in less then 10 min Mikey just gave that lovely lady free promo !!! now that's how blessings work !!! She was so genuinely excited an happy that i felt it !!!!

[@gohdundee]

I felt it too. I was so happy for them.

[@kalinnavyacheslavovna2760]

She does actually thank every person just like she said, even if they don't buy anything she thanks them just for stepping onto her property. That family are pure blessings

[@cannibalronny7314]

That Lady and her daughter were a class apart,all my wishes to them.

[@mattfranklin6763]

Absolutely! Mikey absolutely made their day! And the daughter has to be on cloud nine to be apart of his show.. and to hear such amazing words!

Tf is wrong with ur name?

[@cannibalronny7314]

[@JennRighter]

@@cannibalronny7314 someone always has to try to troll a comment and bring people down. Ignore it, seriously. Maybe if everyone makes it a habit to ignore these people, they’ll eventually lose interest. They aren’t even making their own comments, they’re replying to others. Also, definitely a great name.

[@molee1803]

I hope the mother and daughter duo's restaurant skyrockets after this. They were incredibly sweet and humble 💕 So important to support small local businesses 😊. Also, if you're ever back in Atlanta, you should try O4W pizza in downtown Duluth. I recommend their Arancini, home made meatballs and Tony Pepperoni pizza. Cheers! 😊

[@kidsfirst3671]

Gumbo is my favorite food in the world!! The color of that roux is how you know! Thanks for supporting those sistahs!

[@robertbare1007]

I love a dark roux in my gumbo.

[@gideonTeli]

Same thing I thought... good color on that roux + it's not thick like an étouffée = that should be good gumbo.

I love that the place you chose to eat breakfast happened to be a place where a chef/the owner's daughter was such a huge fan of the channel, very charming moment.

[@cannibalronny7314]

Very classy family,the owner was wonderful

[@lightdanger]

Imagine coming into you family restaurant and a food youtuber you love comes up the walkway, then later exclaims just how much he likes your food. I think this first bit of the video is kinda perfect...

[@nobodyexceptme7794]

The genius of this channel is he can never run out of places to go or eat. There will always be a new restaurant.

[@shar8886]

That is so true!

[@howyhowitzer13]

Enter the insanity of Guy Fieri and triple D...at some point you lose your mind pretty sure...

[@lucasmelendez6586]

Yeah but what if people lose interest in watching people eat and travel? What to do then?

[@nobodyexceptme7794]

@@lucasmelendez6586 well travelogues have been around since man began to record his exploits so I dont think it will ever go anywhere. As long as you can spark someone's imagination with tales of a place full of different looking ppl, foods, languages, beliefs, and more that they can feasibly go and see one day....it's what the immigrant story is built around.

[@Picachki]

@@nobodyexceptme7794 I completely agree! It’s based off of cultural curiosity and the love of different cuisines. For those who can’t afford to travel or are home bound, they can live through other’s experiences. There’s so much magic in that.

[@swatisukriti9087]

I had already called it a night and then this video popped up! Couldn't resist watching. Those two women at the beginning are so lovely!

[@nottoday9182]

I hope they are really successful! They make a really nice atmosphere

Mikey Chen. Fans worldwide and state wide

[@LEN1211]

one of the most humble influencer. You don't know what the "Mikey Chen Effect"? Whenever you recommend, share or promote where you eat and what you eat. The restaurant gets more customers and eventually saves it during the pandemic. In short, you have the same as 'Oprah Winfrey Efeect" but in the food industry. God bless and stay safe.

In a few of your episodes you talk about what you cook in college when money was tight. I feel like you should do a cooking episode of college food cheap eats!

Mikey is the living embodiment of the Korean dining courtesy _mani mogo,_ which literally translates to "please eat a lot." 😆

[@VacationChris]

The woman who runs Cafe Porche & Snowbar and daughter seem AMAZING and I LOVE their vibe and sweetness!!!! Definitely going to be one of my first stops when I get out to NOLA!!!!!

[@heartoflotus]

What a lovely heartfelt greeting from the people who work at Cafe Porche! It made me want to go there because of their lovely energy.

[@bingusworshipper]

Welcome to Atlanta! Duluth has AMAZING Korean food. So glad you stopped in my hometown, lived in Gwinnett County for 16 years or so. Such good food. Thanks for showcasing it!

[@shuhao2817]

the food just taste 2× better when the restaurant makes you feel like home 😭 I remember going to a Korean restaurant in my city ( I am from India) they were so cute and amazing. they got so happy when we gave them tip too and the staff together just went thankyou!. it was the most adorable thing and made our day.

[@skatingcanuck9837]

When the owners/ staff are gracious and welcoming it always makes the food taste better and more memorable.

[@aroundtheworldinaprildays]

Mikey is basically a Korean now, the ahjummas want him back in Korea. Army stew is the best, this made me crave some. I don't care how much sodium there is, I will fill my tummy with as much as I want. 😆

[@bklyngirl913]

Budae jjigae was originally created out of struggle. Taking what was available, stewing it together to feed everyone. So no wonder it makes you remember your college struggle days and you find comfort in eating it!!

[@phoenixaleks]

Cafe Porche looked crazy good and the mother and daughter are so sweet!! You definitely made their day, good luck to them.

[@pyrodoll7137]

Food is love, this is a universal language. I love the mom daughter fan family at the beginning and how genuine their gratitude is. I can't wait to include them on my american food tour because everyone needs good gumbo and fried grits. As a younger person we had this rice, ramen, spam, and linguica dish we would cook, especially at parties when we spent 99% of the budget on beverages and such... I feel like that's the weird white person equivalent of army stew and I know it can't hold a candle to the real thing but sometimes nostalgia makes me wanna throw a can of spam and a cheap pack of gaspars at some ramen in sauce and see what happens. I can't wait til my kid asks me for food for a small crowd.... Eff mac and cheese, I'm bringing it back. LOL

I don't normally comment on things, but you are in my town in this video. The Ming's BBQ you went to is actually their second location. The big location is on Pleasant Hill Rd. There is also Iron Age ALL you can eat KBBQ in multiple locations around Atlanta. The biggest being on Pleasant Hill... Actually there is a ton on Pleasant Hill Rd you should try. Including but not limited to Sweet Hut, Snow Flake Tea House, J's Mini Hot Pot, Choong Man Chicken, and sooo many more. You were near the right place with Buford Highway for Dim Sum though. Place called Canton House. Just one Chinese guy recommending some places to another Chinese guy.
