I like how his personality didn’t change, if anything he was able to be more himself when he moved to KZfaq

Who's glad sonny actually stuck to youtube? Edit: thanks for a ll the likes never had so many

Awww. That Amish lady was so cute. I want to hug my mom now.

I actually saw these 2 pilot shows late at night when they aired and I was like holy s*it this is Sonny! Good for him! Was excited for the show but your KZfaq channel is 1000% better with allowing your tire humor to shine through!👍

Having creative control in your own content and creation is imperative to your own success. Sonny, you and your team are the ultimate feel good travel food comedy show everyone strives to be 💕

No Sonny, the winner is you brother...so glad you moved on and kept pushing on your dream for a "food review show". Hats off to you for literally having the best ever food review show!

No wonder these videos are so educational. He used to be a teacher! Makes perfect sense now. Always learning stuff with Sonny.

Chef Pagano! He was in Hell’s Kitchen season one, I wanted him to win but I’m glad he’s doing well.... I want to see you as a mermaid, Sonny let’s make this happen

The travel channel did you a disservice. Feels like they toned down your energy and awkwardness

I see why it didn't make it. They ruined your humor etc. Your show is waaayy better.

honest truth Sonny, your regular videos are a million times slicker than what the TV crew did! kudos to your crew! when i watch it, i can see the beginnings of your unique style. i have been following your channel since you were less than 100k subscribers and i am so pleased to watch you and your channel grow in both style and content. through it all, i am glad you still retained the same Sonny style, the same look you give when you put nice food in your mouth, most of all i love the fact that I have never seen you ever criticize a food you eat. thats class dude. keep it up Sonny!

Sonny without bandana is like removing the Best on Best Ever Food Review Show

I’d kill to see that shot of Sonny in the mermaid costume

Me being selfish, I’m glad it didn’t get picked up so I could watch you on KZfaq instead of needing cable.

The owner of the mermaid restaurant was on kitchen nightmares and he almost won. Came in second place. Glad to see he has his own restaurant now

Best food reviewer on KZfaq, he isn’t afraid to say what tastes good or not, and is open to try anything!!!

when are you going to take us home to Minnesota and introduce us to your favorite foods, childhood foods and just good ol Minnesota eats 😋

As far as the TV show goes, I think the reason it didn't make it was because 'they' sucked all the 'flavor' out of it. If they'd just let you be YOU it would have gone over much better with the audience, exactly like your present 'home grown' production does. I'm sure you've read many times in the comments that 'they' should give you your own show, and yes it's true; but they would have to let you have more 'creative control' of it.... But of course 'they' always think they know better.... In the end you've proved that you're better off doing your own thing...

Good lord, the crabster looks so good I'd risk my hit or miss allergic reaction to shellfish..

Honestly, its more entertaining when you have creative control, thats why I watch you and don't have cable TV

Woah Sonny WITHOUT a bandana! I almost didn't recognize him

Who needs the travel channel when you got Sonnys KZfaq channel, keep killing it sonny, your the best, can't get enough of it, I hope someday to get to meet you man, you have really inspired me to want to leave the country an try other foods.

Gotta be honest, its way better when you and your team handle the whole production aspect, and mostly editing. Because its more like you, your unique humor, its more human and most importantly uncencored (well its beep out but you know) and it makes everything a lot me genuine and real.

This video made me very happy and a little sad. My mom used to cook mush! She's been gone 11 years. That was such a bittersweet surprise! Thank you Sonny for being so rad and wonderful. I love your channel(s).

Chef Ralph from hells kitchen, nice to see him again killing it!

Travel Channel took a big L not picking you up brother.

I miss it when sonny pops up from random places at the beginning ... petition to bring it back starts now!!! Click thumbs up if you agree... if not, bugger off then 😂😂

Omg you have no idea how excited I was to see you posted a new one. THANK YOU. During this crazy time I'm dealing with a lot and you are really helping me get through it better. Thank you for the distraction of happiness. You rock

Ahhh memories. Back before Sonny shot a rifle like a n00b and has a permanent scar for life now. lol

Hey sonny, don’t know how you feel about that show not working out but it might have been for the better? I feel you’re more free and happier on your own KZfaq show. Anyways, big fan. ;)

Hi Sonny, I've been watching your shows for years now... I've loved to watch them on Travel and Living Channel.. Since i keep travelling, I don't get to watch them on TV now.. But i'm so glad i get to see you on youtube.. I live in Oman, and I enjoyed your show on Oman. U deserve 5 stars man.. Good Job. Love to watch you on TV... Keep up the good work...

Great show Sonny!! But I'm glad you're in S.E. ASIA doing what you're doing!! I just hope you're making a living buddy!! Later...

It was a good show, but now you have the freedom to be you. I feel like they would’ve stifled your creativity Sonny

This "Hogma" looks almost like a dish from Rheineland Palatine in German, called Saumagen. Good to see that the Amish didn't forget the good german food.

Sunny you do such a great job, I'm watching you off KZfaq and enjoy every second

During quarantine, still keeping people satisfied with the great content ! 👍

I would’ve definitely watched your show. I grew up watching Andrew Zimmern and Anthony Bourdain 😅 Also the bandana is smart because now we see the bandana and think of you and your channel, plus it wicks up the sweat.

That lady who cooked you the Amish delicacy was so sweet and her innocence is just anything but amazing

Pretty cool to watch a classic with you. All the food looked amazing. Was fun to watch. Great video

You should absolutely have your own show!!! I love the awkward "funnies". I can not wait to try the crab dish when I am in Florida! Thank you and keep the vids coming!

That show seemed very tofu without sauce (lacking flavor) Your show has so many layers, food, culture, humor, and soul. Glad you didn’t go back in time as TV is so outdated, who has time for that? Entertainment on demand is where its at. Keep up the great work and thank the gods that you didn’t get sidetracked in your journey.

The lady's smile is worth a trillion dollars. 😊 Edit :- Nancy. That's the lady I am talking about.

Thank you, Sonny. Glad you continued with your show now. I remembered when you do this it seems best ever would've come to an end or become another foodie channel with lesser episode. Lastly, it's good now I finally got to see what you're up too back then but like everybody said it doesn't have the kinds of flavour and personality that Best Ever has now. Stay safe!

This is the best show I don’t have to pay for 😊 Thanks sonny

*SO* much of your personality is muted in this. I'm glad they didn't continue, cuz BEFRS is leaps and bounds more entertaining

Keeping BEFRS on production is one of the best things happened in the world. 💪

I love you for being you, Sonny! Glad you stick to KZfaq.

I found you about 1 year ago on KZfaq. Literally so blessed I did! I love the content and your personality is great. You actually make me laugh out loud, and usually say what… lol thank you

I think that crabster looked amazing. I would have watched the show if it was picked up, I used to watch travel channel all the time.

That lobster dish was so delicious looking! I would have been a happy lady to order that. Bet it was pricey but so worth it!

Another great video I loved this series keep it going brotha!🙏❤💪

I am thrilled Sonny stayed with it, I love his shows. Actually learned to cook a few meals he had on his video's.

Between you moving to Asia to teach and that giggle, I'm in love.

How was this show not an instant hit??? Can't wait for the next "review" 😀

6:50 The lady has the cutest smile!

I love your KZfaq channel way more than any travel/food show on tv. Your just so unbridled and hilarious. Tv doesn't deserve you💓

This time I know better than to watch Sonny's show empty handed. I came prepared with a big bowl of snacks on me lap. I'm on to you buster!

Hell’s Kitchen Season 1 chief XD

That was amazing, love the show, and love the seafood bowl! Yes it should be a show!!!

I bet the travel channel would be crying now about missing this guy back then. There’s no way stopping him now. Also, really fortunate they didn’t get him full time. This is such a tone down from his original.

hey sonny love your show on youtube ever since, the vibes, energy, travel and adventure plus the comedy was always appealing and interesting to me. they should have giving that to you. They did tone your persona and magnetic energy, so maybe was better off for you not getting the pilot to kick off. lets see keep the videos coming, same energy, stay safe you and your staff and family. always have my support.

I loved ❤️ seeing the stuffed crab 🦀 with all that seafood, looked sooo yummy! And the fried grits with sausage gravy sounds so bomb 💣!

I love you and your show on its own.

I love the owner/chef of the second restaurant Sonny went to. I could listen to him talk about his food all day!

This is great I wanted to watch this since you said you were filming. Your show is way better in my opinion thou.

The Crabster looks so damn delicious 🦀

Excellent Episode! A+ Yes the show should have been picked up and I want that Crabster!!!!

"oh I'm doin it" - earned my respect Sonny.

I really think that they were trying to take your slight Anthony Bordainish style and run with it. You are Sonny, not Anthony. I selfishly admit that I am glad you weren't placed into the box that most of these shows are made from.

Definitely should have been a show. But, hey you can do it on the tubes now!

As much as I'd love to see you on TV so I can watch with my dad, I'm glad you've been able to create a big audience here on youtube, these videos have helped me, and many others I'm sure, through some rough times!

Sunny, I love this show way better than what’s on tv now. I wish you still had this going.

What?! The Amish go on vacation? 😂

Damn, they really missed out. it's good to see the channel grow so big

I loved it. And I think you should do more. I've missed seeing you. I wish they hadn't muted a lot of that stuff. Because a lot of it was funny.

I have a new found respect for sunny after this video he had so many no’s before before the success he found and did not give up, doesn’t seems the least bit defeated by it.

I'm glad Sonny does his own thing instead of letting Travel Channel tells him what to do. Freedom is the best thing anyone could ask for.

Sonny you should again start your videos from hiding somewhere and the poping out.

Sonny i respect u and your videos really excellent ❤❤❤thanks for everything

You hit the seafood jackpot Sonny. Lol. Looks delicious. 😋

Damn I didn't know Ralph was doing this good after hell's kitchen. Glad to see that 👍

0:52 something that we missed

They totally dropped the ball on that show! I loved everything, I neeed to find an Amish cookbook now! LOL!

LOOOOVE YOUR SHOW. THIS SHOULD'VE BEEN ON TRAVEL CHANNEL... PERIOD 🙏🏾

You and Mark Weins uploaded at the same time!

02:35 First I heard "I always pick YODA's first" Then I saw the staff Then I thought of a popular movie with a character named Yoda with a staff. And then I suddenly thought - hey this is totally irrelevant!

I’m glad you had received the experience of doing a show but I like your KZfaq channel, just because you can genuinely be yourself and not be in the back of your head wondering if it’s good tv or not. You are the star and only you can make yourself shine. Keep up the hard and amazing work you do!! #fanforaslongasyoukeepmakingvideos

This goes to show that not all things that are unsuccessful are trash. There's something about your commentating, Sonny, that hooks the viewers into watching until the end. Great job you did there in Crazy Delicious! Keep it up here in YT! :D

There’s this show on history channel named “eating history” and they literally buy and eat old expired foods . If that can be a show ,you should definitely have a show on discovery channel ,forget the travel channel no one watches that lol.

I thought I recognised Ralph.

When I was a little boy my grandparents lived in Sarasota. EVERYONE had one of those trikes and road them everywhere. It was so cool to see you riding one, it brought back such great memories!!!

Thank you for always giving me awesome video to look forward to.

Wtf was the crab chef wearing on his hands?! He looked like marv out of home alone. Would not want those hands anywhere near my food.

When you ate that stomach stuffed with meat, potatoes, and onions with those women, it’s like watching serial killers eating with their new victim. HAHA ok im going to stop now.

The Crabster was my favorite and I'm really ,really, Sure it was yours also by your reAction to the abundance of Flavors ! Thoroughly enjoyed this Presentation ! Really like your approach to different Cultures and Ethnic Foods ! Bravo !

Sarasota!!!! Ya, thanks for sharing Sunny!

This is amazing. What could have been. Its just weird not seeing the bandana. Branding is eveeything.

I can understand why this tanked... you are not you, it’s less sonny side.

Thank you for ur quality channel which is way better than any other food shows. U and ur team edited ur products beautifully mixed with the funniest personality of u. Thumbs 👆 up! Once again thanks for entertainment in this difficult time.

I love your channel. I’m new to seeing you. I loved that pilot. They totally should have picked you up. My favorite was the crab seafood mix. Looked so good.
