    The best part about this series with Sheldon is that he doesn't steal the show. The other series seem very focused on the presenter, but here the focus seems laser focused on the restaurants and their owners. Really great work.

    "If everyone marches together, we can accomplish incredible things"
    What an inspirational and humble chef.
    Awesome cinematography and truly beautiful to see such passion in not only telling a story but living.
    Kudos to the host as-well for such a pleasing segment!

    I must say you are one of the best host's on Eater, you bond so well with the chefs and often also with their family. It makes it amazing to watch, you can really understand where the chefs come from.
    It's a very beautiful thing to see, keep it up!

      Very true.. I think he's the only host who is a chef, which is likely why he connects better with people on eater videos than the other hosts.

    Its refreshing to see stories like this that inspire people and let them know that their story is out there waiting to be written. This dude is a genuine person with a big heart. That is a dying trait in todays selfish world. Im going to this restaurant just because of this video!

    I once ate some Cheetoh's at a picnic that were covered in black ants but I didn't look before I grabbed a handful and threw them in my mouth. Very peppery and spicy although I didn't care for the feeling of them crawling around in my mouth.

      I'm sure it does but I can't get past the psychological aspect of it. Just like the way I can't imagine eating brains.

      @TwistedD85 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ants and other insects are a huge food source for a lot of the world. If you get the chance you ought to at least give things a try, otherwise you might go through life missing your favorite food.

      @buttacookies 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Dave Harris the only time you say 'i dont wanna be rude' or 'i dont wanna say this' is when something sounds negative. you can tell by that whole awkward exchange. he even tried to cover up by making a another statement right away. he didnt have to say it the way he did. hence, needs better etiquette if hes gonna host.
