Awesome video, Josh. Really happy to see you two together, man!! Glad you got to meet up
Thanks, Kevin! As I've told you before, I appreciate you helping to initiate the connection. :)
Love the Food Ranger. Thanks for the interview! I was waiting for you to say "So check it out, I'm with Trevor James..."
Haha! I almost did that. I also considered telling Trevor that his girlfriend Tingting was "tai piao liang!" :)
Trevor is such a nice and a positive person. God bless him!
hahah the guy on the left, 1:17 , he was so focus on you guys , he almost fell from his chair, haha.
great interview!
Ha! I never even noticed that until you pointed it out ;)
I have seen 3 times this video and didn't found that man you mentioned 😔💔
With his friendly approaches, nobody can hate Trevor.
Hi there! I'm really happy there's a youtuber who is really showing and introducing my hometown!! I'm a student from Urumqi, I'm studying in France now, It's just really surprising to see that finally some good and nice images and introductions of my hometown.. I want to make some videos like this too,I will come back this summer, If you have time and want to know something about the life style and the traditions of the mongolian people who live in Xinjiang, maybe we can do some videos about it !! I don't know if you are avaliable or not though...
I'm really excited about going home already, I hope that I can do some helps to better introducing my province!!
That's great, Leon! I hope we get to cross paths at some point.
Travel Xinjiang: Far West China . So add me on Facebook it's Léon He or send me an email at LeonHolt@163.com!😊
What a great walking interview with Trevor James! We really appreciate your videos! Eat on.
Thanks so much, Sally!
You live in Xinjiang for ten years? I'm living in Xinjiang too, and I was born in Xinjiang . I'm so happy that you bring Xinjiang to TH-cam!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy it ;)
Finally, TingTing do not need to hold the camera.LOL
+Dong Tianyu Haha! She offered, but I told her that just wouldn't be fair. If I'm going to interview "The Food Ranger", she needs to be included in that. :)
Travel Xinjiang: Far West China so who recorded this?
@@FarWestChina hail yeauh meng good shitsernozzle
I clicked so fast. Love Trevor James. So sweet and humble. Great interview!
+Mrs. Comtois Ha! Thanks so much for watching Mrs. Comtois!
Great to host Trevor and great to highlight the art of food of Uyghors and by the way that sheep head is so delicious and popular in the entire region of Middle East . Also the Pilaf with lamb is very popular in Saudi Arabia and considered one of the top dishes in my country. Thanks Josh again for sharing
Thank you for watching!
Trevor just took over the last part of the video, this guys charisma is out of this world
There's a reason his channel is growing like crazy!
Trevor James and Ting Ting are awesome!
This was THE content that I was looking for. I trying to watch an interview with The Food Ranger for quite some time now. I wish you had asked about his background. How he ended up traveling the world tasting street-food, how he learned to speak Chinese, what his family and friends think about his lifestyle, how he met the camera-girl etc.
But it was a good interview.
Josh, fantastic video with Trevor. Made me miss Xinjiang even more. Glad you are back making your travel videos after a long absence. I love Trevor's style! I will subscribe to his travels and food adventures. I look forward to seeing your next adventure. Take care, Bill
He's right - chatting to street food vendors is a great way to get to know local people in your destination and see their passions. I couldn't handle those lamb heads! China is a country I'm yet to explore, but one day!
It's a fascinating country, that's for sure!
love you both channels
Thanks so much, Bill. I hope you continue to enjoy all the content we both produce for you. :)
This is awesome! I live in China too (Shanghai) but I've never been to Xinjiang. It's fascinating how different Chinese regions are. I loved hearing about the Food Rangers worst food experiences, I love when people are brave enough to try even the disgusting sounding foods :D Even though you said it sucked, I'd love to try lamb brain! I'm already subscribed to your channel and I'll make sure to subscribe to The Food Ranger too :)
You can take the lamb brain...I'll be happy to stay away!!!
I so love that his focus is on the people.
+Roamancing Travel Agreed. He does a good job of chatting up the people wherever he goes. It's a gift, really.
Great interview and loving this type of content. Keep those interviews and awesome content flowing.
Thanks! Appreciate the comment.
I'm so happy for this collaboration I love both channels.
Thanks so much! :)

Josh, I strumbled to your video, clicked like and subscribed, you are doing good job and cheer. I hope to meet you in Xinjiang. it is on my list.
Thanks, Jim! Glad that you enjoyed it :)
Great interview. Seems like a down to earth guy.
Thanks! He really is. Great guy.
👽Trevor, 2 questions..
1. Do you think that if you didnt have such an amazing command of Chinese you would struggle to communicate?
2. You missed out Pakistan during your tour! Why?
pakistan is dangerous
Pakistan is the ultimate visit
Just added him. Love his videos, the food and the places he travels. I just wish he'd stop saying wow, giving the thumbs up, and moaning every time he takes a bite of food.
Woohooo Trevor James!!!
Ha! Hope you enjoyed the interview ;)
Sure did. ^_^
great interview with great people...
+Gowtham Gow Thanks!
Great interview!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Glad you really enjoy the foods in China.
I know we both do!
we wait you in indonesia food rangger....
Xin Jiang literally means New Territory. Unlike the way Americans did to local natives, Chinese have chosen a positive but time-costly and high-risky way of assimilation. The procedure is on the way and still can not assure its success.
Xin Jiang celebrities are getting more popular in China. I like Jiang Xin and Gülnezer Bextiyar
love you both chanel.. I am from Singapore..
+Izah Putri Thank you, Izah!
Great video love it
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
I love so much what he said! friendliness of the people and food and people behind it - I believe is all about us - people- and there is so important not only to talk about things but people who created it! nice video/interview but some food - I could never eat it! ;)
I agree...I think that's why I'm not a food blogger ;)
That ice cream looks soooooo good.
+Ed Tseng It is!!! You need to come taste it for yourself.
yo estare orgulloso de que viajen a mi MEXICO lindo seran vienvenidos muchachos
The first video I've seen with 0 dislikes.
Ha! There are plenty more, but I'm glad that people enjoy this interview ;)
Lot of food here in Pakistan waiting for food ranger. come here and try.
I'm sure he would love to visit sometime!
I've never heard of Trevor James. I'm glad to be introduced to new faces. That brain sounded awful! hahaha
Sounded awful...it LOOKED awful!! :)
A new subscriber here. your video looks so professional!!
Thank you, Farhani! I hope you enjoy the rest of the FarWestChina videos :)
I like both you two, but I didn't know you guys met up before XD! 非常好~
Thanks! Trevor's a great guy.
wow I been meaning to ask u to come to Mexico I'm from Baja California Mexicali Mexican food i think is somewhat similar to Chinese I encourage u to try tripas whether its in tacos or menudo which is s delicious trip soup enjoy our street foods as well I wait to see how ur video comes out from the biggest food ranger fan good luck
Hi Trevor James, I watched your channel. The one on guangzhou. Anything on guangdong province that you can share? Your video is great. 😃😌
Nice interview.
+Steve Walton Thanks, Steve!
That iced cream seems to taste pretty good.
Oh yes, it did!
I have to ask. What happened to going to Sichuan cooking school?
I asked that as well! He said it didn't go as he thought and it took away from the time he needed to do more videos, so he stopped.
Tingting or Chuchu, which one to cheer, that is the question.
And after seeing this episode, I'm leaning towards Tingting.
Cheer for what??
nice
更新啦😄
That's pretty cool that you got to meet the Food Ranger. bull penis soup? pass! lamb head? never heard of that ice cream before. would like to try that tho.
It's good stuff! (the ice cream, not the bull penis)
I would like to see you try some cat congee.
Trevor looks so humble, such a cool guy!This interview was great!Funny to hear his story about the unseasoned lamb head. Hahaha I wouldn't have the boiled penis either.
He was such a down-to-earth guy that I enjoyed hanging out with for the afternoon! A true pleasure - the type of person that you WANT to be successful, you know?
Interview serpentza or the adv China channel if u don't know him
Nah, I don't have much respect for those guys. Very sensational/click-baity just for the sake of views and making a living.
厉害啊 ！
看这个小伙儿的视频很久了😀
Haha! I wouldn't have liked the boiled penis or lamb head either! I laughed out loud when she said she eats the good food! I like his idea of sharing the foods with viewers and how nice people can be. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
omg an exclusive interview with Trevor James!!! how did you beat out all the stiff competition from the likes of New York Times and CNN to land this once in a lifetime scoop?!
Oh give me a break :) I'd say with almost a million subscribers on TH-cam that he's fast becoming one of the top TH-cam travel food bloggers on the internet. He's a great guy and I was happy to hang out with him.
untwerf : Those people couldn't do a decent interview in the reality of Xinjiang, they wouldn't have a clue. Kudos to you both for great content. I love XinJiang, it will always be in my heart and calling me back.
untwerf like you don't have enough troubles in Trumpsville,you have to start picking on vloggers.,is everyone there a bully?

stfu you butthurt. james is by far one of the best.
THUMB-UP
Check it out!
Ok I made a comment on Facebook about food ranger I thought it was a dog they were cooking I apologise if I was wrong
Can you can said to james that i can help when he come to México
What is Ting's nationality?
Han Chinese, I believe.
@@FarWestChina thank you :)
WOW! You are so tall! How tall are you?
+Damian Rhea I am 1.88 meters and Trevor was just a bit shorter than me.
Thanks!
see u in borneo !! go to kk street food :D
मजेदारररर 🤓
Chu Chu
Hong Ly My girlfriend
Howla
India is awesome but u should visit Lahore Pakistan . Food will blow u away and the hospitality
i wish that you would've asked him how many times did he get food poisoning and where 😅
Ha! Yes, that would have been a good question to ask. I think he has a pretty strong stomach, though ;)
Nigga we made it
I didn't know her girl friend was that short.
You should have asked him what happened with his plan to go to cooking school. As far as I can tell it looks like he has dropped out.
Yea, he didn't pursue that. Once the TH-cam channel took off, he didn't need to continue that.
Probably not a great decision. Fame is fleeting and an education is not.
why you not coming to Pakistan mm
I'm sure he will someday... ;)
mxicooooooooo
I came here for knowing his lifestyle and he is married or not and you didn't asked him that? 😐
:)
thai how la
“Trevor and ting” wtf are you Jamaican or something? 😬
Why, because of their names?
我想去新疆
你为什么还没来？:)
0:49 天呐！！原来你这么高大
哈哈哈😄
