I've been missing. Thank you for all you do. Please continue your wonderful videos.
Loved this episode. It's great seeing a place that hadn't been done by 100 other travel shows. The food looked great.
I'm always grateful for the continued content. I just hope you someday re-visiting places you have already been to. Places do change within a decade.
Very impressed with how the true lifestyle of the people of the Islands was captured - uninterrupted, untainted, and pristine. I am also impressed with how they accepted you (and the production crew) and almost completely opened up about every question you asked. I'm with you on those Langostino's, I could eat 'em every meal for a week. I must tell you, I've watched you off and on for a couple years and some of the vlogs just turned me off entirely. I hope this is a turn around for the direction you are heading. Keep up the great work, and keep 'em coming!!!
well said sir!
That was amazing! You have done so many exotic food videos, and mostly in Asia. Who would have guessed that one of your most exotic food videos would be in the ocean west of Europe. So crazy interesting. I live in Utah, USA, and I do some hunting. But this was next level. Thank you. 🙏
Yo I've never seen this show before, I love it!!! You got a sub :D
One of best episodes, Faroe, is greatest unique place in Europe. This troubles are similar but different in Egypts episodes, and this was epic & adventurous as well ! My big compliments and love for ALL content of Best Ever Food🤟🏆✌💞Peace
....in every episodes i feel sorry for the killed animals, - i am a flexitarian
I lived in Iceland for almost a year (w/ the USAF) and both places have their similarities. BUT I have to admit, you produced a very interesting program on the Faeroe Islands (food-centered of course) which made me wish I'd traveled there. Maybe someday ... (There's a statue of a woman/seal skin - a Silkie? - which I'd love to see in person.) TY for an interesting, informative, and eye-opening travelogue. Your whale hunting, background, and personal views segment was very good. It provided some much-needed context on the subject as it pertains to the Faeroe Islands and its people. So, big compliment on that segment in particular.
So so beautiful and amazing scenery!! As always...I love this channel. Mad respect for Sonny!!😋😋😘😘🤤🤤
Dang, I was subscribed when you had 200k subs now 10mil, foodies will love your channel. Still great contents! Keep the vids coming
I want to experience these amazing food culture. I love the way you've documented it.Thanks Sonny.
killing whales is cool
@@johnsterling5425 correct
This was one of the most interesting episodes I've seen, incredible job Sonny
Probably the video that made me follow you - really enjoyed this!
Just wanted to say we love your channel, keep up the great work - from Darwin, Australia.
I never thought I would enjoy anyone more than Andrew Zimmern but your channel is very entertaining
I love your videos man, They are so adventures and fun I actually picture my self with you.
Heck yah, Fascinating! Minnesota, keep up the good work Bro!
I've watched this video three times. Once for the original upload and twice for this video. You've made me actually want to go to the Faroes.
My best friend was from Sweden, and her husband was Arne from the Faroes, God RIP you both. Love you Anna Maja Martinsson Bugatsh!
Sonny's presentations are truly exclusive. He has extra ordinary capability to keep his viewers watching the content to the end....
This one was amazing to watch. Great job showing the culture and the reason behind it.
Great video, entertaining and out of the normal everyday places in Europe. Now I really want to go!
This channel is such a comfort channel for me. Love all of your videos! Also cracked up at you calling out your wifes feet smell lmao 🤣🤣
I can't wait until you hit 10 mil subscribers. You're channel is soo unique and hits on a huge variety of concepts in regards to foods from around the world. Every video is entertaining, you're a great host and have awesome energy. Keep doing what you're doing because it's awesome. Thanks for being the vessel to bring all different cultures and foods to us all!
And how exactly is that going to impact your life?
@@thefattesthagridit will just make them happy. don’t be so cynical for no reason and let people enjoy what they find joy in. How does them finding happiness in the channel reaching 10M effect YOUR life so much you rudely take your time to write this comment? Grow up.
@@shelby0628 Right, never trash on heroin addicts. When I made pie back in the day, I at least made sure it was properly beaten beforehand, young woman.
I think they already have 10m. But I think he deserves 100M. such a educational fun channel with positive information.
Fantastic content loved every second, well done
Thank you for all you do. Please continue your wonderful videos.
Really appreciate this type of video. The difference between this video and others such as Mark Wiens style is the interview and history behind. This makes me wanna travel to live the experience.
Been watching for a while now and like many before me have said...this could be an actual TV show. The production quality and sonny's experience and personality are spot on. My guess is more people are reached this way and I'm grateful for that. Amazing show and always makes me hungry. Also aware it was set to be. And wasn't. Never understand that.
Thank u for such an amazing share of your expetience.
Amazing show. Now I want to go on a Faroe Island food safari. Amazing culture and amazing people.
I get a No Reservation from Anthony Bourdain vibes on your video. Keep doing the great work!
I was here!
What an awesome documentary great humour and great hosts
Montis is one hell of a guy, handsome too! Definitely living his dream I'd say.
