I'm glad the winner was someone like Tuomas. Being able to experience the pinnacle of gastronomy in that way at such a young age would be quite the journey.
Haha I wouldn’t have understood this several years ago but on my way to Stockholm I stopped in Finland for a few hours. I had never seen an airport so quiet and relaxed. Nothing like the US.
In my experience, the Finnes are kind of like us Dutchies, humble and not so braggy, akin to prefer personal space and overal grounded people. I appreciate that characteristic.
1:20 hahaha smooth way of checking chemistry/attitude and if you could actually bear to spend an evening over dinner with someone, with an elegant exit strategy. Classy as always Mr. Alex ;)
Won't lie, but I like that. If it even happened, but this is definitely a guy that would roll that way. Plenty of good people might be weird with the camera, or just weird. Nobody gets embarrassed, or just had a bad day thats now all over the internet. I'd be interested in finding out if that might have happened with this, or any previous videos.
What a nice guy to win this give away. Nothing feels better than to see his sheer exitement for all these ‘first times’ he is experiencing. Well done Alexander.
very clever excuse for Alexander to promote his Restaurants LOL seriously though , Alexander seems like one of those guys that can get along with anyone regardless of background very likable , warm and intelligent ... Tuomas is just the coolest guy ever , people from Finland have amazing personalities
I really liked that they included some footage from Eszteregon and Budapest as I consider travelling thee but was unsure what to expect and if it's preferable to say Rome or Naples.
@@Bartolomeus-dl5ec Budapest is Amazing , been twice and would love to go back , the food options a amazing , the culture , architecture and its really affordable .. Loved Budapest
Such a good video! Tuomas had the perfect vibes! It's like seeing an extrovert interacting with an introvert in the best way possible haha We NEED that part 2!
I'm glad you've picked the right guy. Imagine you had picked someone who had seen it all. I'm sure Tuoamas truly enjoyed it and had the time of his life.....thus far.
Above and beyond. I’m from Spain, live in Hungary and participated in this via instagram. I was rooting for myself and thinking “If the choice would be 42, I’d be super happy!” Totally blown away. What an excellent experience for the young lad and his partner. 👏
Having done business in Finland (from the US - Semiconductors) for over 10 years (back in the 90s), it is such a pleasure to see that Tuomas, while remaining quintessentially Finnish, seems to show that the newer generation of Finnish citizenry has become more comfortable being outwardly open. I absolutely loved all of the time I spent in Finland and the Finnish people but their very reserved culture took some getting used to. The only way to get them out of their shells was to get them drunk. It was like meeting a completely new person. Wonderful episode and gesture by the host of the channel! Hats off and kiitos!
What a fantastic episode, with exciting reveals every so often. Best giveaway concept I've seen. Also, superbly happy to see a gent like Tuomas win! Can't wait for episode 2.
It's so nice of you to invite his girlfriend aswell! Can imagine how exciting it is to travel alone as an 21 year old and so this is a very nice gesture and amazing hospitality!
I'm only 4 minutes in and I'm so excited to see this contestant get his wonderful reward. I am excited to watch the rest of this show. Thank you Mr Alexander for giving myself and others a peek inside real fine dining establishments.
I love the way this video manages to bring the pleasent character of you two and genuine excitement of tuomas to my livin groom. For me that does not happen often with videos.
This is by far the most wholesome episode to date. Thank you for doing such an amazing content. Come to Warsaw so we can indulge some great champagne and fine foods together 🥂
Perfect! Loved the way you spoon fed Tuomas his first ever oyster & his positive response to the seafood generally. Interestingly Finnish & Hungarian both belong to the Finno-Ugric language family, but usually don't understand each other. Luckily for us, you both speak such excellent English and enhanced our perception of the world at large in so many ways through this episode.
That's something I was wishing for from this show. Some interaction with his dinner companions. I mean, I understand why he doesn't do it usually. Because it's about the restaurant, and not some influencer show. Or as little as possible about himself or other guests.
The difference between a 21 year old Scandinavian and a 21 year old North American is Stunning! What a truly thoughtful, smart kid Tuomas is! Great video, and a very good choice for winner.
Awesome! Tuomas seems like a great guy, and really cool of you to invite his girlfriend to join him. What a nice guy, Alex! Very generous👍🏻 And what a beautiful place to visit, so much magnificent, historic art and culture!
Great to see the young lad experiencing life in such amazing places. The food in Alex's restaurant was the best looking food I've seen in a while. Will definitely be checking it out sometime.
Amazing video as always, you made Tuomases day, month and possibly year! It gave me an idea that many of us subscribers would love to experience, you could organize a dinner party at your restaurant 42, where you share the evening with viewers that want to participate
Alexander, what a great channel you have. I am following you from start, and you truly are unique. 😊Congrats on everything, and also congrats to Thoumas🎉. Greetings from Slovenia 🇸🇮
What a pleasant lad. I liked their dynamic with the chef, they all seemed a bit camera shy. It's such a good giveaway, they'll have a great memory of this adventure for sure.
What a vibe!!! Such a gracious winner and such a great host to take him on this culinary journey. This settles it for me Alex I will be coming to 42 this year and celebrate such an awesome influencer!!
Fantastic, as always! This video proves that Alexander is the kind of guy that you'd want to have a beer with... or a three Michelin starred dinner. :)
Congratulations Tuomas, this will be an experience you will never forget. And congratulations to Alexander, you are such a generous person. I am so looking forward to seeing your nest video with Tuomas.🍾🥂
You, Alexander, embody class in its purest form: generosity mixed with grace and elegance. Well done. And the winner is a fine young man who will grow out this experience !
Amazing cliffhanger! First I thought Alexander wouldn’t be present for the giveaway. But he is doing so much more than that. Not a big fan of Dubai as a concept but I really wish I was toumas for this. Can’t wait for the next episode. Take me next time, Alexander!!!
I recognise so much. I have eaten (and stayed) at 42 this year too. First time eating caviar as well and what he says is just like my thoughts. Not what I thought it would taste like. So many different new dishes, wines... There was one tokaji aszu, Kiralyudvar, that one was so interesting. Unlike any wine I drank before. Esztergom is worth exploring indeed. Good experience!
Espectacular!! Que gran idea hacer un video con un espectador! Abrazos desde Argentina!! (Spectacular!! What a great idea to make a video with a viewer! Hugs from Argentina!!)
Congratulations, Tuomas, and thank you, Alexander for creating a wonderful experience and memories for this young lad. I'm not gonna lie jealous at heck, but awesome. Dubai is am so envious.
Just been to Sandors restaurant and had the exact same menu! Its been by far the best one starred experience so far and I hope you get the second star next year! A very little bit of improvement and youll get it.
I love watching these videos, but end up laughing every time. I laugh because I have a finicky palate, and in about 99% of these videos, I would eat nothing in the episodes, due to my limited palate. Oh, well.
Wow even though I didn‘t win I am highly amazed of the impression we gained through his experience. He seemed to really enjoy it. Thank you Alexander that you let people take a dip into the world of fine dining! Huge respect from me!
Amazing experience. It’s funny how you might be afraid to explore these kinds of dishes as a novice but as long as you keep an open mind and really try and focus on the flavors, you’ll more often than not be pleasantly surprised.
I'm a new subscriber and have been watching a lot of your videos. The production quality is tremendous. Your look, on point. You are well spoken, well dressed, and I appreciate your bringing us along with these journeys. It helps me see what's out there in my travels and to start putting some of these places on my own map to visit. Then this video. It was so much fun. Tuomas was a great compliment to your own personality and I look forward to the next video.
What a dream come true! Glad for you Tuomas, really am. If I by any chance get spare change, I would love to visit your own restuarant Alexander and share a moment. "Dreams away". Merry Christmas everyone and new year soon to be!
Wow ❤ vous aviez l'air très complices et j'ai bien aimé le ton détendu il y avait entre vous j'espère avoir plus de ces séquences qui vous révèle Alexander dans une autre facette grâce au miroir frais de cet homme humble et enjoué
I'm glad the winner was someone like Tuomas. Being able to experience the pinnacle of gastronomy in that way at such a young age would be quite the journey.
That's exactly what I was thinking! I couldn't believe he was a first time exclusive restaurant diner!
Agreed, far more wholesome and satisfying to see it was this young guy and not some other multi-millionaire CEO or something.
Really seems like the perfect guy to do this.
"Even though I'm very excited, I'm still Finnish". LOL. What a charismatic young man, glad you two had fun
Haha I wouldn’t have understood this several years ago but on my way to Stockholm I stopped in Finland for a few hours. I had never seen an airport so quiet and relaxed. Nothing like the US.
What a stupid thing to say.
In my experience, the Finnes are kind of like us Dutchies, humble and not so braggy, akin to prefer personal space and overal grounded people. I appreciate that characteristic.
i totally felt this message xD i don't like talking either, especially if it's not my first languange.
Glad that such a calm and respectful person won it, made the video as relaxing to watch as usual
1:20 hahaha smooth way of checking chemistry/attitude and if you could actually bear to spend an evening over dinner with someone, with an elegant exit strategy.
Classy as always Mr. Alex ;)
maybe there are a few videos just like this that won't see the light of day of people he didn't like haha, I'm glad that this was the winner though
Won't lie, but I like that. If it even happened, but this is definitely a guy that would roll that way. Plenty of good people might be weird with the camera, or just weird. Nobody gets embarrassed, or just had a bad day thats now all over the internet. I'd be interested in finding out if that might have happened with this, or any previous videos.

@@sitij6636 not the restaurants in Hungary , Alexander chose those !!!!

@@Ikrell-Lairesok
Most of us is here for his fine-dining expertese, but do not sleep on his business acumen! This man is an institution.
Both of you are such charismatic people. I'd love to hear/see how this experience will have shaped Tuomas 20 years from now
Your hospitality is just impeccable!!!! Cheers to you!
Very kind of you. Good for Tuomas too at that age an experience like that would truly shape the rest of my life.
Such a good video! Tuomas had the perfect vibes! It's like seeing an extrovert interacting with an introvert in the best way possible haha
We NEED that part 2!
Right! Alexander immediately switching into fun uncle mode was entertaining to watch.
Reaching out to viewers like this is so cool. We can live vicariously through Tuomas, who seems to be a perfect gentleman.
Indeed. Beaming for him 😊
I'm glad you've picked the right guy. Imagine you had picked someone who had seen it all. I'm sure Tuoamas truly enjoyed it and had the time of his life.....thus far.

Thoumas and you are both winners, you for being so generous and him for being so humble

What a fantastic episode, with exciting reveals every so often. Best giveaway concept I've seen. Also, superbly happy to see a gent like Tuomas win! Can't wait for episode 2.
Haha the chef did not seem pleased that he had to do this haha! However, great clip even though the chef looked grumpy af.
Yeah, he doesn't even respond to Tuomas after he shares his experience live.
Maybe he just want to go back to the kitchen to cook LOL
I wouldn't say grumpy, seemed like normal polite conduct to me.
It's so nice of you to invite his girlfriend aswell! Can imagine how exciting it is to travel alone as an 21 year old and so this is a very nice gesture and amazing hospitality!
What a lucky fellow. It was so good to see how much he appreciated all his experiences. Excellent video
I'm only 4 minutes in and I'm so excited to see this contestant get his wonderful reward. I am excited to watch the rest of this show. Thank you Mr Alexander for giving myself and others a peek inside real fine dining establishments.
I love the way this video manages to bring the pleasent character of you two and genuine excitement of tuomas to my livin groom. For me that does not happen often with videos.
This video makes me so happy! So happy for Tuomas. And this is so sweet and kind of you Alexander ❤️🥳
This is by far the most wholesome episode to date. Thank you for doing such an amazing content. Come to Warsaw so we can indulge some great champagne and fine foods together 🥂
Lovely to see the young man become more and more relaxed as his first Michelin experience unraveled. Just as it should be.
Perfect! Loved the way you spoon fed Tuomas his first ever oyster & his positive response to the seafood generally. Interestingly Finnish & Hungarian both belong to the Finno-Ugric language family, but usually don't understand each other.

... Alex the host is as amazing as Alex the guest!

You never cease to amaze, Alexander! Looking forward to Part II with you and Tuomas!
The difference between a 21 year old Scandinavian and a 21 year old North American is Stunning! What a truly thoughtful, smart kid Tuomas is! Great video, and a very good choice for winner.

Never been happier to have lost a giveaway, seems like a top lad.
Amazing video as always, you made Tuomases day, month and possibly year!

What an awesome video, so hyped for Part 2. Thank you so much for giving you fans such exceptional opportunities Alexander.
This channel is pure gold! Keep up with the good work.
Alexander, what a great channel you have. I am following you from start, and you truly are unique. 😊Congrats on everything, and also congrats to Thoumas🎉. Greetings from Slovenia 🇸🇮
I don't think you could've found a more deserving winner, what a guy!
Couldn’t be more jealous of Tuomas! A true foody and a burgeoning food review, what a fantastic experience for him!
What a pleasant lad. I liked their dynamic with the chef, they all seemed a bit camera shy. It's such a good giveaway, they'll have a great memory of this adventure for sure.
Great! Absolutely deserved and props to you for giving him such a great adventure!
What a vibe!!! Such a gracious winner and such a great host to take him on this culinary journey. This settles it for me Alex I will be coming to 42 this year and celebrate such an awesome influencer!!
Fantastic, as always! This video proves that Alexander is the kind of guy that you'd want to have a beer with... or a three Michelin starred dinner. :)
Such a cool and heartwarming video, Alexander is one of the best RUclipsrs I've ever seen.
Very holesome video! Massive respect to both you and Thomas :) it’s very noticeable that he appriciated this a lot. Wishes from Sweden :)
This video was so fun to watch! You guys had me smiling the entire video, cant wait for the next video!
What an incredible experience Tuomas! I am glad the two of you had such a wonderful time. I doubt fast food will ever be the same for you Tuomas.
Alex, the joke about being good at feeding because he has kids was hysterical and wholesome
gratz on him, hes such a humble man, good for you guys, and that shot of the city was breath taking of your home Alexander.
Argghhh! How did I miss the contest. Another great video. Love the candid conversation. What a lucky winner!
I’m glad the prize went to someone with an open mind (and a sound mind) willing to experience a great opportunity. Well done! 😎👍🏼
Perfect winner! Tuomas is so appreciative and grateful.
That was very generous of you Mr. Alexander!
Huge thanks to you Alexander for doing this kind of things. It really makes someones life.
Congratulations Tuomas, this will be an experience you will never forget. And congratulations to Alexander, you are such a generous person. I am so looking forward to seeing your nest video with Tuomas.🍾🥂
You, Alexander, embody class in its purest form: generosity mixed with grace and elegance. Well done. And the winner is a fine young man who will grow out this experience !
great content this one, generous and down to earth. Nice way to turn it into a small video series as well, solid production! Chapeau to both of you!
Tuomas needs his own channel. Would definately go out for dinner with this legend..
Amazing cliffhanger! First I thought Alexander wouldn’t be present for the giveaway. But he is doing so much more than that. Not a big fan of Dubai as a concept but I really wish I was toumas for this. Can’t wait for the next episode. Take me next time, Alexander!!!

Congratulations, Tuomas, and thank you, Alexander for creating a wonderful experience and memories for this young lad. I'm not gonna lie jealous at heck, but awesome. Dubai is am so envious.
Tuomas is a great guy, very polite and active in the video. What an experience it must be!
:D That was very nice! Such joy to see him appreciate and love the experience!!
Wow that was incredible, good job Alexander for giving him such an unforgettable experience!
What a great young man! So enthusiastic...in a Finnish way, hahaha... can't wait to see part 2!
What a lovely young man. And what a great winner. Im so excited for him to have these fantastic experiences. Cant wait for the next episode.
It was fun to see you interacting with a guest, especially one like Tuomas. Hope to see some more videos like this one!
amazing that a fellow Finn won the giveaway!
I’m so pleased for both of you! I can’t wait to see part 2!
I can't even hate the guy out of envy, he seems like a good kid! Love the Finnish character
So happy to see someone from my mother’s birth country getting to have such a marvelous experience with you !
Very cool to see you spread the generosity!
Getting Alexander to feed you oysters like you're a baby bird, good job Tuomas. LOL
Just been to Sandors restaurant and had the exact same menu! Its been by far the best one starred experience so far and I hope you get the second star next year! A very little bit of improvement and youll get it.
I genuinely smiled throughout this video! Great format. Great host.
What a wonderfull experience you gifted to them! You deserve all your yt success! And Thomas seems like a great guy.
I love watching these videos, but end up laughing every time. I laugh because I have a finicky palate, and in about 99% of these videos, I would eat nothing in the episodes, due to my limited palate. Oh, well.
Honestly, I almost never comment on videos, but this one really got to me. Thank you for creating and sharing this.
Wow even though I didn‘t win I am highly amazed of the impression we gained through his experience. He seemed to really enjoy it. Thank you Alexander that you let people take a dip into the world of fine dining!
Huge respect from me!
Congrats to the winner!
Very happy for them. What a fantastic, well-thought out experience. Congratulations Alex
I'm so envious!!!
To be this lucky! Can't wait to watch this.
I feel like the right person won the contest. I just found out about this channel a few days ago, and I'm already addicted to it 😅
This is a great giveaway, a nice feel-good video and Alexander is just amazing. Hats off!
What a treat! Well done.
A year ago I was in your Bistro. The best Halaszle I've ever eaten. Good job.
This video is just so wholesome and warm!
Fantastic job, looking forward to the next episode of your adventure.
Amazing experience. It’s funny how you might be afraid to explore these kinds of dishes as a novice but as long as you keep an open mind and really try and focus on the flavors, you’ll more often than not be pleasantly surprised.
I absolutely love this! And probably my favorite part is where you spoke to the camera at the lunch
I'm a new subscriber and have been watching a lot of your videos. The production quality is tremendous. Your look, on point. You are well spoken, well dressed, and I appreciate your bringing us along with these journeys. It helps me see what's out there in my travels and to start putting some of these places on my own map to visit.
Then this video. It was so much fun. Tuomas was a great compliment to your own personality and I look forward to the next video.
New menu at 42 sounds amazing! Congrats to the new chef!
What a dream come true! Glad for you Tuomas, really am. If I by any chance get spare change, I would love to visit your own restuarant Alexander and share a moment. "Dreams away". Merry Christmas everyone and new year soon to be!
Alexander the Host is every bit as wonderful as Alexander the Guest!
Nice Finn representation. Tuomas is really showing our national identity here.
Wow ❤ vous aviez l'air très complices et j'ai bien aimé le ton détendu il y avait entre vous j'espère avoir plus de ces séquences qui vous révèle Alexander dans une autre facette grâce au miroir frais de cet homme humble et enjoué
16:05 you can see both of your doppelgangers behind you 😂😅
Fantastic video as always. I'm sure this young man had an experience of a lifetime!
I'm glad he got to try it I'm like him. Never had this food in my life it looks amazing
