🥒 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.

Sonny goes to the heart of wherever he visits... Gives authentic experience of the county's he goes to... love watching this series as a South African❤️🇿🇦
-
this is not a foodie channel, this is cultural tourism. much love & respect to you Sonny

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 🍲

The “chalk” rock is also a thing in Mexico. Mind blowing how there’s so many similarities in countries across the world!!
-
These series are becoming more than food shows, this is a real insight into people and their culture. It's more of a documentary. A real eye opener into how others live and make the most out of so little. Top job Sonny
-
this made me so happy, i never see african food in media without someone calling it gross or weird. loving this content
-
Andrew is an amazing guide for this video!! He explains the food and the culture so well! I like how he keeps it real and tells it like it is. I agree that struggle and scarcity in a region truly brings out the flavor in food.
-
Sitting on a bucket in the middle of the township enjoying food is very authentic. Truly amazing human being Sonny is
-
This was another fantastic episode! As a South African it always warms my heart to have my country shared to a wider audience. Thanks for doing an excellent job!
-
That Alexandria still looks cleaner and safer then Detroit
-
Sonny really breaks down cultural barriers with absolute respect.
-
Mogodu we call it matumbo in 🇰🇪.... A tasty delicacy here, best served and eaten hot with ugali (similar to pap)...
-
My foster dad is from south African and he was born in Johannesburg he introduced me to biltong, droewors, Broëwors melktert yet to try other dishes and snacks absolutely feel in love with the food
-
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 enjoyed Soweto when I visited and though it’s been a while- what a happy reminder Sonny gave me! The people of this township were gracious, friendly, are are still in my thoughts and prayers ❤
-
I must say the gentleman who took a tour with you is worth it.. he represented and excelled.. . Thank you man and thank you Sonny for choosing SA
-
Sonny's sense of humor is unmatched 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 thank you for showing the world my country!! 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
-
Just at the start of the video and the $2300 a year absolutely shocked me. Then she says she pushed herself to get a diploma in civil engineering! It actually gave me goose bumps. She has more education than I do and I didn't have to grow up in a place like this. The strength of some people is amazing!
-
I'm from south africa and what Andrew did there was wonderful, he explained everything into detail and didn't leave anything...all the information is 100% correct. Big up bro🎊🙏
