16:33 This is soo true. When I was in Dubai and I had a bad day at work, I would eat Kunafeh for dinner to cheer me up. 3 portions of Kunafeh and a side of suliemani (black tea). Instantly day gets better.
Someone get Mikey a folded Table so he can put it in his car and eat outside. Some foldable chair and table would be great if he just sets up near his car lol. This man is struggling to find a place to sit down and eat.
Why is he driving a car? There are really small motor homes, or pull campers that don't take up a lot of space. If your goal is to stop and eat. There are fit in your bed of a truck tiny camper. Can rewarm your food too.
OMG I'm from New Haven and today my brother and I were talking about how much we miss the pizza and then you post this. I live I Boston now and he is in CA. No comparison
Great piece Mike! Yours are always great to watch no exception. I always take your recommendations to heart whenever I plan a trip in or outside the US but this one hits a soft spot in my heart. Many people dont know how good is seafood in Egypt and it was amazing to see you experiencing a glimpse of that in the heart of nyc. Thanks and stay safe!
I’ve lived near one of the Frank Pepe locations for a few years now. The white clam pizza is the bomb. It’s something you didn’t think would work but it does.
Frank Pepe invented the white clam pizza (I read he was allergic to tomatoes)! My folks were born in New Haven. Pepe's (and Sally's, Modern, etc) has been part of my life since forever!
Egyptian music was playing behind u when u ate at that bbq stand , also that seafood place is also Egyptian, order the tahini next time , always a perfect match to seafood 👌🏻
Mikey I love your content I especially loved your Philadelphia Chinatown and cheesesteak vid. Next time you come back to philly I gotta take you to my favorite cheesesteak spots. You'll love it
First burger came from Germany. The city Hamburg invented it. That's why in Germany the name for a burger is "Hamburger". From Hamburg some traveler brought it to New Haven in the USA.
I grew up on Pepes and Sally’s. Being born and raised on the shoreline I was so excited to see you finally come to CT! Do you ever do fan meet ups? If you decide to come to CT again there are so many awesome places to visit.
7:28 omg that’s the strip where all the clubs are that I used to go too when I was younger.... that spot was it after the club closed to eat and across the street the pizza place was bomb too! 😋
Loved the sound of the clam pizza. The seafood place looked heaven. Lamb chops bellissimo and the pudding..... I wanna try and find out!!! Youre so lucky Mikey I am a tiny bit jealous
Welcome to Connecticut, Mike! Pepe's Pizza and Louie's Lunch are iconic, but neither one is the best example of New Haven pizza/hamburgers. Glad you tried them, though!
This is exactly right. I live a town over from New Haven. Pepe's and Louis are the most famous but I'd rather have a pizza from BAR or a burger from Prime 16.
@@exnoctem I didnt say anything about Sally's, but yes, BAR is better than Pepe's in my opinion, lived in CT for three decades...I just don't love Pepe's, never have.
My bff is from Milford right next to New Haven!! Tweeting her this video!! We both live in FL now 🍕 love these trips!! Can’t wait for Lancaster as I’m from Harrisburg ☺️
OMG I hope you are talking about Shady Maple in Lancaster! I've been going there for years when I would visit family and it is AMAZING. Have fun on your travels! xoxo
Oh Mikey you're getting closer and closer to Grandma's house you're going to the Amish section of Lancaster which is a wonderful area and they also have some of the best butter. So don't forget to take a pound of Amish butter home you won't regret it
I cannot get enough of your videos!! It doesn’t matter the type of video, I am always so excited to watch. And so bummed I’m not there eating alongside with you!
When i was kid, we fighted to play videogames each other in school, or fight by who has the moost cool new videogame. Now i just enjoy looking gameplay video, and the same goes to watch people eat happily... i can't have all that crazy food, but i'm fine with this
That bright orange dessert you had from the baklava place is called kanafeh. It's topped often with shredded bits of phyllo dough, has a cream cheese-like filling, and a rose water + simple syrup glaze. It is far and away the best dessert you can get in and around the Middle East.
Im so happy you enjoyed all of the food tbh yeah arabic grilled fish is so different from everywhere else a tip try the open seabass from an arabic fish restaurant they pack it with toppings and it taste amazing + The orange desert is called ke-na-feh with a K and yes no one can say no to it, even people on a diet can’t resist 😂😂❤️
Can't beleive after all the years of watching your channel your in my neck of the woods, and at places I actually go too. Love your channel man. Keep staying safe.
I am gonna sit with my cup of noodles at home and watch you discover every delicious bite in the world and Im gonna live through you and experience these amazing places with your eyes and for that iam truly grateful mikey
You missed two other amazing burger places in Connecticut, Shady Glenn and Ted's Restaurant. When you come back to Philly, Amish breakfast place inside Reading Terminal Market, Can't miss
Dear Mickey , you manage to take me on your trips, even if you're staying at home. Stay healthy and happy! When things get better, we'll be waiting for you to travel all around Greece!🇬🇷🌞
We' always welcome a healthy appetite! Also we love to prepare feasts for friends. We cook for more people than necessary. And no one leaves for home, without some treats!
love. love, love! I want that dessert! lookout NY, I am going to make that trip! wow! and the squid, fish, shrimp and lamb chops too! thanks Mike Chen! you rock!!!!!!!!!!!
It's 2 at night, I am pregnant and hungry af eating cottage cheese straight from the box watching Mike eating pizza. This is torture and I love it!
I’m pregnant too and I always binge watch his videos!!
i cant eat food without his videoes
Congrats !
It's 4:30 in the morning, and I know dinners in an hour, and a half so I am watching this drooling 😂
Haha great, hope you moms gave birth safely
If Mike sold a day trip to eat with him, I'd be all over it. The way he "ooh piece of candy'd" his way through that last segment had me tickled!
"got some weird looks from the flight attendants, if you know you know"
this one got me hahaha.
Right cuz that first episode was too freaky lol 😂 I had to stop watching it in front of my kids
LOL. NEVER watch Food Wars in public!
16:33 This is soo true. When I was in Dubai and I had a bad day at work, I would eat Kunafeh for dinner to cheer me up. 3 portions of Kunafeh and a side of suliemani (black tea). Instantly day gets better.
Mike ate his veggies! (Well, grilled, spicy, seasoned eggplant in a pita, but still! )
Mikey loves veggies, generally. As long as it's not broccoli!
Eggplant is a fruit.
@@ccaz7403 true, and technically so is squash, even novices forget about tomatoes, good catch!🍴
Hot oil is veggies too...
Hey Mike!
I watch your videos to boost my mood during the day

Great idea!!
Wait Mikey should've thought of that by now!!!! Dangit
@@johnpabelloren741 sometimes you just got to bring the thought to the front of the brain for it to do things.
Why is he driving a car? There are really small motor homes, or pull campers that don't take up a lot of space. If your goal is to stop and eat. There are fit in your bed of a truck tiny camper. Can rewarm your food too.
That’s a good idea they make really compact ones too.
Clams on a pizza sounds wonderful. I bet oysters would be great too. Yum
Ofcourse Mikey watches "Food Wars" He's a man of culture after all 😂
I could just imagine the look of the flight attendant😳😂😂
Time stamp please?
Does he watch JoJo?
Ooh can't wait for your Lancaster videos! I love going to the markets there.
OMG I'm from New Haven and today my brother and I were talking about how much we miss the pizza and then you post this. I live I Boston now and he is in CA. No comparison
You don't know that they opened a Frank Pepe's at the Arsenal mall in Watertown, Chestnut Hill mall & Burlington now?
New haven has the best pizza not just pepe's but there are a multitude good pizza spots

Mikey! You're making me hungrier every time. When will you do scary story time again? WE MISS IT!!
As a person born and raised in CT, the moment I saw the thumbnail I knew you were gonna be in New Haven!
"I want clam pizza now" words I never thought I would say
😂.....clam might be good.
Same
I want scallop pizza
Oh God! Ditto. I want the clam pizza, the octopus & the ekmek dessert. Now would be good.
I watched Mamamoo eat live octopus - I can’t unsee that.
I’ve lived near one of the Frank Pepe locations for a few years now. The white clam pizza is the bomb. It’s something you didn’t think would work but it does.

haha bring cheesesteak!
Love these day food trips, awesome series. Gives me ideas of how to escape the City.
Egyptian music was playing behind u when u ate at that bbq stand , also that seafood place is also Egyptian, order the tahini next time , always a perfect match to seafood 👌🏻
اهلا يا ابن النيل
I live right near Pepe’s ! I’m so glad you got to try it!
THE FOOD LOOKS SO DELICIOUS ESPECIALLY THE FISH WOW, THANKS FOR SHARING THIS EXCITING VIDEO, KEEP UP THE AWESOME JOB
I am so looking forward to your travels in the US. So many good places to eat and it helps our local neighborhood restaurants.
Love this channel!! When the guy asked if you were done with the plate and you said NO
So relatable. I’d eat all that goodness too
Great spots. Love the history and the food looks great. As always looks mouth wateringly good.
I see you Mikey. You can’t see an icicle and not break it off and throw it as if you’re throwing a spear at the olympics. Humanly impossible.
I honestly watched with the biggest smile on my face as Mikey just fell in love with the Kunefeh.... best dessert in the world!!!!

First burger came from Germany. The city Hamburg invented it. That's why in Germany the name for a burger is "Hamburger".

as with the Frankfurter in hot dogs.
First “fast food” hamburger in the USA.

What is wrong an why?
The seafood spot looks so lovely...Aargh! I enjoyed this like I was rolling with you in the passenger seat!
Nearly epic episode. Amazing food. Burger spot is a bucket list spot. Middle Eastern restaurant afterwards looks amazing.
I grew up on Pepes and Sally’s. Being born and raised on the shoreline I was so excited to see you finally come to CT! Do you ever do fan meet ups? If you decide to come to CT again there are so many awesome places to visit.
I live so close to New Haven, I go there all the time to get food, they have a really good ramen place called Mecha.
We should binge watch all of mikeys videos and drink a shot every time he mentions living off dumplings back in the day.
Or take a shot every time he says tremendous!!
That's so wonderful! What an adventure. I'm craving salmon pizza with all this seafood now. Thank you for sharing your food adventures.
I was going to sleep but this popped up... Ah I'm going to be dreaming of phenomenal food.. 💕
You are doing a service to humanity, sir! Thank you for bringing light and enthusiasm to life, and for making me laugh on the cusp of my darkest day.
Never thought in my life I would enjoy watching someone eat as much as I do watching this show🤣😂🥂🍻but soda, Mikey you're the best
I share my love for food through you Mikey! Ahhhhhh food is so amazing and brings people together!
These are my favorite videos. Mike just doing random stuff
To whomever cut that pizza like that;
May your oreos fall into your milk.
lol dude
Never gonna mess with ya
😂 brutal.
just how its cut they do it that way from when times were tough and the small slices were for the kids
May their toes always bump furnitures.
*FOREVER*
Food wars is freaking epic especially when the food is extra good the characters come to life if you know you know 😂😂😂👀😂😂😂
I love this series. I enjoy going to towns and cities in US just to eat their local food and exploring their landmarks/historic places.
Yay! A new Mikey video! I had Popeyes today and thought of you! Hope you’re having a great day! 😊
7:28 omg that’s the strip where all the clubs are that I used to go too when I was younger.... that spot was it after the club closed to eat and across the street the pizza place was bomb too! 😋
$10 for 50 dumplings equals 20 cents a dumpling. Asian food math 😂 (I'm Asian too and thought the same)
That's basic math. 10 for 50. 1 for 5. 20 cents for a piece.
@@Twofix think they are talking about how Asians measure how good things are by how much for how many.
Right, I 😂🤣 when he did the calculations
@@Twofix Exactly, it's not the math part that's impressive; it's the rationalizing a purchase immediately by per-unit cost.
@@watchdealer11 Or we are cheap or we try to find bargins. But that is pretty much everyone unless you are super wealthy and throwing money around.
I love seeing that house, just such a nice place, remote, calm. Need more house tours from you :C
This is the first time I eat something before Mikey, Louie Lunch, I was there a few years back. Awesome.

Yeah the pizza is awesome.
I grew up down there. Pizza like nowhere else!
Oh god, kunefe is one of my favourite desserts ever.... I’m so happy Mikey discovered it ☺️

My hot oil just came today and I’m excited to try them with my kimchi fried rice !!
This channel and simply dumpling somehow helps me do my college work...I can't focus without watching him now lol

What's the whole racist pizza place thing? I missed that.
Well it's definitely not Di Fara or Prince St so I wonder which pizza place he's referring to
