Well there's a difference between feeling awkward because you're getting people's attention and feeling amazing because you're asserting dominance on the neighborhood because your memes are better than theirs.

I mean, it's a different environment though. One is in his home whilst the other is in public.

He later developed a 6th sense to locate every waiter as soon as his feet enter the restaurant. A skill most karens spent their whole lives trying to develop

Lmao, same. I do this so much to the level I get used to it and don't have problem talking to people unlike my brother or father. So um.... Thank mom? 😂

@@LuminousOriens The waiter is just the stepping stone to the manager.

In South Africa, it's always the younger people who need to call the waiter, so you would just YELL cos most restaurants, e.g. Spur ,are always jampacked. and the older people tend to just ignore it when you ask them to call them

And therefore, very relatable. The less social interaction, the less embarrassed I’ll have to be when I realize just how socially inept I am.

@@kaminari1927 that's social anxiety not introversion

@@kaminari1927 they are different i'm kind of an ambivert with social anxiety

I read this comment as soon as he said that.

And then there's sukiya. Probably the biggest and shittiest of the 3. The うな丼 (una-don) or "eel bowl" is fucking expensive. ¥900 for half an eel and ¥1200 for a whole. I'd rather by an eel at the supermarket and cook it myself. It's a shame too because it's my favorite bowl dish. I just love eel. Edit: just checked, and the half eel only cost ¥790 and not ¥900. I mixed it up with うな牛 (una-gyu) or “eel and rice bowl.” Also, if you want to know about what I mean buy a whole eel, search for 特うな丼 (toku-una-don) in the sukiyaki menu. In sukiya, 1 eel = half an eel.

@@Shanaoh that's not very weird though. Eel is a lot more expensive than beef at any place you go to. Have you tried ひつまぶし？ That's like $40 (totally worth it though)

@Max Schwartz Eel is a luxury, but I can buy a whole eel for ¥700 on a Friday midnight sale. I usually don't cook for myself, but if I can keep ¥500 in my pocket if I just buy the ingredients in the local supermarket, I'm gonna do that instead. They also taste the same. Like, I don't understand why eels from places like Hamamatsu are so expensive. B*tch, if this eel tastes the same as the one sold in the local grocery store, I ain't paying ¥2000~¥3000. I rarely pay more than ¥1000 for a single meal. Also, I'm more of a Yoshinoya guy. As stupid as I sound, I like their curry a lot, even if Yoshinoya isn't a curry restaurant. Edit: A hitsumabushi costs $40? WTF? I ate one in Nagoya for like ¥2200, and I thought that was expensive. Where do they get their eels? I can agree that it’s worth the money though. I agree on ¥2200, and not $40.

@@Shanaoh bruh if you buy anything from europe a meal is fucking $20 minimum

NeostormXLMAX Yeah, I hear that a lot. If you watched a previous trash taste podcast, they talked about how cheap it is in Japan to actually go out and eat, rather than cooking for yourself, which is partially true. Some exceptions like eel, do exist. Europe is the opposite of that. Never been to Europe, but my family and I are planning to visit a friend I know from York, England after the pandemic is over. If that plan won’t be canceled, I’m pretty excited to see the difference between the food cultures of Asia and Europe.

Make it a challenge to spend 500 bucks each and see who eats best. Garnt will still somehow pick the most degenerate option and win.

@@GP-sv8eg of course.

So do they literally not understand it without intonation?

@@TremereTT I would imagine so. It's kinda like speaking to someone with a really thick accent.

I know right? Even in South East Asia, they put fast food combo with rice and put it in bowl rice. I do wish they have dumpling, noodle and skewer, but in here we have soup and porridge. Imagine going to fast food to buy porridge 😂 There is also limited edition food which basically only comes out for a while. I wish matcha ice cream make it back tho. Why it's part of limited edition 😭

@@cestalia Honestly, the fact that you can get porridge in a fast food chain is just amazing. I remember doing that in a McDonald's and it came with a delicious azuki flavoured soy milk (I can't forget that breakfast, it was astonishingly good). It's like even the western brand fast food chains over there are better in the sense that their menu is just so diverse. And heck yeah, some of their limited edition are unbelievably good. Even some of the non limited editions are great, like KFC's egg tart (I think only available in certain countries). I've actually visited the place Portugal where this kind of egg tart was invented because of the KFC ones😂 (they're not completely the same, but it was enough for how much I was craving)

god thank you for commenting this. This is just awaking something new within me idk maybe I'm just hungry

@@cestalia Yeah, in SEA fast food taste better yet not overkill as in US, and KFC in SEA maybe the best in the world.

I live in south east asia but, i can agree with this

Welcome to the bin

You have been blessed by the KZfaq Algo

Garnt's channel is pretty good if you are into anime, self aware humor, and unexpectedly deep introspection on occasion. I have tried to watch the other guys channels before, but they have too much of that gamer/late-millennial energy where everything has to be a punch line, and are a bit obnoxious for it in my opinion. All together though, CDawg really stands out in the group, but that is just part of him being a living anime protagonist.

ZoeyZoLeyena yeah I watch a few of the irl KZfaqrs who live in japan. Just never really touched anime KZfaq before

As somebody who prefers Yoshinoya 100% of the time, *THIS IS HERESY*

Same here

@@romannasuti25 Yoshinoya > Matsuya for sure. If anything because Matsuya isn't as clean as Yoshinoya.

@@Renvi yeah the big thing for me is, I don't care about variety. If a shop does one thing and absolutely kills it (Ichiran ramen, gindako takoyaki, etc.) that's preferable to having a ton of options but they're all mediocre. Yoshinoya doesn't do much, but their unagi set (my fiancee's fave) and the gyudons/butadons are just so consistently good that I can forgive the lack of variety. Matsuya has a ton of interesting stuff on the menu, sadly much of which I found mediocre.

DOIT!!

@@medievalpepper1832 why?

Yeah even if a spec of sauce is on my mum goes "CLEAN. THE. PLATE" Whenever I'm some where else and they don't serve bread with soup to clean the plate i feel a bit helpless

Hahah can relate we even ask for more rice

My vietnamese mom is like this, she sees a grain of rice on my plate and she just tries to force feed me the last grain if i dont finish it....

ACE!

My Grandfather and Grandmother from my mother's side are farmers before they died (rip), so my Mom took it as a personal offense if i don't eat the smallest speck of rice left in my plate.

Coco is so good. I’m glad it’s in LA too lol.

I can make beef and rice. It’s cheap and easy. Curry for one or 2 is difficult and elusive

Literally what I was saying like why not? I feel like if you don’t want to waste food the best thing to do is take it home

A bit late for an asnwer, but a recent-ish (a few years ago, can't remember when but somehting like 2-3 years) regulation in the EU made them required in restaurants, or at least restaurants are required to be able to give them to you if you ask

A Japanese teacher told me they don't do it there because of food safety. I think some cultures also find it rude if you don't finish your plate, but I think Japanese restaurants just assume you don't like whatever you left on your plate (for example, if something has tomatoes but you leave tomatoes on your plate, they probably would just think you don't like tomatoes).

you're allowed to "take-out" food here in southeast asia as well. It's just too wastefully to just throw away food. Plus taking out food for pets at home is common now. We even request to take beef bones with us even though it is completely cleaned lmao

We do in Canada

You know you better shut the fuck up already about the whole "years refining their craft" thing. What the hell do you think chefs in other countries do ? Pick their asses all day ?

You shouldn't be expected to finish the whole plate if your body can't take anymore food. It's unhealthy and can make you sick. There are more important things to worry about in this world than the food left behind someone else.

Hey I'm grump!

As a Mexican you can just say that you want it wrapped to take home; it is pretty common

I think if you eat in a group with the sharing food aspect you’re supposed to leave like a bite still on the plate but if you’re eating by yourself you should definitely finish it

No, if you get food poisoning from the food you took home, it will be the restaurant's fault for allowing you to take home food that may get spoiled. So the restaurants don't take any risks. They can easily go out of business if someone gets food poisoning from taking home food not intended for take away in the first place.

Thats just a general North American thing. Happens in Canada too

Most places in india too

@@Lumina777 Nope, I'm from Uruguay and it's a common thing to do if you cannot finish your meal (portions tend to be a bit large here, no size options). Also in Argentina.

And that makes sense if the foreigner is speaking english, but it doesn't makes sense when they are speaking japanese.

@@fesouzasan To be fair, there has been times when they do yell SUMIMASEI and then when waiter has come they started talking in english.

@@Jepze158 If that happens the waiter can simply admit he doesn't speak english. That's not a problem at all. Avoiding foreign clients is much worse than that imo.

I think they don't do that in Japan, at least it's not common.

Everyone's saying this and I've literally never seen this in the UK it seems like such a weird idea to me, I googled it and it turns out it does happen here? It seems odd to me as the entire point of going to a restaurant is to eat their fresh food, or you go to a takeaway.

@@tayloraf5108 yeah but sometimes you get full and unable to finish the entire meal sometimes maybe your little children will be full and wouldn't finish the meal it will be a waste to just let it be thrown away

Maytricks in most countries portion sizes are reasonable so it’s not an issue unless you fuck up your order like they did. It’s only America where you have insane amounts of food served

@@samus2205 That seems really weird to me. Why would you not be allowed to take home what you paid for?
