Ok 👍👍👍
Sony u got to put spanish subs... theres a lot of my friends that they would love to seen them, you would have millions in subscribers with the same amount of videos, millions of watchins with 0 effort... I am just saying, im froma Argentina and love your vids.. im starting again goin downwards to the first video, but, theres a lot and I got a lot of things to do lifewising, so, see u dude
I love that you put the chef under a bit of pressure by asking them how they get to that price point. I mean let's be honest, sometimes the best food can be really cheap. My favorite by far comes from my own garden.
Anyway keep up the awesome work! Best wishes to you and yours; ❤️🖤

The Yeti product placement is off the chain 😂
Overhyped & overpriced. I'll stick to my cheap Igloo. 😅
I love the Chef’s attitude. He knows he’s great, he doesn’t have to repeat it and he wants better!
He says he respects life/food then talks about throwing food in the trash if it's not cooked to his 2-Michelin star standards. 17:32 "You f'd up, now you can throw it away." 🤡
@@toolbaggersHe said that because he does not like that. He said he respects the life that the animal had and messing the food up and throwing the animal away is what he hates.
@@toolbaggersyou need to listen carefully 😭
That chef Kent is so right. When you take an animal's life, you have to do something great with it.
oh so what you're really saying is that poor people are killing things recklessly and haphazardly for food.
@@Trigger200284 Nope
@@narvul that's what i hear.
@@Trigger200284 How can I know what you're hearing?
@@narvul Say it out loud and listen to what is said?
Liked Chef Kent and his philosophy "Just make the best, badass seafood we can make not focusing on becoming a 3 Michelin Star restaurant as the priority." Smart.
The chef who throws food away if it's not cooked to perfection in his eyes. Yes we definitely need more of his type and his clientele in the world.
🤔

Bit of a pretentious prick
hes giving me bear vibes
@@toolbaggers missed that. i only caught hiw he hates waste.
His place looked awesome.
This entire tour was awesome
250 for an empty plate.
Probably some of the best, most well produced video series I've seen on TH-cam. It was like watching a movie.
Sonny makes it so compelling. You can't help but root for him. 👍👍👍
True.
👍
My man Sonny!
I am English living in Cyprus and can attest that the Greeks know how to cook!! As a fish lover, but Kleftico, Dolmades, etc are wonderful. Thank you, Sonny & team. ❤❤🙏🙏
Best thing about Cyprus, being on a small island you know the catch is always fresh
@@tonyatthebeach Absolutely, have a good week. 🤗
Haha the Greeks (from Greece) are our brothers from another mother, coming from a Cypriot. Even though us Cypriots call ourselves Greek Cypriots or just Greeks. I hope you love our country
Also Dolmades is Greek (Greece) name whilst in Cyprus we call it Koupepia
Some of the best fish and eating I’ve had was on lesvos. Wonderful food and people.
Back in the early 90's I worked at The Paris Cafe in lower Manhattan right across the street from the old fish market. The foot rail around the bar was a steam pipe so the fish mongers could warm their feet while at the bar. I would get off work at about midnight and go to the market to see what they had for tomorrow's special. Very cool for seafood. Ah-✌️🐟
Love your ah peace reference emoji at the end of your nicely played! Nice comment too mate
The silent Yeti commercial 😅
“Tell me you’re sponsored without telling me you’re sponsored.”
It's kinda sad to be honest.
@@ganesha2933 its sad that hes making money ? go get a fucking job
That thing cost about $500. It’d rather invest in that than a $290 meal.
@@ganesha2933 not sad at all, im happy for him
Yeti must’ve been strict with their product placement contract huh
I went to Saga with my mom 6 months ago. It was the worst Michelin star restaurant I’ve been to. They served us liquid nitrogen frozen foie gras pâté with pickle cantaloupe balls as one of the dishes, it was genuinely nasty eating cold fat that just coated your tongue. The dishes were overall mid quality for the crazy price point.
The low cost Greek dishes 364 days out of the year. The tasting menu on my birthday. All of the dishes looked incredible!
thats a down to earth but ambitious and genious chef right there
I was thinking the same 😅
Genious

@@toolbaggers does he really have F ups at his restaurant? Or is he talking about others? 🤡
I'm so happy you have big brands like Yeti working with you now! I've been watching you for at least 5 years and it's been amazing to see your growth!!
What brand was that cooler? I couldn't read the name in any of the 100 shot of it. /s
😂
I think it was sasquatch or something
Thats a Yeti .
No worries. It's called ManBearPig.
I believe it's Arse.
I like the chef at the end. Not faking, being himself, has a passion for food and cooking. Some chefs are like car salesmen and come off as fake and you think, "If a steak fell on the floor, that guy would pick it up and still cook it." This guy comes across as the opposite.
He says he respects life/food then talks about throwing food in the trash if it's not cooked to his 2-Michelin star standards. 17:32 "You f'd up, now you can throw it away." 🤡He's a pretentious hypocrite
20:28 Sonny was too tired to do his usual rambling as he walked away from the camera. 🤣🤣
Come to Halifax, Nova Scotia! Amazing seafood and variety from around the world
$295! Where the rest of my meal? 😂
$380 with tax and tip
$12 in food $283 in overhead.
Red Snapper= $6 per fish Costco wild caught.
295 dollars, gawddamn I can fill my fridge for a whole month. 😂
That's a lie. You must have a mini fridge 😂
You must not be American. 295 dollars is 5 days worth of groceries
@@hylianro Factz
+tax and 20% tip = 💲380💰💸
@@hylianro for an individual living alone, 300$ a month is enough for me .
Chef said "we fooled em all" he meant that frfr
I've lived in NYC pretty much all of my life and had never heard of Saga. Thanks so much for the informative video and for the great close up shots of the fish! I really appreciate it!
Really love James. Great guy , great chef.
Come to Hampton Roads in Virgina. We've got an amazing array of seafood in 7 cities from many different cultures.
Are you employing at the moment?
Hampton Roads is the area I live in. It's 7 different cities in south east Virginia, including Virginia Beach. And yes, Hampton Roads is hiring lol
757 VA BEACH/CHESAPEAKE checking in. Hampton Roads viewing party when?
Straight had to move to Charleston out of rva 2 weeks ago he better stop here too
Live in ginny my whole life
I love fish based dishes. This is a great episode. I learnt about a variety of fish and the storytelling was interesting. Well done!
Chef Kent contradicting statement about respecting the life that you cook then saying to throw it in the trash can if its not good enough reminds me of sheldon johnson in Joe rogans Podcast lmao, and that age like fine milk
3:05 made me laugh so hard. So stupid but so freaking funny. Amazing edit.
I've been fishing for 36 yrs, born and raised on the space coast of Florida. Never heard of a pomfrit but the meat looks like pompano which is amazing, almost chicken texture.
lol, the greek owner looked like someone straight outta Kitchen Nightmares
love you bring fish to the chef and then eating with that chef! so incredible! love the show sunny good job more of this
Whats up with the throw away cutlery in the U.S? As a European I dont get it
As an American, neither do I. Fortunately it's not everywhere here .
I was just in Scotland and most of the cutlery was throw away. Tbf it was made from wood, but still.
Might be a new York thing. Seafood places in Texas have silverware.
The michelin chef actually gave sonny a spork lol
Great video. I'm never disappointed with a BEFRS video! The pom frit fish, if thats correct spelling?, looked amazing and tasty.
"Is this seaweed?" chefs response "It is Nori"..... so seaweed, lol.
I live a few blocks away from Astoria Seafood and always eat there. Fish, shrimp, and scallops are all YUMMY!!
The Dad in the fish store/restaurant ASTORIA is what made that oart of the video. He was all 2 happy to be apart of this video and be there, just to say THATS AH GOOD FISH.
Can’t wait for you to get crabs - great series so far. Should be called Best Ever Food Review Host - I love your honest and heartfelt reviews!
Many years ago I went to Hunts Point to visit the Fulton Fish Market and when I got there, it was closed. I didn't know it wasn't opened during the day and that it's only open from 1 AM to 7 AM. It's on my bucket list to go back someday.
waking up to a sunny vid is always a good feeling
Astoria sea food is an absolute gem
Both the Greek and the SAGA place look great. It’s nice to see how both chefs and even the fishmongers really have a deep respect and appreciation for different world cultures and that comes across in various ways
Another great video! *Yes I can comment this beforehand watching because every video are fire*
Loving this series! Too bad you didn't do the whole North American East Coast and go right up into Canada - some fantastic seafood happening up here!
A lot of the fish in that market is from Canada.
Amazing! You never let us down, Sonny!
This is not just a food & travel channel ....This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old woman. 🥰🥰🥰
wrr
Hahahaha!
that statement at 17: 40 was sooooo Hannibal coded its crazy😃
i love astoria seafood....some of the best octopus.
"I'd eat that." "You're going to." I love it.
wrgg
1:50 Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo was relocated in 2018 about 3 km to the SE and is now called Toyosu Fish Market.
Astoria Seafood every single day over $300 "Kento" box
I love how sonny isn’t intimidated by such high class dining. He is always himself but he always asks such good questions and carries himself so well. And then I the same day he can get a subway for lunch like a regular person.
I wonder how much Yeti paid for that product placement
Loved that chef interview. I can dig it.
Sonny! We love Cook Unity and have our weekly orders coming for over 6 months now!!
10:16 I like how the father complementing his son!
Great show. Albeit, that should be called a “kenseki box” rather than a kentobox. It deserves a level of glory!
Can’t wait for VA… home state… wish I knew y’all were in town, would have gave a great foodie tour… as always love the show. Keep up the great work guys
Yes.... this chef guy gets it.... I felt it in my soul when he said when I die I want them to cure my leg..... I'm not that crazy afterall ❤
I was surprised to see that Chef Kent wasn't one of those pretentious, super serious jerks that often inhabit that kind of position.
Except for the "ramen." The 2 mung bean noodles tied in a knot were a bit much for me.
He says he respects life/food then talks about throwing food in the trash if it's not cooked to his 2-Michelin star standards. 17:32 "You f'd up, now you can throw it away." 🤡He's a pretentious hypocrite
I've been to the Fulton Market, but only as a truck driver picking up fish to be brought to another location. I didn't get to see all what you showed on the show but I did get to see enough. Thanks for the share!😊
Got to love fresh fish and seafood. Love the stories behind the dishes.
You know why I like this show?
Besides the cinematography and cultural insight is the host. Self proclaimed not an expert. Humble beginning, embarassing at times, but real. Like he walks into a cold environment and says 'i feel like im gonna die'. The literal honesty. Those jeans are way too tight tho ha
Astoria Seafood? Nice choice. Astoria Seafood is well known and damn good though I also like going to the Egyptian Abuqir nearby as well.
I've heard great things about Saga also. Only been to Crown Shy several floors lower.
Watching this while eating a can of smoked baby oysters.
Characters like John are such a dying breed. A true British hero!
That Kento 7 course box is only $30? Not bad, I have to go sometime.
16:02
Saw the bushel baskets in the background and felt home
Sunny brings us an amazing video with the quality and production of a bon a petit. Yay for youtube.
Cold, fresh & delicious...I love it
Love meditaranean food but the Greeks in my town in south jersey are one family that owns the 5-6 diners/greek restaurants which means it’s literally 5-6 of the same tasting places…
This was one of your best---and you make some good ones.
YESSSSSSSSS… thanks guys. Time to watch it 10 times in a row now
You need to try the Greek way of cooking octopus 👍
Cheers from Australia 😀
You wanna try good Kina ( sea urchin ) come to Aotearoa ( New Zealand ) I recommend the south island Kina during and straight after winter 👌🏽
Nice yeti ad
I love Chef Kent , I think he has awesome personality and thoughts about the food, really impressive PogU
2:40 where do I look,? I've seen straighter eyes on flatfish.
The Minnesota state fair is auctioning off some memorabilia online today sonny!
Did you mean 2nd to Toyosu fish market instead of Tsukiji since the latter has closed and shifted over?
Seafood is very rare and expensive in my country. Especially Salmon. Crazy to think Salmon is decent there and so pricey here.
Awww, I love the Astoria fish market giy
I like the greek food restaurant. it has a cool concept
Fantastic video...Thank you
Thanks for the into to Saga, I'll be going on my next trip.
Sushi makes me hungry actually watch this video 🤤👍
Love the green bar .
Thanks great vid. I wouldn’t expect escolar on a $200+ Michelin menu tho. Surprise!
The box falling off the forklift 😅😂
Another great video! Food looks so good!😊
Don't know where u went but plenty of amazing creamy non-metallic uni in Japan lol
Them dudes at the Greek shop are what I imagine when I think or New Yorkers
I saw that the best fried fish and fish and chips places near the harbors in Sydney are Greek.
How the kucf you go from Maine to New York and not stop in one of the oldest cities in the country New Bedford, Massachusetts. We have way big fish markets and boats and fresh fish!
Showed 2 different yeti coolers that just happened to be the same color
Theres always that one girl everyone checksout working at walmart
If i had to choose, i would go with the Greek place. Food was simple and looked delicious
Sonny, recommend doing some videos or special on a train/railway travel.
Wow idk how this came into my algorithm! But Astoria Seafood one of the very best here in NYC ! Use to eat here daily ! They would prepare my lobster and squid fresh for lunch
Does anybody know the lovely song being used towards the end of this clip? Thanks
Didn't even skip the promo in the beginning 1:17
