Visited Milan for the first time last year. When you see the Duomo for the first time, it’s a magical experience. Simply unbelievable beauty. Glad you took the tour around inside. Wish I knew about the seafood restaurant before I went, I’m an Uni junkie
Thank you for liking my hometown and the food, people don’t realize how many different dishes you can find, you literally drive 30min and the specialty changes. Enjoy your stay in Italy
Mike, I remember back when you once described uni as tasting like the ocean threw up in your mouth, and now watching you enjoy it with some awesome pasta and crab.. it’s been a fun journey along with you through your videos! Thanks for another great one! 😄
This is great, but whoever told you saffron doesn't have flavor was wrong lol. Find some and put one of the pieces in your mouth. The flavor is very strong, and so is the pigment (hence why it turns everything yellow), so most recipes will only use a super small amount.
One of my absolute favourite hot sauces has saffron as an ingredient, it's the last one listed, and it shines through and through! You don't need a lot! It's sooo flavourful!
That crab claw also looks just like Red Rock Crab (Cancer productus). Very tasty. The top shell isn't quite the same though, because Red Rocks have more pronounced points along the side of the carapace.
That crab is a stone crab - here in Brazil theres a similar species and it is delicious too The panzeratta (sp?) looks a lot like Brazilian "pastel", the dough here is thinner and very crunchy and the fillings are legion, savory and sweet
7 years in the making... Mikey willingly (well.... Ish) ate broccoli and DID NOT HATE IT!!!! Remember when he wouldn't eat raw stuff? Are... Are we seeing an evolution??
Can't believe they ruined the view of that beautiful church with that giant tv. What were they thinking! Food looks really good, if course. Italy looks like such a great place to visit.
Wish I had known you were going to Milano, my cousin has lived there 66 years and is a world traveler. She could have put you on some awesome eateries and other stuff. She goes to NYC often, maybe you could have given her some tips. Her name is Cheserina which means treasured one. Stay cool Mikey
I’m sure the osso buco is tasty but I’m sorry to say you have been shortchanged by that restaurant. They gave you the end cut (instead of the proper Center cut) with half the meat around the bone, and also half the size of bone marrow compared to what is normally served. It is also way too thin. I’ve eaten many osso buco in restaurants (I live in Europe) and never seen an end cut like this being served at a proper restaurant. Also, saffron DOES have a strong and unique flavour.
It is nearly 11 pm in WV right now and I'm enraged there's no place nearby that I can get crab pasta like that. This is the first time Mike's vlog has upset me.
When I vacationed in Italy, I found the sauce was the best part of the pizza. It was light, slightly sweet, and not overpowering like sauces in America can be.
Try Croatian-style pizza. flaky philo-type layered crust, spinach instead of tomatoes, sour cream instead of cheese sauce, roast cucumbers and fresh sausage as common toppings, and the tomato sauce is served on the side, so you can either pour it on the pizza, dip the pizza in it, or eat it like a soup with a spoon.
Hey Mike n Christine.... Hope the day is going well.. It's the 🦀 soup for me. Yum-my!!! I love seafood periodt. So that 🦀 soup is calling my name... Those hot crussiant thingies too.... ❤️🐞
Hello Mike! I would love it if you can try Hmong food! Our culture is very under respresented and I a feature would be out of this world! I've been a long time fan, and I think I've seen every single one of your videos. But I have yet to see you try Hmong food! You can always find a small deli in Madison and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Or there is a bunch of places in Minnesota if you happen to stop by! Keep up the great work!!!
Best Ever Food Review Show did an episode about the Hmong community in Minnesota, and how they kept their traditions and foods alive despite the climate difference
considering the amount of videos out there on hmong food(which isnt very different from a lot of south east asian food), and considering that the global population is only about 4 - 5 million, id say you are OVER represented. If you want more video reviews on hmong food, go on and do them. nobody is stopping you.
Is this the same man who used to not like Uni so much? Not his fav? Just surprised how many times I’ve seen Mike eat it lately. My Abe it depends on where it comes from? I don’t know ? I’ve never had it before
Not have crabs in years! Not since mum's passing.......I do miss it at times. I remember our Chinese/Hong Kong/Hakka crab chow mein etc. Rarely eat out at Chinese restaurants but mostly my parents or my older siblings who cooks them at home with ginger and spring onions....it's so yummy scrumptious. I love to try crab pasta it look delicious.
The first pasta dish looked devine!! Love mushrooms and truffles. Having it myself on Saturday and I can't wait!!!
Yup!
there´s nothing like fresh Pasta, i hate low carb diet but a gals gotta do what a gals gotta do *sighs*
You know it is the best when Mike seems surprised and laughs a little.
He had the mona lisa dish. No wonder.

I am happy that I get to see your experiences. They are wonderful! Thank you and yours!!!
Mike I've never left you a message before but I've watched your vlogs for years now and I've never seen a bad
one thank you so much for doing these Ed
He probably edits the bad ones out
Thank you for liking my hometown and the food, people don’t realize how many different dishes you can find, you literally drive 30min and the specialty changes.
Enjoy your stay in Italy
Love to see your notifications pop up makes my whole day better
Since when are not a fan of congee? I learned about it from your videos and you used to say you loved it.
when are you posting the vlogs filmed in Portugal?
Mike, I remember back when you once described uni as tasting like the ocean threw up in your mouth, and now watching you enjoy it with some awesome pasta and crab.. it’s been a fun journey along with you through your videos! Thanks for another great one! 😄
Love the diversity of food!
Amazing sight of the place and that crab is really well plate and presented. Thanks Mike for another mouth watering content.
It’s nice to Milan again in your videos. I was there way back in 2015.
So I had my first experience with bone marrow kind of recently and I can say I agree with Mike on that; bone marrow is delicious.
I've never heard of a panzeratti (sp?), but boy, did those look good. That osso buco looked mighty nice, too. Living the dream!
They're basically a folded over pizza (keeping it laymens terms)
So delish, especially if you have a few great dipping sauces!
Spelling is "panzerotti" (singular is panzerotto)
If Mikey needs 🍞 for the dishes juice, you know that it is an amazing dish & a must try.
Thank you so much for the years of incredible content :)
This is great, but whoever told you saffron doesn't have flavor was wrong lol. Find some and put one of the pieces in your mouth. The flavor is very strong, and so is the pigment (hence why it turns everything yellow), so most recipes will only use a super small amount.
He tasted a bunch of it in the Middle East a few videos ago and again in this one here.

Thanks for the Italian vlogs I really want to go so in taking all the notes from this video cause I like your reviews for years now.
(#2) Osso Buco is so amazing! I miss my mother's Osso Buco!!! Everything in Italy tastes amazing!!!
That crab is a stone crab - here in Brazil theres a similar species and it is delicious too
The panzeratta (sp?) looks a lot like Brazilian "pastel", the dough here is thinner and very crunchy and the fillings are legion, savory and sweet
Panzerotto 😉
I definitely live vicariously through you!
yup
7 years in the making... Mikey willingly (well.... Ish) ate broccoli and DID NOT HATE IT!!!! Remember when he wouldn't eat raw stuff? Are... Are we seeing an evolution??
I was thinking that myself. Is this the same Mike??
Sshhhaa shhreee shhhrruuuuu sshhhrreeeeeerr is back 🤣
You should make a shirt that says "deelishshish"
That church looks amazing, thank you showing it!!
Soooooo excited to watch!
Yo Mike! Love the vids!
My son lives in Milan we’ve not been out there yet but I’m thinking I’m gonna go now , nothing like food for inspiration thanks Mike 🤣
Everything looked amazing great video!!
I get so excited with new videos!
I adore your content! So wholesome and relaxing💕
Hope you're personally doing well Mike. Thank you for being apart of my life for what feels like, 5 years or so now? Lol keep it up brutha.
Upload from Mike. My night is COMPLETE!!!
That pizza was an offence for all Italians everywhere 🍕👀
Can't believe they ruined the view of that beautiful church with that giant tv. What were they thinking!
Food looks really good, if course. Italy looks like such a great place to visit.
Agreed
La tv gigante serve a coprire i lavori di restauro. Quando i lavori saranno terminati verrà rimossa
Do you finish everything you get? Seems like alot of food in one day. What do you do if you dont finish your food?
Italy is my favorite! Don’t think I ever had anything bad to eat there.
I was just watching another one of your videos. :)
That spicy crab pasta looked great! Hoping that you did make it Bologna - I went there recently and loved it and would love to see where you went;

Omg food looks good and Im a big fan. I watched you when i was a little kid
Hi Mike,.. that first dish.. isn't that Focaccia?

Finally made it to the 500 and under comment club😄 I love the ring on your finger you are complete!
I'm sorry but those pizzas looked like something you'd get from the gas station.
😂
I know right! The congealed cheese!
They really did.
Nop that pizza Is something else my guy.. 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
Haven't had real crab in over 30 years because I'm allergic but I wanna try it again...especially the inside of the body 😋😋😋 -Shang
I thought you loved congee?
This is so crazy to me. I don’t even like seafood but I love to watch your food reviews!
It helps when you don't have to cook it or break it open. lol
Желаю вам приятного аппетита! Пусть приятный вкус вдохновит вас, чтобы ваша любимая еда приносила удовольствие и наслаждение...
When you clean the sauce with bread at the end of the meal, they call it "Fare la scarpetta" in Italy.
Spicy crab 🦀 yum 🤤
Mmmm mouth watering 😋 😍
Will be in Milan very soon taking notes Mikey
Love Milan ! I was there 2 weeks ago! Just be careful with the tourists 🪤 lol
Cheers from San Diego California
Love your videos Mike!

Enraged there's no place nearby to get crabs! 🦀 Haha! Love it 😆
I feel that. I live in rural Colorado.
Daaangg the way Mike Chen enjoys Spicy crab and Italian food tour is making my full belly hungry
During high school lunchtime in Camden, NJ I used to buy panzerotti from a great food truck. One of the best parts of HS. To have one in Italy. Wow!
Man you were lucky
Good thing jersey has way better pizza than that first clip
OMG! he likes a dish with broccoli. it must be REALLY GOOD
Wow that building was beautiful
When I vacationed in Italy, I found the sauce was the best part of the pizza. It was light, slightly sweet, and not overpowering like sauces in America can be.
America loves the sugar.

@@-jank-willson That's crazy.
Americans will Americans any fantastic dish more unhealthy and ruin it somehow. Like everything else

The trick to getting the marrow out from osso bucco, is to poke it with your finger 😂
In Milan there is a lots of fish restourant because the main fish market is in Milan
Tiniest uni I’ve ever seen… the pastas though looks really yummy 🤤
Mikey is the Russian judge of pizza 😂 💜
I WISH KRISTINE WOULD TALK & GIVE OPINION IN THESE VLOGES :) :( LOVE SEEING HER & LISTENING TO HER ENJOY OR NOT ENJOY HER FOOD!
I never get here this early lol. Fun
Do you ever give Christine the first bite? Or serve her before you start to eat?!? Lol
Chinese tradition is men eat first.
@@CosmicGoku529 😒
@@CosmicGoku529 Mikey doesn't look traditional lol
@@lilkitten545 Doesn't matter what he looks like. A that matters is how he was raised.
Hi Mike! Can you please share the places?
I'm happy to see you go to different country. Yet i'm at my home, me & my wife got Covid. I'm eating mung bean soup while watch your show. 😂😂🤣
Hope you get better
The video was amazing 🤗

Yes! I know nothing about Hmong food, it would be great to see Mikey trying it!!!
@@-jank-willson I get it but this is Mikey’s channel. Not everyone follows the same content creator. Just saying.

Watching you eat Italian food makes me miss sicilian food
ossobuco will remind you of Bulalo in the Phil. ☺️❤️
thats so good.
Post another food review from there. Was supposed to go a few years back and I never did:((
You videos are amazing 😊🇺🇸
that hot pocket looks so good!
If you go back to Vegas check out the lunch wagon Antidote. Hawaiian fusion
Damn I'm hungry now!!😩
Is this the same man who used to not like Uni so much? Not his fav? Just surprised how many times I’ve seen Mike eat it lately. My Abe it depends on where it comes from? I don’t know ? I’ve never had it before
Ha! he used to call it the ocean's snot! Now look at him!
Lol you're so weird sometimes. Saving uni to put it on the pasta? Lol. LOVE all your content, keep it going man!!! 👍 ❤️ 😍
Saffron has lots of flavour and can be overpowering if you use too much 😊
I get so tickled when you growl over how good something tastes!! 😂
You should seriously check out Louisville, KY. Take a look at Ramen House and Game!
Mike great vlog but I can’t believe u never had panzeroto 🤔
Love your vids Mikey..
every city in italy is a food city
Hey Mikey! Just curious if Christine likes spicy food too. 🤔
I was very surprised when you said saffron does not have much flavour considering the price and prestige of it.
Hi Mike! 👏🏽
This man said get some pizza as a snack so casually 😂
Not have crabs in years! Not since mum's passing.......I do miss it at times. I remember our Chinese/Hong Kong/Hakka crab chow mein etc. Rarely eat out at Chinese restaurants but mostly my parents or my older siblings who cooks them at home with ginger and spring onions....it's so yummy scrumptious.

Place locations missing from the description. Fix, please!
Vlogging and eating a crab is a talent
It sure is
Lol what? Risotto compared to congee...absolutely not 🤣
what ever happened to your restaurant ?
I could tell by the canned mushrooms, that first slice was going to suck...
What was the name of the first restaurant?
What's the name of the crab pasta place?
