Imagine walking down Parramatta Road and seeing Mark Weins. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought he’d be even remotely close to me

As a Sydney local I've gotta give Mark huge props - the man does his homework! So crazy to see him eating at the same places that we love to eat. Hope you come back and get to try more of our favs, Mark!

As a Sydneysider, I appreciate that you really did your research and didn’t just stay in the CBD/typical touristy areas. So much representation and showcasing small businesses in this video - these are options I normally eat as a local, thanks for showing the diversity 👏🏼

Shout out to all the ethnic people that opened up restaurants and foodary in Australia. I don't know what we'll do without y'all 😂🫶🏾

This is why I love living in Sydney. The diverse range of ethnicities gives us so many options for amazing cuisine. Thanks for showing our great city!

Never thought I'd see Mark smashing a HSP in Aus. Just glad he liked it 😂

Mark, I’ve wanted to visit Australia since I was a little girl and this series just makes me want to visit even more. I hope people realize you can’t cover everything when you visit but you always manage to show the best of the best of what the country has to offer. Thank you.

Just went to 3 of 5 this week, it was fantastic. This is my first time in Australia and I had no idea what to eat. The Banh mi place was excellent, never had one so delicious compared to where I'm from, we actually bought it again (they open 06:30) to take with us to the airport today and the server was so kind and even remembered us. The HSP was incredible. The Indian home diner was so tasty. Mark, super mahalo and domo for making this video as we can't thank you enough. Sydney was an incredibly beautiful, friendly, clean, and safe place loved every minute of it.

This is exactly why you're my all time favourite food vlogger to watch Mark. 10/10 research in every country you visit, and as a Sydneysider these were some perfect spots to hit for the mentioned foods. Very cool to see you dining at spots we dine at 😁

As an Australian, I felt proud when you enjoyed our multicultural foods. I hope you revisit Sydney for another food tour!

Cabramatta for genuine Vietnamese food, Harris Park for great Indian food, Lakemba/ Auburn for tasty Middle Eastern dishes, Ashfield for amazing handmade Chinese dumplings, Petersham for beautiful Portuguese food and Newtown for incredible Thai cooking

Seeing Mark’s pure joy eating his first HSP has made my day.

People of the world, what Mark has done here is shown you local faourites that are truly good. I lived in inner west Sydney, been fed by these establishments and I will put forward that these are worth it trips.

As a Sydney-born guy, I am well aware of most of these places. As soon as you said Marrickville, I knew you were hitting those pork rolls. You did a great job picking out some really unique spots. I could give you another 100 places with great food too. Sydney is riddled with multicultural food.

As a Sydneysider, I always passed in front of Chinatown Noodle restaurant but never tried their food. Thanks to you Mark, tonight I stopped by to try their braised eggplant, pan-fried dumplings, and fresh Noodle. OMG!!! What a find!!! That eggplant, though...award winning ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Will go back for more 👍

Hi Mark, I lived in China for 6 years, before moving to Bangkok. Every night after work I'd have hand-made noodles. The guys usually from North West China, would mix a sack of flour with yeast and water to ferment / grow overnight. Each portion was cut from the large slab and turned into noodles. It's something that entertained me every evening without fail. They turned a lump of dough with hand pressure and stretching plus a little flour / olive oil from large pipes into thin great tasting noodles in a few minutes. I miss them. Best wishes from Bangkok.

I've really enjoyed this Australian series, and THANK YOU for including a cheap eats video. For those of us that want to experience the culture through food but can't splurge on nice resturants, THIS content is exactly what I can use.

I am constantly IMPRESSED with Mark's seeming endless appetite. He attacks each dish like he has not eaten in days. Clearly there is much discipline and focus required to maintain this level of food hunger while also maintaining his lean physique. Very impressed. .

As an American, I lived in Sydney for 6 months. Sydney does have wonderful food, but my go-to spot for a piece of home was Franky's Pizza! It immediately sent you back to the 80s!

As a Sydneysider, I have been to every one of these locations. And had many similar meals around Sydney. After watching you do this around the world it made me proud to see you represent Sydney so well!!

As a local Sydney Foodie, I am so impressed on the accuracy of Mark's research and quality of the content. Well done Mark! Come back ANYTIME! 🇦🇺

Im impressed Mark knows so much of the history! Man of great taste... HSP 4 life!

Mark coming to Western Sydney cause that's where the culture and food of Sydney is! I'm so proud!

Mark, yourself and your teams research and information on our food and culture here in Sydney is top tier. Appreciate the video and thank you for putting the areas needing more attention on the map of good Sydney eats.

I haven't seen your videos in several months 'cause of hospitalization&surgery, some like a year&a half, but when I saw your son SO GROW UP, men, it drew a smile in ma face :D

Sydney is amazing for a multicultural banquet of food, but you also need to do some country Aussie version of fast food: fish and chips, meat pies, pub roasts!

Unreal! Mark Wiens living his best life just casually lining up at MPR, smashing a HSP with the holy trinity in Ashfield, hopping on a train to Granville to get El Jannahs, ordering all the best dishes at chinatown noodle and capping it off with a double tikka roll at Indian Home diner before midnight.

So surreal to see Mark Weins in Sydney! His way of describing the food and his love for food, and passion for eating is just a joy to watch!

Yesssss ! Bless for putting Ashfield and Marrickville on the Map! The inner-west of sydney has the best underground food 🥲

it makes me so happy to see someone coming to sydney and enjoying the food we eat. i never expected such a reaction from the food, im happy i grew up with this food

I moved to Australia from Dallas texas for college in 2015 and El Jannah was my go to spot! The half chicken & fries was so affordable and filling!! My housemate would often walk into the kitchen while I was preparing dinner and ask me, “yo you wanna go to El J?” without even hesitating I’d say HELL YES 😂. Good times man

Respect. Mark Wiens comes to Sydney, first stops are Marrickville, Ashfield, Granville, Haymarket, Indian Home Diner 🫡

Mark freaking Weins. I used to watch him a long time ago. Loved his expression after taking a bite. Seeing him having the same excited expression after all these years is so good

Thank you for supporting small local businesses and showcasing the beauty of these cities and towns you visit! I've been watching for years. Come to Toronto!

Seeing Mark smashing a HSP with the holy trinity (bbq, chili and garlic sauce) made my year

Mark is such a nice person. Even the restaurant owner didn't know he is coming but he is always welcomed. Charming.

As a Kiwi who lived in Sydney for two years, I can say the food I liked the most was the kebabs and the fact that most of the Greek fish n chip shops did Chicken and Chips. I would love our fish n chip shops to do charcoal chicken.

When you hear Mark say the classic "Oh yeah" you know the food is good😅😋

Australia is VERY Multicultural. Hard to explain what we mean to people from abroad till they actually come to Australia & experience for themselves. Australian food is multicultural & when you visit reputable food places, the food is very well made too. Mark showed us only 5 places. But Sydney is riddled with great cuisine in many different places & of different ethnicities... name an ethnicity & you've got it here in Sydney! And delicious! We're so Blessed & so Grateful!

I love how Micah is helping dad so much more in the videos. Love you and your family Mark! Blessings on you and your beautiful work.

One thing my local bakery does is to use scissors to cut the spring onion and coriander in the roll, it makes eating the roll so much better.

I would fly all the way from dubai to eat at El Jannah with my cousin who lives in Sydney ..epic eating memories oh boy !

I just love Mark so much and the way he addresses people, his descriptions of the tastes, textures and temperatures of the food. It’s so refreshing to hear his wife in the background giggling because the food was too hot 😂 I watch these videos and forget I’m not there eating at the table. Great content, has always been.

Awesome Mark! Thanks for mixing with the people that make up this great city of ours and for venturing out to the suburbs.

I love the thought that Micah never has gone hungry growing up with you guys lol Edit: bouncing Micah at 20:32 haha!

Sydney has great food! Auburn for Biriyani Mr. Gees for burgers Strathfield for KBBQ Chatswood for Chinese hotpot Cabramatta for Viet Can't go wrong!

It's a joy to watch you eat but to see and knot the young tastebuds of your son is also enjoying the food is refreshing...

Can confirm Mark chose legit favourites from the locals and these are the places we love. Great job!

Hi Mark! It’s really nice to meet you.My name is Michael.I am an Asian who live in Melbourne I know you are a busy man you work really hard I don’t wanna disturb you. As a human being We live under the same sky, i enjoy cooking either I am one of your fans. i have been watching your KZfaq videos from the oldest one to the newest one.Like All of them.They are simply amazing.Nice work! You are the man who does know how to make enjoyable food and trip videos! Hopefully you will understand me Because we have similar experience in life.You have came soo far to Thailand as a lonely American who would like to participate in another different culture. And you succeed. You were a teacher who taught english in Thailand. Then you became a famous food lover eater and a youtube STAR who provides great vlogs and guides about food especially chili ,As an asian i like Australia the place comes with fresh air, blue sky white cloud, Golden sunshine,blue ocean a peaceful environment.Just like you i wanna taste the Aussie culture and doing good things for them and make some friends either. my pronunciation is fine.But unfortunately,My English grammar English speaking and listening is not good enough to handle conversation with people, People need to communicate with me.i need your help if i can chat with you to practice my English speaking and listening, That would be super helpful ! I believe, It’s because you seems to be a friendly person who has a big smile.

As a Sydney sider you've hit every food symbol that represents Australia, with multicultural food that's what I love about Sydney!

Welcome to Sydney! Like a lot of others on here I recommend you visit Cabramatta - not just because of the food but also the market-like atmosphere.

Watching this at 1am and haven’t had a HPS in years but seeing mark’s reaction made me get in my car to go grab one before it closed at 2 😂 so damn good!

lots of food vloggers who visit australia try the novel or iconic foods like seafood, barbecue or kangaroo meat, but few take the time to learn about what local people enjoy. really really appreciate that you visited all these local favourites and that you enjoyed them! we are a multicultural country and it really shows in our food :)

Welcome to Sydney Mark Weins & family! Awesome to watch you taste your way through our city! Enjoy!!!

im really impressed by australia and i like how they hosted mark weins. they are open and modern and mark weins is so accepting he probably doesnt know all the australian slang

Bloody hell. Mark Wiens eating a Marrickville pork roll and Indian home diner? You’re officially a Sydneysider now mate. Great stuff.

Mark managed to hit the ACTUAL good spots on Sydney, none of that fancy bs he hit the actual food spots

Australia is a Beautiful place❤ and a very kind person

Superb, Sydney is a true melting pot! This is the real heart of our city and you shed light on it in such a clear and succinct manner. Thanks Mark.

Never in my life did I think I'd ever see Mark at Marrickville Pork Roll!! I'm there most days and obviously picked the worst day to not go 😂

im so impressed with the research you've put into this well done mate

I love those crunchy rolls with liver spread, and fresh veggies

I never thought of Australia as a food paradise, but my goodness everything has been perfect so far.

I live in Sydney and it's really lovely to see Sydney good eats represented. Mark Wien knows his food! 😀

Great work Mark. I didn’t realise you were in Sydney! After seeing the excitement of your Greece videos, it was so cool seeing you in far away Sydney enjoying the delights. 👍

Oh my gosh how everything looks so delicious just the way you eat it love the buffet s

Now when we travel to Australia we know where to eat .... Mark covered it so well ...looks beautiful

when the owner of a restaurant with 5 locations is waiting himself and is this friendly you know they have to have a good work climate. so friendly and welcoming, makes me wanna come visit

As an aussie who LOVES a drunk HSP,,, im SO HAPPY to see you trying your first one the BEST way,, mixed with the widely accepted ""holy trinity"" of sauces (as every kebab shop i've been to calls it). Theres also nothing better (to me) than a choccy milk and a crispy, fresh, pork belly banh mi as a hangover/comfort meal. you're not out here experiencing the appreciation of a simple meal, you're experiencing something simplistic that is also becoming ingrained in the young australian experience, as we learn and understand different parts of our society and appreciate the contributions of people of other beliefs and cultures. at its core,, all australians i know (myself included) are always on the hunt for dishes that satisfy us as much nationally as a $2 bunnings snag could, and there are so many places that encourage/promote this in simple ways

As a Viet in Aus, the one difference between Vietnamese banh mi and banh mi made by Viet-Aussie is the pate. I dont know how but they make the pate so so so good here!

We went to the Chinese restaurant this morning and showed the owner and they were super surprised and stoked!! Thanks for the recommendation Mark ☺️ Also think it was really awesome that you took the train to each of the restaurants and went all the way to Granville for the OG El Jannah!

whoever did the research did a banging job - thank you for putting Sydney's food scene on the map Mark and team!!!

Good on you Mark , as someone that has lived and worked in Sydney some great mentions here. I've eaten at all these places, that's how you know I have a food problem. Worth while for anyone visiting Sydney :)

Dude the way your pulling apart the Indian wrap and getting it all over your hands at the end is unaustralian 😂

The struggling between the eggplants & dumpling was real 😅 such an amazing KZfaqr. Have been following for the past 8 years

As much as I understand why he does have other people travelling with him, I much prefer it when he’s just with Ying and Micah. Original feel. Loving this Australian tour. Hope it’s New Zealand next!!

The first bite tastes like heaven, The second takes you there -Gordon Ramsey

thank you. next week when i visit SYD. i will definitely go to taste especially Metro One Kebab.

Gotta love how fresh the food looks and the quality of the ingredients we have in our Aussie food. Plus the diversity of cultures represented by their food.

The greatest food reviewer to have ever existed. His pallet to extinguish each individual flavour and ingredient is exquisite. I can only dream of having this lifestyle. We love you mark 👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊

The chef who was preparing the stir fried noodles seemed very proud of his dish.🍝

First time I ever had a doner kebab was in 1980. Omg. I couldn’t wait to tell my siblings. The next weekend we went and got one each. I’d never had middle eastern food. I was hooked. Now it’s my go to take away food. So many great shops where I live!

SHOUT OUT TO EVERYBODY FROM AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺!!!!!! SEEMS LIKE A WONDERFUL CULTURE 👍

Micah is sooooo cute!!! I love how you take your family when you travel!! He looks so happy🥰

The original angry Vietnamese lady serving the original Marrickville pork roll 😂 true SE Asian service.

We call the sauces the holy trinity mark. You well never order anythng other than a mix HSP with the Holy Trinity. A true Aussie classic!

Tip for you HSP lovers: If you're not gonna eat it right away, secure the lid and then turn it upside down until you're ready to eat. This keeps the oil in the meat and stops it making the chips soggy!

Australia invented 'chicken salt' - it's the BEST stuff on earth to have with fries/chips. Aussie Aussie Aussie!

I love how he has a foodgasm next to the garbage bins. I've never tried the Banh Mi Baguette when I used to live in Sydney.

A masterful selection of Sydney's cheap eats. Ruddy good homework there, Mark.

glad you've finally made it down here! By the way.. chicken salt is not specific to El Jannah, it is an Australia thing... taste amazing and can't believe you don't really see it in other countries

This shows how multicultural and amazing Australia is

FINALLY someone who appreciates when your chips get moist with all the meat juices 🤤

Can see why Aussies eat these for lunch..fresh food in a roll....love them

i love the fact that you bring the family and friends along on these tours .watching you share the food with your son was entertaining.

Mark you have the best feel-good energy!! Besides the awesome foods, your channel is great because you’re such a genuine guy 🤤👌😎

When Micah and Mark switch food. Love it .

I have lived in Sydney all my life. Going to check out a few of these places Mark. Thanks for the recommendations.

Mark burning his mouth and keeping it in 😅 I wouldn’t spat it out quick 😂

Wow, this guy comes all the way to Australia to eat fast foods [ typical American ]. Watch how excited he gets when he walks into KFC and McDonald's. I've been to the United states and their all like this guy. They call chips " French fries " and tomato sauce is called Ketchup. Americans LOVE fast foods and they LOVE to watch TV. Most Americans haven't realised that American food is banned in Australia and most countries. And they think there's Kangaroo's hopping down the main streets in the City of Sydney.
