In my opinion, i do love Sonny’s voiceover more because it’s sounded more enthusiastic. and plus, we all love sonny, that’s why we follow this channel aren’t we 🫣🤭🤭

[@TullyTeja1982]

Thank you for pointing it out. I love to listen reviews from his voice... Sooo authentic and from his heart.

[@peterreily1490]

Who doesn’t love bill? Bills great!

[@FighterPL]

agree

[@hollish196]

You took the words out of my mouth! This was wonderful instead of merely interesting. Sonny makes all the difference. Enthusiasm and intense interest.

[@randyschwaggins]

Ur 💯 right! When I first saw Sonny's channel (maybe 6 years ago) I didn't like it as much as the other food vloggers...Wiens, Mike Chen and Food Ranger. Maybe it was the editing or maybe it was that they had already established a video personality...with the 'WOW's and the bits of humour...i don't know. But as time as gone by...and it's been like this for over a year...while those other guys have become tired and repetitive, Mikey has gone from strength to strength! Not only is the editing of his videos top notch...as a personality he has become far far better than the others. He really understands food from a taste perspective - and that makes his commentary real in each video. I honestly think that Wiens has no idea about food at all...and Mike Chen just seems to go through the motions and say the same thing these days - no matter what he eats! I'll admit that Food Ranger seems to know more about food than the others but his personality is nowhere near Sonny's. I'm not being paid for these comments btw!!! But honestly though...Sonny has done an amazing job and it's been a real pleasure to see his evolution over the past years! ❤

[@Southernbredbread]

Nothing against the other voice over artists but Sonny is on another level and just kills it! His enthusiasm and personality you can hear through the narration.

Kolkata is one of the most affordable cities, and the street food variety is almost unparalleled.

[@yon6102]

[@souvikdeb2523]

Calcutta street food in itself is by far the most cosmopolitan food in India's already cosmopolitan food scene. A wonderful blend of Bengali (the predominant taste), Chinese, Nepali/Tibetan, Armenian, English, Mughlai and various Indian influences, the food is extremely diverse and innovative. The Chinese influence is quite strong in Calcutta, probably because it has not one, but TWO Chinatowns. Also, the Chinese community here has assimilated with the local Bengali population to create the gem that we refer to as 'Indo-Chinese'.

[@Kathakathan11]

But not pan India food. So sad

[@souvikdeb2523]

@@Kathakathan11 There are many pan-Indian food options too (like Malayali, Goan, Tamil, Maharashtrian, North Indian etc). But I'm talking about 'fusion' between Indian and non-Indian cuisines. For example, 'Dolma' is a very popular dish that is common in Bengali households. It arrived with the Armenians, who in turn learned it from the Turks. Bengali households use pointed gourd (potol) and a fish filling to make dolma instead of the original Armenian/Turkish variant where they don't use pointed gourd (they use large peppers like Capsicum) and minced meat (usually lamb or beef).

Just feels right with Sonny's voice haha I dont think a host in shot is needed, I could watch this all day

[@revinaque1342]

I'm here for Sonny's voiceovers! There's no point in using the Best Ever Food Review Show branding without Sonny 😄

[@LordLOC]

Why? Why can't they branch out without Sonny's voice for videos like this? It's not like he's IN India for these videos after all. The community didn't give that lady who did the original voice over any chance whatsoever, which is weird.

[@revinaque1342]

@@LordLOC Because Best Ever Food Review Show is Sonny's brand. People come here for his style, his humor. If Sonny isn't part of the production, they may as well just call it something else

[@LordLOC]

@@revinaque1342 So, again, why can't they branch out? If they are trying to build their brand, why does Sonny have to be the face of everything they do? That's going to be a problem when they have 3, 4, 5 channels going, or just post more and more videos.

[@revinaque1342]

Sonny, I've watched just about all of your videos, but these dishes speak to me! I LOVE both Indian and Chinese foods, but to have such a fusion is next level!

[@lonelyalaskan7208]

This is not just a food & travel channel ....This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old woman. 🥰🥰🥰

[@jestinjoseph6166]

Finally, Sonny did what he should have done earlier, no offense to the lady who was voicing the videos earlier but I don't think you can replace Sonny so easily.

Now I understand why I love Sonny's vids so much. He is the essence of the videos. I tried watching the other vids but I just cant bring myself to enjoy them subjectively speaking. No one can replace you in your videos Sonny. I think you shouldnt event try anyone else's voiceover

[@salmanel-farsi3744]

Really liked this variety of formats describing the dishes and getting the customers or owners to comment.

[@drmiteshtrivedi]

All the food looks amazing. Chix lollipops, Momos, and Chilli Chix Sticky Sauce are now on my top list of foods to try

[@brennap3310]

I loved hearing the prononunciation of the words, but feel like the essense is in Sonny. Maybe a combo, so we get the full 'authentic' 😂 experience. Love love that you heard our comments loud and clear ❤

[@Sniperboy5551]

I agree with you, I love then Indian accent, but Sonny’s voiceover is just a million times better. She was putting me to sleep, honestly.

[@hakeemraphael]

ooh boy that soundtrack...its just blending with the preparation and the naration 😇

[@ikoyDaPnoy]

Sonny, whether it's his voice or his presence just adds so much more to the show.

[@lynnking4451]

Yes! Sonny!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Around the 6:45 mark…I was thinking…this style reminds me of Hu-Hot in the US! 😂 Soooo good to hear your voiceover!! 🙌🏻❤️

I love sonny’s voice. I cant watch the other videos till the end. I think it should keep it like this. 💓

[@lynnking4451]

Right?! No offense to the other person…but yeah…I think ‘her’ voice is better suited for calming stories that one might listen to while going to sleep. 😴 But seeing a food show…I need the spunk, fire, & fun…maybe it’s just me…😉🍔🌭🍜❤

[@WorldwideFoodFinds]

This is really interesting, Chinese street food is becoming so famous around the world, You can find these type of many food carts of Chinese street food in Pakistan too.

[@nhtashu]

This is really a good business plan. You hire local content creators to send you food vlogs and you simply do a voice-over. You save money and time and the content creator learns and earns money which she/he might not be able to earn in her/his own channel as she/he doesn't have the reach that Sunny has. Win-win for both.

[@rahuldeashi5892]

Thanks for Visiting Kolkata - The City Of Joy. The best budgeted place for food lovers across India if not wrong. Next time if you visit Kolkata for Indo-Chinese food please do Visit - Chinese food - Tangra - Beijing Restaurant / Kimling Restaurant / Big Boss Restaurant / Golden Joy Restaurant etc, Hatari Restaurant (Kamalgazi), Terreti Bazaar (early morning). There are some other place also. Cheap and best variety street food stalls near - Esplanade area, Dalhousie area - in front Reserve Bank of India - street food, Decars Lane - Chitto Babur dokan, Shyam Bazaar area etc. Lots and lots of street food stalls crops up each and every day.

[@Ghostbear2k]

It's funny... So far in the other videos we had vegetarian dishes (unless I missed something), which, as a vegetarian, I liked very much. India has some awesome vegetarian dishes and the cuisine ranks among my favorites. But as soon as Sonny joins, there's the meat. 😄 No judging here, just eat what you prefer .. I just found it funny.

[@srijitmajumder99]

​@@manankukreti8906I guess ignorants remain ignorants, so I won't say much. I'll just say, these people of Kolkata are not Tibetians, but Hakka Chinese, an ethnically Chinese people, who migrated to India,settled in Kolkata during British Raj, and never left. Till date, they do not have Indian Aadhar cards, but live in India. They even refuse UPI payments as they aren't "Indian". These people are what constitutes the "Chinatown" of Kolkata. And also, Tibetian food is much different than Chinese, but I suppose you are that ignorant to even research it, simply because Tibetian food is much more suited to you and so you say Tibetian=Chinese. Because you cannot even imagine the Chinese foods available in Kolkata.
