    When you first picked up the sandwich I said to myself that you will lose one of the chunks of chicken! LOL. The bakalava looks amazing. Not into sweets but I would have tried.

    A little piece of Astoria in Toronto! Souvlaki looked great. I always judge a greek place by their tzatziki, spanakopita and gyros. And you got baklava too - you must have been hungry lol !!

    Thanks for the Toronto food reviews, it gives me new ideas. Holy Chuck and Astoria are on my list right now. I still have to watch your other experiences. As an Etobicoke resident working downtown a day a week, I don't go North or East of the downtown core often but your videos inspire me to venture out in that direction!

    You're OK man. I Don't comment on your channel a lot but maybe I should. I like how you said you might try this Astoria restaurant "just because" and you came through. I really like anything to do with Greek, Italy, Korea, Mexican, Chinatowns and other walkable neighborhoods matter what city they are in. Keep it up Dog! You are killing it!

    I can't denigrate souvlaki, but for me, Greek restaurants are to be assesed by their Kalimari, my favorite dish, (though its possible thats just my memories of the ouzo and retsina.)🙂

    You said "Tastes just like my hometown, the Greek food I ate in Astoria, Queens" closed caption worded it as "my hometown like we all that hey there's a story of Queens." I thought that was Cool!!! Very Good Food Review - Your eyebrows say it all and You are soooo Cute!!! 👋🙂

    I enjoy your content for years,but do not understand why you title videos "New Yorker tries Greek food",etc...
    You say you moved to Miami,yet many video titles would not give that impression.
    If you live in Florida now,why not title videos "Floridian tries Greek food?"
    Florida's been through so much in recent weeks with the devastating impact of hurricane Ian. Some support for your new home would be great..

    • @HengMiao
      @HengMiao 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      He's a native New Yorker and has lived there majority of his life, so it makes sense for him to still identify himself as a New Yorker. He has covered Florida quite extensively for half a year and will continue to do so when he returns. Is that not enough of a support for the state?
