Asking Strangers to Eat at the World's Best Restaurant

[@cantbendknee]

You have an open heart Nathaniel. I also like the way you also asked older people if they wanted to join the adventure and didn't just approach people your own age.

[@annasushko2572]

I was almost crying at the end of the video. It's much more than just about a dinner at the restaurant. It shows how similar we all are, how much in common we have with people around, how beautiful the world is and how priceless it is to share your love with people without expecting to get smth back! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

This kept a smile on my face the whole time. It was not only amazing to see the experience of the restaurant and garden, but the creation of bonds between people who had previously nothing to tie them together. Thank you for this art!

[@TeodoraTudor]

So true 🦋❤

[@yjs22]

This brought me to tears. I felt an overwhelming sense of relief and joy especially living through a pandemic and having everything shut down. I know everything has opened up again, but now there is this fear to go up to strangers because I'm afraid to be in their personal space. I love sparking up conversations and learning about other people. This was such a nice reminder and motivation to start doing that again. I absolutely love making connections with others.

[@DailyShit.]

Same. I was on the first concert in 2,5 years and I just noticed how anxious I got. I always was a introvert but holy fuck.

[@vhahahaha]

damn bro. the content, the editing, the music. as cringe as it may sound, this is a piece of art and it brought tears to my eyes.

[@FytchVz]

[@stefandesu]

Not cringe at all, totally relatable!

[@lorenzoe.leonard4160]

I'm starting to hate the word “cringe”. Express what you think, who gives a fuck about others

[@JustSomeAussieGamer]

As a chef, I felt the Hospo guy in the feels. We spend so much time perfecting our craft, working, serving on others & usually compared with other industries, the $$ isn't considered high. The days we do get off, these incredible places aren't always open, so when we do get to experience things like this, it is incredible.

[@andreaandrea6716]

Yes!

[@loomyyy17]

"don't worry I brought the goggles" 😂😂 this was so wholesome, the end had me tearing up while also smiling like an idiot. To see how grateful everyone was to have shared this experience and seeing strangers forming a unique bond that will last them a lifetime

[@vmvm949]

yesss i was smiling the whole time too! wholesomeness definitely defines this video, what a experience!

[@lancechennault1231]

in a world where being asked on an adventure by a stranger would be frowned up, your video actually made me believe in humanity again, no ulterior motives, just asking strangers to have an adventure. You never know what lies around the next bend, but saying yes to that adventure probably allowed them to experience something that they will cherish and talk about for the rest of their lives. Thank you Nathaniel for this video.

[@paromitadey9558]

I wish there were more people as free spirited as you. People like you makes people like me creep out of their shells. I am just six minutes into the video but I wish I was one among those strangers. I need people like you around me who would make to get out and enjoy what is out there and what I actually want to enjoy but don't have the courage to do.

[@GeorgiexoxoTV]

such a beautiful comment!! I feel just the same! ❤❤❤

[@Whenwintersleeps]

Why not try becoming that person for yourself? :) I mean no disrespect but I used to think like that a lot and honestly just let life pass me by without ever doing the things I really wanted to do. I'm not saying you have to do a complete 180 on your personality - it's not about becoming someone else. You can play around a little though, imagine what "a free spirited person" would say to you, how they would act and integrate that into your own self talk. Again it's not about becoming someone else, although I do believe that if you yearn for people like that ultimately youre yearning for a way of being that you already possess deep within yourself! You're kinda yearning for yourself if that makes sense? That was my case anyway. And that's the whole point of trying to integrate another type of self talk, it really is about advocating for yourself to... well to yourself lol Also, it might seem kinda unfair but that's actually the best way to attract those precious "free spirited people" Anyway I hope you don't take this the wrong way, it just feels weird to read your comment, it's like reading myself a few years ago. Good luck with everything :)

[@uhnotinterested]

The courage will be built by doing it. This way you learn slowly that there is actually nothing to be afraid of. This courage will slowly convert into confidence. It's a muscle that needs to be trained.

[@taka9466]

Would you have said yes when a stranger on a street asks you to join for an adventure?

[@Pezerinno]

@@taka9466 I would have said no which makes me sad to think about :(

[@Luke94piano]

I'm sure this video resonates with all of us. Sharing food is really a form of connective with one another. Best video you ever produced Nathaniel, it would be great to see another experience with the same group of people after a year time frame or more. Please publish any extra footage if you have, cheers from Italy!

[@__somnii]

That was bloody brilliant Nathaniel. I wish I knew more people that really see the beauty in life and cherish it like you do

[@andreaandrea6716]

This made me cry at the end. That was one of the loveliest gestures; asking strangers out to an extraordinary restaurant! And it's YOU who made it so beautiful with your enthusiasm and love. I couldn't believe it was Menton! I used to visit Menton in the '80s and '90s, taking the train down from Paris, where I lived. I would arrive all grey and emaciated, to stay with my friends, Jack and Charlotte (writer and painter). And I would leave full of colour and less depressed. The light in Paris is stark ... but the light in the Menton is pink and blue. Nathaniel, you carry the light within you!

Next time we meet can we pretend we are strangers? 🤪

Okay so I’m not the type of persons who leaves comments under videos but this time I had to. At first I was just amazed by the fact that this video was filmed in the city I live in, but then it became a surreal experience and I started crying at the end of the video. You reminded me how beautiful it was to share and bond with strangers. So just for that, thank you so much!!

Probably one of the best videos you've ever made. What an amazing masterpiece. Everybody can connect through food, even when its by watching this video.

I'm a very introverted and shy person, but I have always wanted to do something like this. I have always had a hard time meeting people and making friends, and I tend to spend most of my days completely alone (which I absolutely love, don't get me wrong). However, it would be nice to get out of my shell and take a chance on experiencing something I never will unless I just go for it. Whenever I watch your videos, I always think to myself, "I could do this too, what's stopping me? What am I so afraid of?" Thank you for another wonderful video, Nathaniel. I hope to see more videos like this in the future! ❤️

As cheesy as this may sound, I feel like I become a better person just by learning so much from you. You’re honestly so amazing that I’ve never felt such gratitude to be a subscriber to ANY KZbin channel. 💛

[@forestreee]

For all the stranger - danger narrative we get fed (which is not without it’s merits, better safe than sorry!), this video shows to us that most people are joyous and friendly, and not everyone is out there to rob you. The world, and humanity is still a wonderful place and the fears of the few should not scare us away from the joys of the many. Really great video, and I admire the amount of courage it took for both you to take the initiative, and for the “strangers” to go to a place they didn’t know, with people they didn’t know.

Our brains work the same, so it’s really interesting to hear you work through things and experience things because it’s like watching myself go through that experience.

[@liltrench5862]

Watching this made me feel good and had me very emotional at the end. As an introvert, doing something like that is very scary, but the outcome was amazing.
