She doesn't have to be ON camera! We just love that you have a person to share your food adventures with and talk about what you are eating! Her voice alone is a treat! You seem so happy and that makes your fans happy too! Keep eating and we'll keep watching!!

[@blitzblaze4707]

Something tells me that she's the recommendation from Mike's parents, i love it when parents choose your perfect destiny.

[@SnowClover]

She has such a pretty voice and cute laugh! i'm so happy for Mike, he seems so genuinely happy these days and it's awesome.

[@cdw1262]

I dunno the end is kind of weird when he’s having a full conversation with her but shes not on screen lol

[@ONEKITCHENONELIFE]

Should we go home

[@emmabee5027]

Fully agree! No need! They should have their privacy! :-) all the best mike! You truly deserve this!

I can see why they are together, she wanted dessert after a 4 lb burrito

I think Christine is going to take mikey to the next level. So happy for him been watching him for years and I never seen so much positive energy flowing from every angle for him. Congrats mikey. Always rooting for you my brother

Yes Jon Chal I totally agree. Hoping they be together for a very long time.

[@tamaramcrae4037]

His skin is clearer and brighter. He’s like glowing now. We will be with him along for the ride, things happen for a reason but the universe shifted in a way where he found someone. Ask the universe for things and it will give it to you💖

I spy something 22:46 👀 💍

[@MsBebegurl0212]

Idk. I hope so. But he will need to balance his work with actual dining without a camera. That will probably get slightly irritating after a while. Plus she sounds super young. If it was any other celebrity I would be grossed out. I think he has finally decided to get serious so I hope she is THE one because I am sure she will be wanting a family and honestly, he is in his 40s I think. It's getting kinda late in the game, right? He really always struck me as a very singular person too, usually going everything alone..we will see. I am rooting for them!

[@NicoleEsp86]

You are such a smitten lil kitten. So happy for you that you've found somebody that makes you smile like that--it's a feeling unlike any other. Happiness and hope for you both. 💜

[@corlissmedia2.0]

I’m really enjoying the narrative with Christine’s contribution. The conversation sounds authentic and natural. She’s bringing out a new side of you, and it’s making this show better in my opinion.

Not that you seemed unhappy in your past videos, but I really love the genuine joy that you show in these videos with Christine. You deserve all the best and more, Mikey! :)

OMG! Wifey and I just left Henry’s and we got their encherrito and WOW you said that it was about 2lbs in this video but, when they came to our table our eyes were as big as the burrito!! Got a puffy taco and cheese enchiladas and all was delicious!!! The service and atmosphere was great!! Thank you!!!

The best thing about Henry's Puffy Taco is the servers, they are the nicest people. I should know I live in San Antonio.

I've lived in San Antonio almost my whole life and Henrys Puffy is a must, yes, BUT I'm intrigued now by the empanadas. So thanks for the love! And no lie about the sunsets and storms LOL! Also to not stop at Buccees is a crime in Texas
