Your food channel is honestly the best food channel I've seen. So enthusiastic about everything. And I love how you always travel with your wife and son. What an amazing lifestyle you have.
I was a tyke, then a teen, then a young man...before the Pike Market was refurbished and upmarketed. It was decidedly low-rent then, second-hand clothes, great record bins, the Liberty Malt Co. where mysterious home brew supplies were sold. The lower levels were a labyrinth, so much fun to roam. Upstairs were the produce stands, flowers,the fish market, the eateries, some which still remain. It was not a tourist trap back then. Fun to see Mark here, I saw him eating in Istanbul.
Pike Place is legendary for not only providing the utmost of fresh fish but also for their highly recognized approach to business marketing. I had the fortunate experience of meeting with someone who was apart of a study of their practices. Her book was published but not as recognized as the text used in the more popular business books used in main stream today. Great lessons to be had on this video!
Ying is so awesome! I know it's not easy traveling with a child yet always supportive of Mark allowing him to do his thing! She's such a back bone and a great mom and a loving wife!
Mark I'm so happy you enjoyed your time at our beautiful market and you had some nice weather. For everyone talking about the prices, Pikes Place is a huge tourist destination, us locals visit as well but there are much better places to try out our local foods at a fraction of the costs. There are places where you can get fresh fish and chowder right off the docks where the fishermen eat. I'm assuming Mark went here for more of his audience benefit. He probably would have been much happier in the other places and enjoyed it just as much. But if your looking for fresh and cheap steer clear of the tourist trap areas.
Definitely, the moment he said Pikes Place I cringed a bit. Sure there are some nice places there but it is so over priced and there are much better places.
SilvaDreams agreed. Sometimes we even jaunt down to coast for the day to Depot Bay. They at least use locally sourced clams unlike the place Mark went to. I am sure if the tourists knew they flew their clams over from the East Coast they may not be as keen to eat it as it isn't really locally sourced, which is what they think they are paying for. Go to Oregon for good chowder, the places there are HUGE about using only local ingredients. Gracie's Sea Hag has some amazing chowder and it isn't 15.00 a bowl and you will get the stuff that is coming off the boats right across the street at the harbor.
@@smexyphysics Thank you!! My family and I are visiting Settle in a few weeks! Do you have any suggestions on a restaurant? for a family of four! Something the kid's can enjoy and us as well!
Renata loving life Oh gosh there are soo many cool and cheap of free things to do with kids in the Seattle area. If you like boats Lake Union has free boat rides on Sunday's, the Marine Science Center is really cool and that is free as well. You should go to the waterfront and hang out, lots of cool shops and things to do. I suggest you eat down there as well, Elliott's Osyter house is amazingly good, so is Ivar's acres of clams. Elliott's is more on the pricey side though. Ivar's is great for fish and chips and chowder. Not too many know about it but there is a chap and awesome Hawaiian place called marination, its over off 6th ave. just west of Harbor island. But f you want to travel outside of Seattle and take a jaunt down to P Town (Portland) you can catch a Saturday market, those are great outdoor food and fun. 25$ gets you all day parking near the Rose District which is the waterfront and China town is a few blocks over. best thing about P town is once you park everything is within walking distance and there are trolly's that go through town. Stop at Voodoo doughnuts, but do it early they run out fast. Best one to get there is called the "Old dirty bastard" lol
Mark, your camera holding arm must be super strong! I lived in Seattle for 30 years and your series has been delightful to watch. You ate your fair share of rich foods that day! My favorite piroshky is the minced beef and onions. The gyro Greek stall there is delish also. I’m going home for Thanksgiving and def visiting the market.
Mark you are an inspiration, your disposition plus willingness to do things your way is something to be marveled at, whenever I’m feeling down I just watch one of your videos and I feel better about this world, thank you
Pike Place Market is definitely a go-to place when visiting Seattle. We have something similar in Vancouver called Granville Island. Love all your videos Mark Wiens!
Hello Mark from Kent, WA. Glad to see You and the family enjoying Seattle and Pike Place Market. Enjoy all your videos, and seeing new places, foods and cultures. Keep up the great work. 👍🙏🏻😄
Hey Mike. This is Indrani from India. You are the best man. I visited Thailand after watching your videos. Your love for food inspired me. I will visit Thailand in December. Hope to meet you then if you are around. ❤❤❤
That's kinda like saying Greenland is ice and Iceland is green. Myths. We actually get less clouds and rain then almost every other state in the U.S. www.betweenwaters.com/etc/usrain.html True story....
Yellow Zapdos - Food & Travel GREETINGS FROM SEATTLE! Our state is known for the rain and it rains during fall and winter .coke down durning summer and hopefully you could se our beautiful city 🌃
NYC gets more rain per year than we do in Seattle. Ours is just "misty-er" with lingering HIGH-ALTITUDE grey clouds. It can be misty in Seattle but you can still see that "The Mountain (Mt. Rainier) is out." As for prices, $34/pound for fresh Alderwood-smoked salmon is reasonable. My brother lives in NYC and is shocked at our food prices. That's why he always brings a frozen roast beast in his carry-on when flying to Seattle, and has his carry-on packed with crab/salmon/smoked fish when he flies back.
I enjoy watching you. I’m so impressed with your work. Mostly, I enjoy how you interact as a family. Lovingly caring for each other and Micah. Inspirational. Thank you.
Crab eggs benedict looked just delicious 😋😋😋 as well as the clam chowder. I did not know that Seattle had so many great food options, markets, restaurants!
I really want to thank you for your amazing videos, my daughter is a very picky eater. She would literally eat one meal a day but after watching your videos she says she’s hungry and asks for food
That was an excellent food tour/review. We're headed there in a few months for the first time and now my plan is to try every one of those featured places.
It's always a pleasure to watch your adventures, Mark. I love your positive vibe and the way you travel with your wife and son he is going to be a beautiful boy who loves every culture ❤️
I liked the tomato on the grilled cheese, I even dip grilled cheese in tomato soup. Salmon dishes are my favorite to eat in Seattle, I eat the chowder during the colder months. Honestly, I've eaten heartier and tastier chowder in the North East USA. Very Touristy area, much better to visit during the week, many meals $7 to $15 per person which is very reasonable.
Well Mark you all loved that tour. Seattle a great seafood city. Love SALMON. Salmon Benedict looked awesome. Pike Market just has everything. The grilled cheese w/tomato and basil. The classic chowder bread bowl looked awesome!!! The salmon meal was my favorite smoked salmon over rice with salad and the bread. It's so big. But all the whole fish they had that you could take home freeze it of course have one out to grill, fry, or bake oh my.
I live in San Francisco and have been to Seattle. Pikes is a serious tourist trap. Everything there is ridiculous, and I’m use to SF prices. SF is pricey but $40 for two sourdough chowder bowls is nut job city crazy. Even tourist trap equivalent Fisherman’s Wharf here in SF doesn’t have 5he nerve or the balls to charge these prices. If you’re visiting Seattle, Pike’s is a cool place to walk around and window shop, but you’re better off spending money elsewhere. The whole neighborhood is a trap. The original Starbucks is cool for souvenirs as they have mugs that you can only buy at that location but everything else is the same as your local Starbucks. The bakery is nice and decently priced for such a touristy spot. Still expensive it not insultingly expensive. The rest of the shops along the blocks all pretty much sell the same things.smoked salmon in vacuum packages. Prices are outrageous. You’re better off going to Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods and just getting smoked salmon from them instead. Also, if you want great Asian food, you’re better off heading over to visit Vancouver instead. It’s not too far away from Seattle and the Chinese food there is amazing. It’s literally a mini Hong Kong. You’ll also get the advantage of the currency exchange rate. You’re money will go further in Vancouver over Seattle for sure.
Welcome to Seattle Mark! Great tour of the Market. Of course prices are higher there... a bunch of those spots are tourist stops. We are a pricy town generally speaking, but you can easily find amazing deals even in the market.
Literally, I would travel from Australia to Seattle to try that dish of Eggs Benedict! Sigh! No disrespect to the undoubtedly excellent coffee you were served, but the Eggs would have been the thing that would have got my morning going! I hope this restaurant opens a branch here! For me, Clam Chowder and Brownies are the USAs two greatest culinary achievements! I salute all Americans everywhere for being associated with the glory of those twin achievements!
@TravelerPat Eggs Benedict is common here also, but not with crab and this appeared to be cooked to an uncommonly high standard! Thank you for your response which is appreciated!
Mark. Another mouthwatering episode. Although it started quite expensive with the Eggs Benedict. Even with the lobster I didn't think it was going to be so expensive but the rest of the dishes in the video were more reasonable especially the espressos. Seattle is a cool city. Even cooler was the gum wall. Quite smart.
6:27 You may call me whatever you want, but I would travel all the way from asia to seattle just to get a cup of coffee from Sid. Such an awesome personality ❤️
Love seeing the PNW in your videos! I live about 2 1/2 hours South of Seattle. I think what people don't realize is how touristy Pike Place has become which is why they can get away with such high prices (especially anything with seafood). I would be really interested to see you in Portland, OR! Living vicariously through your adventures as always.
Mark, Pike Place is a lot of fun to see. The seafood is legendary. It all looked so good. That clam chowder looked like a work of art! Yes it's pricey there, but the fact is, these people pay a lot of money for their leases and rents, then their electric bills, then their employees, and that's all before buying the products that they make and sell there. Going to Pike Place is a destination, just like Disneyland. I think Lowel's restaurant you ate at is where they made the movie Sleepless In Seattle. They have a couple of stools at the bar counter that tell you Tom Hanks sat there. The original Starbucks is always packed. What you showed here was only the top part. There are 2 or 3 floors of shops below what you see here. There are people who have been here for years and years and years. That's where the history comes in. I'm surprised you didn't see all the flower vendors. Beautiful bouquets of flowers. It is really fun going there. And $25.00 for CRAB Benedict was about average price from all the other restaurants I've been to, who sell crab Bennie. I would imagine the regular Bennie was a lot less pricey. For all these people who have commented, if you want lots of crab and pay around $25.00, go to the Muckleshoot Casino in Auburn Washington. Every Friday and Saturday night, their buffet is full of at least 3 kinds of crab, sometimes lobster tails, shrimp, salmon, smoked salmon, a full meat counter with brisket, prime rib, Indian tacos. And a full veggie and salad bar. Plus a desert bar. All you can eat of it, for $25.00.
The best smoked salmon piece you can get in the PNW....other than when Gilbert Bodee was alive in Westport. It's a great treat to grab a 12 ounce belly piece and splurge! So glad you're in my back yard Mark! I ate my way through Singapore Hawker Centres, Malaka Nasi Lemak, KL, Penang, Koh Lipe, Koh Phi Phi, Bangkok, Siem Reap, Saigon, and half a dozen other towns in Vietnam in 2020 following your and Anthony Bourdain's suggestions.
Awww Mark, I'm so bummed you walked by (at least twice) Mee Sum Pastry in the Pike Place Market. They have been there for many, many decades (at least 30 years since I used to live/frequent), and they have the best BBQ Pork Hom Bows. Too, there's a great spot for gyros a few yards away, too. You have to go back, seriously! It's worth the trip, I promise!
Mark.....please make sure your food co-hosts are as enthused as you are. They take away from your quality. We love Joel and Mika!! Your wife has it all. You're lucky. :)
Totally agree. Have no clue who Pok Pok man was, nor do I have any desire to know. He was more interested in his phone. Not sure why he was even there. 🤔🤷♀️
I can't help but complain about the food prices. Smoked salmon $34lb? $25 breakfast? $37 for two clam chowder? $7 for a single grill cheese? $15 for grilled salmon? SEATTLE...poor people need NOT APPLY!
@ivansfocus; nope and not planning to...or ever. There are better city with better food...and price. Not that I'm being cheap, I'll pay good money for good quality food. Nothing special about any of those dishes.
Average rent for a 1 bedroom apartment in Seattle is $2k. Minimum wage is $15 + tips. It has consistently been the fastest growing city in the USA for nearly a decade. It isn't cheap by any stretch.
kaox44 - been eating at Lowell's for a couple of decades. Most breakfast plates (pancakes, eggs, french toast, etc) are $10 or less. They are large servings and usually more than I can eat. But you're right about the other places. They might be good, but I live here and wouldn't be caught dead paying that much for clam chowder or smoked salmon. They're tourist joints and overpriced.
Yeah talk about high prices... Campbell can chowder $1.97 a can...lol that make there's almost $18.00 a bowel redicoulous!!!; I know he had the bisq but still no wonder why the other couple split theres
Hello Mark, Ying, little guy Micah, and Jason! The foods look amazingly delicious! Wow! You guys are making way up the pacific coast of the North America!
Hi good morning Mark Ying and Micah I continue to enjoy you're videos tremendously keep up the good work you're both doing, great job. God bless everyone till the next video 👋 bye. 🍴🍝🍜🍖🍗🍤✈🌍
Mark! never miss your vids and have been viewing since you began. While I know the show is about your inter-action with the food and socializing with multi cultures I believe you could raise it up a notch if you were to include Ying & Micah more often in the videos. Keep making those great food vids.
It's hard to go wrong in Seattle, especially if you love seafood. Were you fortunate enough to visit Shio's for sushi? In my opinion it's one of the tops in Seattle. Simple, traditional, focusing on the delicious local seafood.
Another awesome video Mark, Ying, & Micah! Great food there in Seattle! Especially that Chowder! Looking forward to the next video bro'! More power and God bless from the Philippines!
The fishing boats featured in "Deadliest Catch" call Seattle home. They dock at Fisherman's Terminal at the north end of Elliott bay. Seattle gets first pick of EVERYTHING.
For everyone complaining about prices Seattle is insanely beautiful, a high tech and tourist mecca, and also located south of similarly expensive Vancouver BC..C'mon now.
Having lived in Seattle, WA for 21 years, happy you enjoyed your stay. Still, traveling there once a month, make me miss leaving in Seattle. Come visit Pasadena, CA someday. I'm glad you travel with your family and get to experience what you're doing. My husband is an oncologist who travels all over the world speaking engagements and I get to enjoy my travel with him as well and enjoy eating out and trying the local foods. 😊
I wonder if each day is actually that "amazing?" The orgasmic way in which Mark eats is becoming a caricature of itself. It was fun to watch for a while, but now that the novelty has worn off, a straight food review would be cool. Just my own opinion. I do enjoy the various locations.
Franklin MacGillacuddy Very rarely. I feel like a lot of it is to be PC in a vastly different culture.When he does say he doesn't like a particular food, he makes sure it doesn't offend a group. Just a observation.
Franklin MacGillacuddy Totally agree. I would never be that rude. But he's basically doing a food review, so I hold it to a different standard, and expect more honesty on the video (as opposed to being in person at the site).
What's also historically amazing is that pbs's own chef Jeff Smith lived next to this market. His show was broadcast years before the internet's existence, where he'd periodically broadcast walking through here. Sadly he died amidst allegations of sexual misconduct (sound familiar) proven untrue. He was an early 'foodie' before Anthony Bourdain...
Yes, the resturants can be expensive, but not everything at Pike Place Market is expensive. Love to but produce there. You seriously can't get fresher fish that at Pike Place Market, unless you meet the boat when it docks.
We make the 4 plus hour trek from Spokane to Seattle just for piroshky piroshky numerous times a year!!! My fav in Seattle...we went for my birthday last month❤️❤️❤️
The only place in this video I'd tell you to try is the yogurt place. It's really good, and they have different flavors to cater to your taste. Here's a tip though: get the yogurt in small size, or if you're feeling like you still have lots of room in your stomach, get a medium. Don't get a Large. It can be pretty overwhelming. Also, you guys have to keep in mind that Seattle pays REALLY well AND Mark filmed this video in Pike Place Market a.k.a the most touristy thing you can do here in Seattle (besides going to the Space Needle LOL). Everything in Downtown Seattle is expensive, and we can do nothing but to accept it. However, if you drive all the way to King Station (which is like, a 5-10 min. drive), you'll find really, really cheap and delicious food in Chinatown. Or, you can just drive up to University District (where UW is located) and try a bunch of restaurants there. They have a bunch of great restaurants, too! OR, drive further North. There, you will find even MORE great food.
Chuck F Washington State isn’t Deep Blue. It’s not even kind of blue. Or a little. The blue all comes from one county (plus an island county or two). The rest of the state is deep, deep red. Washington is a hotbed of white nationalism and Neo-Nazi’s. Our capital city population is basically half extreme liberal and half extreme far right. (Swasti*a Flags fly in Olympia). And even if folks are not WN or NN, they are deeply conservative or republican, and that isn’t going to change anytime soon. The only reason WA shows up blue every year is because of King County (which includes Seattle). Parts of Pierce (where Tacoma is) have some liberal spots, but for the most part it’s just King County. (And Vashon).
I love their slow Braised Corned Beef Hash and it comes with hash browns, two eggs and toast and their smoked salmon bloody Mary’s for breakfast YUMMMMMMMM
It is expensive and it’s a tourist site. The smoked salmon is king salmon not your regular salmon. Look how thick the filet is and the quality. Quality food always come with a price. Def worth a try . Been there and I love Pirosky Pirosky! Love the market. There’s a section of fresh flowers for sale too and artist works . Great market. Thanks for another great video Mark!
How do you eat so much in one day?!?!? Crab eggs benedict, smoked salmon, coffee, pirozhki, clam chowder, cheese sandwich, yogurt and salmon plate...you must take the biggest dumps!
You are incredible Mike. Your enthusiasm and energetic videos. Never get bored of them at all at any cost. Hope one day when me and my husband visit Thailand, can really meet you. Keep on making videos like you do 😉
Fresh fish American style, with a cappuccino yum. Your friend 's shirt says "Pok Pok" there is a Filipino traditional folk song that imitates chickens, it goes "Pok Pok Alimanok!" Original Starbucks, how nifty. Seattle looks sunny here which is nice.
Look, I live in Seattle. Been to Pike Place Market countless times. I could never eat that much in half a day like you did. haha! Wow! I can eat my share at 6'2, but I don't know how you ate all of that within, what, six hours??? In addition to the spots you chose, there are so many more spots to eat that you'd never have the time to highlight. Matt's in the Market, The Athenian Restaurant (my personal favorite!), Kell's is a great bar/restaurant, Maximilien's Restaurant (amazing views, year-round), and the Alibi Room are some of my favorites. It's great to see you enjoyed our city here in the PNW, Mark. Hope you make it back soon!
Big fan here Mark 🍁!!! But those prices in that Seattle Market are totally overpriced!. I believe that everything taste good and is fresh too but all the food prices are for "fine dining" here in Canada .
Woah .. #1 seattle is the fastest growing city even though it is big already so things are rising.. 2 it's in the Pikes place market one of the biggest tourist spots.. so of course it is gonna be high priced .. saying I'm from seattle watch what you say Canada is expensive also .. dont lie ! It's where you go Obviously
Your food channel is honestly the best food channel I've seen. So enthusiastic about everything. And I love how you always travel with your wife and son. What an amazing lifestyle you have.

I always get a Salmon pate piroshky every time I’m back in Seattle.

Piroshky piroshky is the reason I keep going back to Seattle!

I've been in Seattle for 57 years and that Market is awesome!
Yeah interesting market/place. We don't have that type of market in Australia.
Nobody else can match Mark's enthusiasm for food.
Mark, your camera holding arm must be super strong! I lived in Seattle for 30 years and your series has been delightful to watch. You ate your fair share of rich foods that day! My favorite piroshky is the minced beef and onions. The gyro Greek stall there is delish also. I’m going home for Thanksgiving and def visiting the market.

Mark you are an inspiration, your disposition plus willingness to do things your way is something to be marveled at, whenever I’m feeling down I just watch one of your videos and I feel better about this world, thank you

$25 for eggs Benedict?! Markets used to be places where you could go for cheap locally sourced food...not anymore.
Lol yea but its fresh seafood
Not in Seattle..sorry..(Yess, it's pricey)
Yeah I remember when it was $24, damn shame
It's not plain eggs Benedict, that's a lobster egg Benedict, lobster ain't cheap.
It's a Liberal state, what do you expect?
It's always a pleasure to watch your adventures, Mark. I love your positive vibe and the way you travel with your wife and son he is going to be a beautiful boy who loves every culture ❤️

Also, if you want great Asian food, you’re better off heading over to visit Vancouver instead. It’s not too far away from Seattle and the Chinese food there is amazing. It’s literally a mini Hong Kong. You’ll also get the advantage of the currency exchange rate. You’re money will go further in Vancouver over Seattle for sure.
@@SharingWhat then you should stay in California because we won't miss you
it's high prices for mediocre food at best they could have done better at Ivar's
Love Seattle! What dream to be there with all the seafood, mountain foods, farms and remote truffle farms of love,
Welcome to Seattle Mark! Great tour of the Market. Of course prices are higher there... a bunch of those spots are tourist stops. We are a pricy town generally speaking, but you can easily find amazing deals even in the market.
Literally, I would travel from Australia to Seattle to try that dish of Eggs Benedict! Sigh! No disrespect to the undoubtedly excellent coffee you were served, but the Eggs would have been the thing that would have got my morning going! I hope this restaurant opens a branch here! For me, Clam Chowder and Brownies are the USAs two greatest culinary achievements! I salute all Americans everywhere for being associated with the glory of those twin achievements!
@TravelerPat Eggs Benedict is common here also, but not with crab and this appeared to be cooked to an uncommonly high standard! Thank you for your response which is appreciated!
Oh I can’t wait to go back to Seattle....The market is so fun and Seattle is amazing!
Mark. Another mouthwatering episode. Although it started quite expensive with the Eggs Benedict. Even with the lobster I didn't think it was going to be so expensive but the rest of the dishes in the video were more reasonable especially the espressos. Seattle is a cool city. Even cooler was the gum wall. Quite smart.
You are one great man Mark love from KENYA🇰🇪🇰🇪🇺🇸🇺🇸
Seattle! The best clam chowder in the world!
Still probably the best videos on the interwebs.
6:27 You may call me whatever you want, but I would travel all the way from asia to seattle just to get a cup of coffee from Sid. Such an awesome personality ❤️
Love seeing the PNW in your videos! I live about 2 1/2 hours South of Seattle. I think what people don't realize is how touristy Pike Place has become which is why they can get away with such high prices (especially anything with seafood). I would be really interested to see you in Portland, OR!
Living vicariously through your adventures as always.
Always has been touristy... what ya talking about
Mark, Pike Place is a lot of fun to see. The seafood is legendary. It all looked so good. That clam chowder looked like a work of art! Yes it's pricey there, but the fact is, these people pay a lot of money for their leases and rents, then their electric bills, then their employees, and that's all before buying the products that they make and sell there. Going to Pike Place is a destination, just like Disneyland. I think Lowel's restaurant you ate at is where they made the movie Sleepless In Seattle. They have a couple of stools at the bar counter that tell you Tom Hanks sat there. The original Starbucks is always packed. What you showed here was only the top part. There are 2 or 3 floors of shops below what you see here. There are people who have been here for years and years and years. That's where the history comes in. I'm surprised you didn't see all the flower vendors. Beautiful bouquets of flowers. It is really fun going there. And $25.00 for CRAB Benedict was about average price from all the other restaurants I've been to, who sell crab Bennie. I would imagine the regular Bennie was a lot less pricey. For all these people who have commented, if you want lots of crab and pay around $25.00, go to the Muckleshoot Casino in Auburn Washington. Every Friday and Saturday night, their buffet is full of at least 3 kinds of crab, sometimes lobster tails, shrimp, salmon, smoked salmon, a full meat counter with brisket, prime rib, Indian tacos. And a full veggie and salad bar. Plus a desert bar. All you can eat of it, for $25.00.
That “pok pok” shirt 😂 he’s a legend for rocking it in public!
Mark eats very good no matter what he eats is inviting ,he has passions for food and whatever he eats seem delicious to me .
The best smoked salmon piece you can get in the PNW....other than when Gilbert Bodee was alive in Westport. It's a great treat to grab a 12 ounce belly piece and splurge! So glad you're in my back yard Mark! I ate my way through Singapore Hawker Centres, Malaka Nasi Lemak, KL, Penang, Koh Lipe, Koh Phi Phi, Bangkok, Siem Reap, Saigon, and half a dozen other towns in Vietnam in 2020 following your and Anthony Bourdain's suggestions.
Awww Mark, I'm so bummed you walked by (at least twice) Mee Sum Pastry in the Pike Place Market. They have been there for many, many decades (at least 30 years since I used to live/frequent), and they have the best BBQ Pork Hom Bows. Too, there's a great spot for gyros a few yards away, too. You have to go back, seriously! It's worth the trip, I promise!
I CAN'T BELIEVE HE FORGOT THE HOM BOW
Mark.....please make sure your food co-hosts are as enthused as you are. They take away from your quality. We love Joel and Mika!! Your wife has it all. You're lucky. :)
Totally agree. Have no clue who Pok Pok man was, nor do I have any desire to know. He was more interested in his phone. Not sure why he was even there. 🤔🤷♀️
I can't help but complain about the food prices. Smoked salmon $34lb? $25 breakfast? $37 for two clam chowder? $7 for a single grill cheese? $15 for grilled salmon? SEATTLE...poor people need NOT APPLY!
@ivansfocus; nope and not planning to...or ever. There are better city with better food...and price. Not that I'm being cheap, I'll pay good money for good quality food. Nothing special about any of those dishes.
Pikes place matket is a very touristy part of Seattle so the prices are inflated.
Average rent for a 1 bedroom apartment in Seattle is $2k. Minimum wage is $15 + tips. It has consistently been the fastest growing city in the USA for nearly a decade. It isn't cheap by any stretch.
kaox44 - been eating at Lowell's for a couple of decades. Most breakfast plates (pancakes, eggs, french toast, etc) are $10 or less. They are large servings and usually more than I can eat. But you're right about the other places. They might be good, but I live here and wouldn't be caught dead paying that much for clam chowder or smoked salmon. They're tourist joints and overpriced.
Yeah talk about high prices... Campbell can chowder $1.97 a can...lol that make there's almost $18.00 a bowel redicoulous!!!; I know he had the bisq but still no wonder why the other couple split theres
I am from Washington and LOVE Seattle. I've been living in Chiang Mai for the past 3 years. When I hear those prices again I start trembling.
Pikes Market is the place to be. Mark I wish you would show your family enjoying the food too....Micah is getting so big boy...
Hello Mark, Ying, little guy Micah, and Jason! The foods look amazingly delicious! Wow! You guys are making way up the pacific coast of the North America!
Hi good morning Mark Ying and Micah I continue to enjoy you're videos tremendously keep up the good work you're both doing, great job. God bless everyone till the next video 👋 bye. 🍴🍝🍜🍖🍗🍤✈🌍

Athea-I have been looking for your comments and it has been a long time! Glad to see your remark!
Patricia Harvey HI good night glad to be here God bless 👍👍
Your son is so well behaved! I will be visiting these places when I go to Seattle!
I love seeing the wife enjoy herself
Best thing at Pike is the pork buns across the street. They give them to you nice and warm and they’re not that expensive
Mark! never miss your vids and have been viewing since you began. While I know the show is about your inter-action with the food and socializing with multi cultures I believe you could raise it up a notch if you were to include Ying & Micah more often in the videos. Keep making those great food vids.
It's hard to go wrong in Seattle, especially if you love seafood. Were you fortunate enough to visit Shio's for sushi? In my opinion it's one of the tops in Seattle. Simple, traditional, focusing on the delicious local seafood.
As a Seattle native. when you went to piroshky piroshky and you did not get the beef and cheddar......I was more than sad....
Mark has a good smile, but Ying's smile is SO enchanting.
Such a fun and informative tour of Pike Place Market! Thank 😍
Your son is the cutest and so well behaved! Your wife is awesome as well. You are a lucky man, love your videos! 😃
Another awesome video Mark, Ying, & Micah! Great food there in Seattle! Especially that Chowder! Looking forward to the next video bro'! More power and God bless from the Philippines!
His reaction when he takes his first bite lol priceless
Every single time..i be waiting for him to frown because all the food does not look that good 🤣
I'm new to your channel... because you have to be the happiest person on earth!
The fishing boats featured in "Deadliest Catch" call Seattle home. They dock at Fisherman's Terminal at the north end of Elliott bay. Seattle gets first pick of EVERYTHING.
For everyone complaining about prices Seattle is insanely beautiful, a high tech and tourist mecca, and also located south of similarly expensive Vancouver BC..C'mon now.
Mark has the best mid bite reaction on TH-cam .
It’s the only thing he does I can’t stand. Like I get it, it’s good 🤣
Oh yeah!
Mark has extra fast metabolism, otherwise he would be BigMark ;)
Haha
Having lived in Seattle, WA for 21 years, happy you enjoyed your stay. Still, traveling there once a month, make me miss leaving in Seattle. Come visit Pasadena, CA someday. I'm glad you travel with your family and get to experience what you're doing. My husband is an oncologist who travels all over the world speaking engagements and I get to enjoy my travel with him as well and enjoy eating out and trying the local foods. 😊
Lol who else is HUNGRY??
MY MOUTH IS WATERING 😀
Seattle gang where you at🤗🤲🏽👐🏽
I'm in Chicago now, but let me know if you hit up Boston, Mark, and I'll head back home to Mass for you!
Oeò
I wonder if each day is actually that "amazing?" The orgasmic way in which Mark eats is becoming a caricature of itself. It was fun to watch for a while, but now that the novelty has worn off, a straight food review would be cool. Just my own opinion. I do enjoy the various locations.
Franklin MacGillacuddy Very rarely. I feel like a lot of it is to be PC in a vastly different culture.When he does say he doesn't like a particular food, he makes sure it doesn't offend a group. Just a observation.
Franklin MacGillacuddy Totally agree. I would never be that rude. But he's basically doing a food review, so I hold it to a different standard, and expect more honesty on the video (as opposed to being in person at the site).
Fair enough. But still very interesting. Not sure I can smile that long and maintain it...
You too. Best wishes.
He clearly once said he doesnt do food REVIEW he loves to eat and enjoy it...lol
What's also historically amazing is that pbs's own chef Jeff Smith lived next to this market. His show was broadcast years before the internet's existence, where he'd periodically broadcast walking through here. Sadly he died amidst allegations of sexual misconduct (sound familiar) proven untrue. He was an early 'foodie' before Anthony Bourdain...
this guy smiles constantly when he talks and its very endearing
Looool I think Mark's friend was full three stops ago by the end...he could barely speak by the salmon platter hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣 u
Man. That market is *Expensive* !
Yes, the resturants can be expensive, but not everything at Pike Place Market is expensive. Love to but produce there. You seriously can't get fresher fish that at Pike Place Market, unless you meet the boat when it docks.
I can't stop watching this guy eat...his expressions are so great! Lol
We make the 4 plus hour trek from Spokane to Seattle just for piroshky piroshky numerous times a year!!! My fav in Seattle...we went for my birthday last month❤️❤️❤️
The only place in this video I'd tell you to try is the yogurt place. It's really good, and they have different flavors to cater to your taste. Here's a tip though: get the yogurt in small size, or if you're feeling like you still have lots of room in your stomach, get a medium. Don't get a Large. It can be pretty overwhelming. Also, you guys have to keep in mind that Seattle pays REALLY well AND Mark filmed this video in Pike Place Market a.k.a the most touristy thing you can do here in Seattle (besides going to the Space Needle LOL). Everything in Downtown Seattle is expensive, and we can do nothing but to accept it. However, if you drive all the way to King Station (which is like, a 5-10 min. drive), you'll find really, really cheap and delicious food in Chinatown. Or, you can just drive up to University District (where UW is located) and try a bunch of restaurants there. They have a bunch of great restaurants, too! OR, drive further North. There, you will find even MORE great food.
And I'm so hungry right now.😋
Yey! Another amazing video 😍😍😍
outrageous prices.
Only in Seattle. I live in Tacoma. And even Tacoma suffers from the deep blue state and city of Seattle. The reason I'm moving
D Chambers WA isnt deep blue, and if you think that you really dont know your own state.
@@KeshetAylonit What?!?
Chuck F Washington State isn’t Deep Blue. It’s not even kind of blue. Or a little. The blue all comes from one county (plus an island county or two). The rest of the state is deep, deep red. Washington is a hotbed of white nationalism and Neo-Nazi’s. Our capital city population is basically half extreme liberal and half extreme far right. (Swasti*a Flags fly in Olympia). And even if folks are not WN or NN, they are deeply conservative or republican, and that isn’t going to change anytime soon. The only reason WA shows up blue every year is because of King County (which includes Seattle). Parts of Pierce (where Tacoma is) have some liberal spots, but for the most part it’s just King County. (And Vashon).
I love their slow Braised Corned Beef Hash and it comes with hash browns, two eggs and toast and their smoked salmon bloody Mary’s for breakfast YUMMMMMMMM
Best food reviewer in the world
34.50/lb. Talk about fish robbery. Holy fawk
you can get 2 whole fishes for that price
Pier prices. it's just stupid.
Yep...wit no Fire arms!..lol
Shawn Cooper even 1/2 pound is just a piece of fish
Bumpy I'm talking about my country
It is expensive and it’s a tourist site. The smoked salmon is king salmon not your regular salmon. Look how thick the filet is and the quality. Quality food always come with a price. Def worth a try . Been there and I love Pirosky Pirosky! Love the market. There’s a section of fresh flowers for sale too and artist works . Great market. Thanks for another great video Mark!
How do you eat so much in one day?!?!? Crab eggs benedict, smoked salmon, coffee, pirozhki, clam chowder, cheese sandwich, yogurt and salmon plate...you must take the biggest dumps!
And smelly ones
Scott Song I’m sure mark has worms lol
Scott Song he takes big fat shits
What!?!? You came to my city? So cool to watch you enjoy my world and be excited about 😝 enjoy my friend!
You are incredible Mike. Your enthusiasm and energetic videos. Never get bored of them at all at any cost. Hope one day when me and my husband visit Thailand, can really meet you. Keep on making videos like you do 😉
Yo I just ordered the I travel for food T-shirt I’m so happy!!
xXMediaTrix where do you get them?
►T-shirts and caps available now: migrationology.com/store/
I have one and it's a cool t-shirt 😊
xXMediaTrix but do you really travel for food? You ain't a real one.
save your money and buy more food xD
Lov from Nepal !!!!! Always watch your video MARK........
What's Up Mark? I'd love to collab with you sometime.
Please do!
Please consider doing a collab with Mikey Chen from Strictly Dumpling!
Yes!!!!
Yesssss
odomisauq he did! Check back his old vids :)
Fresh fish American style, with a cappuccino yum. Your friend 's shirt says "Pok Pok" there is a Filipino traditional folk song that imitates chickens, it goes "Pok Pok Alimanok!" Original Starbucks, how nifty. Seattle looks sunny here which is nice.
Look, I live in Seattle. Been to Pike Place Market countless times. I could never eat that much in half a day like you did. haha! Wow! I can eat my share at 6'2, but I don't know how you ate all of that within, what, six hours??? In addition to the spots you chose, there are so many more spots to eat that you'd never have the time to highlight. Matt's in the Market, The Athenian Restaurant (my personal favorite!), Kell's is a great bar/restaurant, Maximilien's Restaurant (amazing views, year-round), and the Alibi Room are some of my favorites. It's great to see you enjoyed our city here in the PNW, Mark. Hope you make it back soon!
after seeing your videos i feel hungry
Been watching alot of food channels your hands down the best for food . feels like im watching travel channel lol
I love Marks food travels and Mike Chen (Strictly Dumpling) love them both!!
@array s Oh yes! He's come along way. I absolutely love his expressions when he eats something that he REALLY likes!
Big fan here Mark 🍁!!! But those prices in that Seattle Market are totally overpriced!. I believe that everything taste good and is fresh too but all the food prices are for "fine dining" here in Canada .
Oh he definitely hit all the tourist traps.
Woah .. #1 seattle is the fastest growing city even though it is big already so things are rising.. 2 it's in the Pikes place market one of the biggest tourist spots.. so of course it is gonna be high priced .. saying I'm from seattle watch what you say Canada is expensive also .. dont lie ! It's where you go Obviously
Overpriced and not generous portions. He ended his food tour @2pm probably exceeded his budget for the day.
Semper Fidelis for real though
Being a Canadian in Vancouver I can tell you those prices are CHEAP! It SUCKS up here!
Can't wait for a mark Wiens binging with Babish collaboration
My hometown and grew up running around the public market in the 60s through the 90s
