🥒 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.

I'm so happy to have been part of the Lebanese series!! I am indeed cycling across Africa, and met Sonny by coincidence in Ethiopia 3 hours before his flight to Lebanon. Somehow I ended up there co-hosting two episodes and sharing my passion for Lebanese food and stories from my country that I believe matter! I flew back to Ethiopia when the shoot finished, to keep cycling :)
Watched a couple of journey but the way you handle the Sudanese episode where you looked for Arque was terrible at some point you said I don’t mind jeopardising the ppls identity and you respond “ they are in war” content hunger scavengers. You have no respect for local ppl. Don’t feel entitled just because you are tourist may be you can learn to be or two things from Sonny how he approach people.
@@Black-lionessOH damn for real.
Awesome!! Thanks for being a part of this!!
@RobertoHelou That is what I call being at the right place at the right time. When energy is in motion. The universe will guide us exactly where we need to be. And you were in the perfect spot. Isn't that amazing.
I find it really funny, so many of us. Never planning something. Never having that on our thought. Yet there it is at our fingertips. And then under our feet. Such a beautiful thing..
What a blessing. What a treasure.. and something to share, food. It's what binds us together.. ❤
You`re a great guy habibi! Allah atik afi
this is what i love bout this show. its not only bout food, but culture, people and economical status. Truly a show that widen the world view of their viewers!
you bet... these types of content is so enlightening... i used to have a friend in Lebanon, but, idk what happened we just lost communication.... we were playing a game, we met through that game, and used to chat a lot.. but suddenly, she Haven't been online for like a year now...
Muslim can say whatever they want but bacon and ham rules
absolutely out of context dear @ifques30 you need rehabilitation, seek it>
Lebanon people the best of their food the ate and their preparation superb
seen in vedio ever episode hosted by American food blogger.
@@vladimircurkoski1455no one cares
You're more than a food critic. Man, what an experience I just went on watching this! You have a great team. The video angles are so perfectly shot and the way you narrate everything with facts & interviews is so awesome! Enjoyed this.
I love Lebanon! Lebanese people are the nicest and their food is amazing!! I wish them all the best. Maybe someday Lebanon will rise again and become-again- the jewel of the Middle East.
walahi inta stoopid.
A lot of middle eastern countries have fantastic people and food and are victims of government corruption. I worked at a Lebanese restaurant in New England 30 years ago as a dishwasher at 17 years old. The family paid for my college books in my 1st year of school.
that's this world. why can people only "see" such a small portion of what's going on (aka act like one place is suffering "more" than another, when it's not about gauging who is going through more pain or less, it's about acknowledging, we're all going through PAIN and in the SAME BOAT!) because my friend, that's this entire world.
two of the most corrupt things in this world are "governments" and "religion" (both divide people, n both have extremists that do very silly things to other "humans" for those said "causes") the more PEOPLE and this WORLD, trust/rely/use LESS of them both, you will see how much "better" this world will be. facts.
as long as there is a "government" and/or a "religion" in any country, there will always be people suffering because of it/them.
Indeed the tragic part of living in a Paradise Like country is unfortunately the government almost always screws it up
I pray that they soon have a very decent group of people to run their government so that the region can reach it’s full potential
Islam is the problem

The baba was my favorite part 😂 he is like every dad ever. I feel like he was one second away from adopting Sonny so he can yell at him for being annoying but with love 😂❤
Yes he was the best 😂😂
Sonny - "Fun"
Baba - "No. Delicious"
Sonny - "So delicious"
He fell into the role unaware.
As a kid living in Sydney Australia, Lebanese cuisine was synonymous with all middle eastern cuisine to me. I was blown away when I learn that the actual country is so small geographically. Their food and culture is truly larger than life.
These modern borders in the Levant (and the Middle East in general) are nothing more than arbitrarily imposed and sustained splits of an otherwise diverse and much more complex region... A sad reality that continues to create problems to this day.
90% of the food we saw is Turkish cuisine.
@@alpbini5459 which dishes shown here are Turkish?
@@alpbini5459 list one Turkish dish on this episode and then explain how the turks had it in their steppes before the migrated. I will be waiting.
@@alpbini5459this is the worst joke in history mate😂😂😂
Om goodness, my heart breaks for the Syrian people. Prayers for them. Thank you so much for making this video, Mr. Sonny.
I was very emotional when I was watching this video. May God bless Syrian people who are displaced ❤❤
Thank you for respecting and supporting my country ❤
Best show on the internet. It's brutally honest and you showcase the best and worst things that many of us never get to see. The part with the Syrian refugee camp was a truly vulnerable moment for all and extremely sobering. Thank you for giving them a voice.
I wouldn't go as far as to say it's the " Best show on the internet "😂
Maybe one of the best food review shows on youtube
okay you dont have to@@tonystarks9150
If the world could sit down at a table and share our cultural foods together I think there would be world peace.❤
No, because religion exists.
Nah bro, let the world smoke weed one day. It'll be actual world peace day.
@@jaberus2right, some of the most unstable place always near the "holy land" or the birth of any abrahamic religions.
Let's do it! I'll start cooking. Everyone has to bring a dish meaningful to their family. How can anyone stay mad while eating good food with great company?
@@jaberus2True
I am glad you went to Lebanon. I really enjoyed this show. My mom, who passed away, lived in Lebanon. We love their food and wish the Lebanese people the best.
Far cry from Egypt! Lebanese people are great and have a lot of pride. Their food and hospitality is 2nd to none.
Thank you for this hard hitting and empathetic view into this part of the world that I wouldn’t have seen without you and your team. Must be challenging. Sending love ❤️🩹
Right
this channel is indeed the best ever food review show on youtube
…and beyond!
Best ever you tube name
right this like the only one i will even watch anymore i’ll even rewatch them if i run out of videos they teach u sum and make u wanna eat
Thank you for sharing the story of the Syrian refugees. The Syrian people have struggled a lot since 2011. They are almost forgotten about by the world. More than one million Syrians died and 13 million got displaced to neighboring countries.
I’m from Lebanese descendants here in Brazil and I absolutely love our food and culture. Kibbeh is like my bread and butter. Thank for this video, such great content!
Aside the food; there is so many interesting things in this video.. The refugee camp part is a brilliant idea to shown how Lebanese are keeping their land as shelter for people in need. A lesson for the whole world. Thank you very much. Shukran bezzaf
I am Indonesian, I have privileged to worked and lived in Lebanon 2010-2012..it was the time of my life.
Love the summer..and winter..Marine bay during Christmas time.downtown..hambra..souk🎉🎉till I visit again.
Take care Lebanese ❤❤much love from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Seeing Abir made me smile❤Idk why but she is like an older sister that you want to visit all the time for food😁 🇱🇧 Lebanon one of the best food menu around the world❤
One day I will visit Lebanon 🇱🇧 ❤ from 🇧🇩
The father and son duo is just wow 😊 honest as he said about preserved meat breakfast as his father believe it's preserved and eaten for year , and replied: they did 😂
Bro I’m Lebanese who lives in Norway, and I wanna say thank you so much for this video. This brought happy tears to my eyes . God bless you!
I like all these peacefull, nice, friendly and important people representing other cultures and walks of life. This is where getting along starts
One of the best episodes yet. Great job covering a complex situation with class and care - and of course thank you for the stunning mouth watering dishes as per usual. I'd love to visit lebanon someday!
I'm happy that Lebanon is shown in all the beauty it deserves to be shown in ❤️ You should check out Bosnia next!!! 😁🇧🇦🇱🇧
Bosnia is a beautiful country also
Do muslims in lebanon drink wine n alcohol?
@@ChopandchillMuslims no
yes some muslims do, @@Chopandchill
Thank you Sonny.
For opening our eyes to the diverse food/cultures that exist throughout the globe.
It truly makes me appreciate food on another level.
From a Lebanese liviing in tge US tgank you for such an authentic experience. I had left Lebanon at the age of 17 during tge civil war. I am now 54 and do not know most of the places you visited. A heart akin story what the Syrian refugees are going through. There must be a collectuve UN solution for their suffering. THX
That's the best documentary food I've ever seen.
Seeing food from all the different angles .
Put us right in the daily citizens surviving life.
Accompanied with these delicious well presented dishes .
Man !! A masterpiece show.
I’ve literally been following Abir for a year and have never heard her speak!! 😂😂 she is awesome and my favorite TikTok chef!! She’s beautiful, kind and extremely talented
She's sexy af
I love Lebanese cooking. In college, my Italian grandmother used to send me Caponata & pecorino cheese with peppercorns. My roomates Lebanese grandmother used to send him Kibbeh... We'd smoke a fatty J and share our feast. Good times.
😂😂😂
Amazing that you got the balance so perfect in relation to presenting the amazing food and culture of Lebanon, while also providing insight into the experiences of those who are struggling in refugee camps. Well done!
For some reason, there is nothing better than old traditional people being so warm and welcoming, it's just so incredibly wholesome!
I've always loved this channel, not just for the food review,
but the extra information about the country's etc
A small country, but with cultural and intellectual diversity the size of a continent ❤ What I noticed most is the cleanliness everywhere
You can't be a Muslim and be dirty!!! Half the religion is based on cleanliness.
Clean? you sure were never there xD
@@schadiel-ghorayeb479 I've visited it before 👌 And I know what you saw "The problem is that you do not differentiate between the d,irty rich and the clean poor"
@ilhamtlam5250 Beirut is clean ueah but when you go to Tripoli and other villages its dirty as the government doesn't want to help those areas, all the money goes to Beirut
True . Lebanese and Syrians housewives - and off course their children - are well-known for their cleanliness , no matter where they live. Ma sha Allah. I am Saudi.
It’s an amazing video. I’ve come back to find the others RUclipsrs. I’ve watched good videos about Lebanon but this one is far the best❤
Lebanon people touch me a lesson today, adaptation to any circumstance in life. Love you 🇱🇧❤️
Thanks for this amazing video making me rediscover my country
I pray for Lebanon to be safe and rich again, I must visit this country one day, how sad what Lebanon has become 💔
Just want to say thank you for shedding light on the crisis in Lebanon as well as the Syrian refugees, and even providing some assistance to those you spoke with. I’m first gen Lebanese in the americas and I still have majority of my family back home in Lebanon, where they’re now facing a new crisis on top of the dismantled government. I always want to tell people how beautiful Lebanon and our people are, and breaking the stigma as Muslims in Lebanon and how free you are regardless of belief. And also, how amazing the food is!
Muslims are the problem.
Thank you Sonny and team for breaking barriers and shattering stereotypes. through food and travel you are opening hearts and minds. May you continue to expand our horizons.
And now I want to visit Lebanon, just so I can experience all of this.
you can't because of the instability in lebanon, hezbollah and israeli hamas war
@@Xamufam Seems Sonny made it out alive LOL
@@peterpan31000 this is months old videos
@@peterpan31000Sonny also often has his own security detail/government escort in certain places
You are welcome anytime ❣️🇱🇧
Thank you so much for this beautiful work! Notably the last part. Thank you
this show was awsome ,,,thanks ,,,,very historically educational too....learning about ancient middle eastern countries
This is so eye opening. Thanks for sharing this!
Lebanon is just stunning!
Actually now should be a great time to visit Lebanon. Your money would go a long way.
Why Abir deserves more. She unbelievable! A perfect artist. I started following here after your video.
Your best ever yet.
1 hour & I just can't get enough..Lebanon & its people & its culture & its food just give me new insights. Thank you, Sonny & team...
Love Lebanon from Morocco 🇲🇦🦁🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lebanon is one of my favorite countries that Sonny has visited. Beautiful people, beautiful scenery and delicious food. I would love to visit some day!
I love lebanese food. Once i lived in Kuwait where lebanese cuisine is very polular and i tried many. Yow will find lebanese restaurant in every corner of the town.
One of the best videos I've ever seen on RUclips so far, great job hope you more success.
Amazing your teaching people about not only food but also culture.. I never thought Libanon was so amazing diverse and open... Also 90% of the food is on my bucket list now ❤
Been one of the best series’ I want to go so bad now, and the fooood man! 🤤
Not Lebanese, but can confirm Lebanese food is the BEST CUISINE in the world. Especially the meat dishes.
this is epic. wow i enjoyed every minute of it.. thank you . i'm sure you had enjoyed your stay in Lebanon.
home sweet home. how much i've missed it.
The fact that he can remember what country he ate something before months or years apart is amazing.
Omg! Lebanon looks like a dessert and food heaven. 😋😋😋🤌🏾
Thank you for posting this and showing the generosity of the Lebanese people, their culture and lifestyle.
Love how beautifully they present their food.
Congrats on the show's success , its nice to see a fellow Minnesotan traveling and experincing so many great cultures and experiences!
5:51….baker seasoning the dough😂
I could cry!!! I always wished you would come visit our beautiful country and you came!!! On behalf of all of us in Lebanon, we thank you and we love you! Come back soon!!!
Love your videos now. You have come a long way. You explore different cultures along with their food and respect them.
Amazing as always, alot of wonderful personalitys, such a pleasurd to watch, the deep fried tuna balls looked amazing, would love to try one day!
❤❤❤yes I'm watching it again 😅I love this channel❤❤❤I watch the 2 or 3 hour ones👏🏽🙏🏼💯from beginning to end with the focus of a lion😂😂😂❤❤then I re-watch the shorter version ...a few times 😂😂😂😂thanks for the best food channel
Excellent work - thank you! - Beautiful country, people, and culture
This was a fantastic video and emotional one too,
You have givin an insight into the refugee camps of which ther is most normal decent people sadly stuck ther, my heart goes out to them,
Keep up the good work big man 👍👌
Sounds like one of the best cuisine in the world. One day if I have a chance I’ll definitely go to Lebanon to try it’s food ❤🇱🇰
I absolutely love the intro to the region that you do with these kinda videos at the start. Much respect for always submersing yourself in the culture and informing viewers like me. ❤🔥
The way I was on the edge of my seat as a South African...This was so interesting because the history is interesting and I think we can relate as South Africans about their resilience but they keep pushing everyday. Unique culture.
like your videos and your style thank for showing us around meeting with so many famous chefs and different kind of foods, and their sad history, hope your visit make their life more easy your team has done great job for each video
When I saw Abir I had to watch. I watch her channel on RUclips and love her content. Her food looks delicious, the music is exotic and she is so mysterious. So glad you were able to connect with her while visiting Lebanon.
I adore You Sonny... You bring so much happiness to Families all over the World! This is not Just a food channel, what you show a Lot of people is Culture and Cultures that struggle. You should call your channel "The Best ever Culture Documentary Channel" . I Love Your Work and of course Your Teams Work!!!! Thank You!!!
This was an excellent showing of the diverse food from Lebanon. Thanks.
Thank you so much for not only introducing the beautiful food but also the culture & people living in this country ❤
Thank you for sharing all this information. I personally have learnt a lot and also about the origins of certain cuisines that are served here in Africa💯
Your journey through the Middle Eastern culinary landscape is absolutely mind-blowing!
West asia
LEBANESE. Don't say ME like it's all one big blob. We're all different.
Great emotional episode.
Many thanks
Nizar
Lebanon is such a beautiful country. I'm so sorry for what's happening with the economic crisis and the Israëli invasion of south Lebanon. God bless you guys ❤️
Israel withdrew from ALL Lebanese land back in year 2000.
@@goodywardhunt3605 you dumb they bombed Lebanon with white phosphore just this morning
@@goodywardhunt3605don’t u think that what they did has consequences? And btw there were still targeting south Lebanese area. Even rn. So just because they ,,went back” (which they didn’t do by their own) it doesn’t mean that there’s no damage that they’ve done
Very very nice video. A great mix of the vast variety of culinary styles with a touch of reality and it’s problems depicted in a really nice way. Hat’s off, great work.
This channel is hands down the best one I’ve seen. So eye opening yet entertaining. Love sonnys humor! Keep it up we need more content❤
I can’t wait to visit this beautiful country and its people.. 🇦🇫 🇱🇧
I love how you weave personal stories, culture and history into the food/eating experience. Everything is intertwined! Thank you from Tasmania, Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
There's no way anyone or any channel in the world can top this content or Sonny's style of presenting it. Would love to visit Lebanon one day Insha'Allah.
Most of us Lebanese aren't Muslim. No need for your "mashalla"
thx for the video. amazing like usual
Such a wonderful video! I enjoyed every minute of it and I was really sad when I finished watching. Definitely a love hate relationship with Lebanon, we are proud lebanese even with all the struggles we are facing we will always be proud to be from such a rich culture and beautiful country ❤ thank you for this video
my first time to watch Sonny while crying, really hope everything is improving for everyone.
Thumbs up!
1:21:35 That tattoo said "DREAMS" 💔😔.
I noticed that too. I am glad you posted that specifically. There was so much to digest (pardon the pun) in this video that almost forgot. Need to get back to Lebanon asap.
Wow. Bravo very tastefully done. Thank you for shedding a light on the struggle.
Great video....probably one of the best. Ive learned a lot.
To everyone who sees this comment, keep pushing in life and never give up. Can't wait to see you successful one day and May God bless you!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sonny I gotta give it to ya, you're slowy but surely filling the gap that Anthony Bourdain left in the travel world... I catch quotes from you that whole-heartedly remind me of something he would utter off the cuff, and you got through similar ventures for nothing but the pursuit of good food and times (albeit a bit less alcohol is involved).
Hi, Sonny. I started watching your content as yours recommended my contents (and am v thankful). But the more i watch it, the more i like it. Esp this one, as I lived in Lebanon for 1 yr and it captures Lebanon so well. Thanks so much for great contents. ❤
really enjoyed watching this video, thank you so much for making such an informative and moving video. love from the uk.❤
Lord help this country greatly!!!!!!!!!
I have very much enjoyed your travels in Lebanon. Thanks
Always loved your Videos and your Energy, to see that you are so keen to come to my land and be so open and such a good person is respectable. keep up your great work ❤️
thank you sonny these video/documentary was very heartwarming to me almost got me to tear couple times! :D
I really like this episode a lot. I hope one day to visit any parts of Lebanon for leisure. Culture and cuisine are very rich.😊
One of your best episodes. Thanks for educating your viewers
Man you got me tearing in the end. thank you for shedding a light on the suffering of syrian people.
