$300 Crabster! 10 Pound MONSTER Seafood Platter!

[@derrickallen8138]

The travel channel did you a disservice. Feels like they toned down your energy and awkwardness

[@XeroJin84]

it's like if they gave Mark Wein a TV show, they don't show his reactions after eating something.

[@BestEverFoodReviewShow]

@@XeroJin84 Haha true.

[@pakdolan]

@@BestEverFoodReviewShow the're trying to turn you into a generic presenter. Their loss.

[@SidraNeelum]

Exactly!!!

[@Multicocco123]

What happend???

[@juuzoux2130]

I like how his personality didn’t change, if anything he was able to be more himself when he moved to KZbin

[@johnnyo6473]

I actually saw these 2 pilot shows late at night when they aired and I was like holy s*it this is Sonny! Good for him! Was excited for the show but your KZbin channel is 1000% better with allowing your tire humor to shine through!👍

[@jules3048]

I see why it didn't make it. They ruined your humor etc. Your show is waaayy better.

[@BestEverFoodReviewShow]

Thanks!

[@dakka76]

I was thinking the exact same thing! They cut the best parts...lol

[@ShaneyPo0]

I absolutely love how the internet can come together in perfect harmony and restrain themselves from hitting that thumbs button under your comment and leave it at a Wholesome figure.

[@njaydreams]

I second this!

[@Ryan-wx8of]

It seems like they wanted to make a show for older white women with a more traditional host, not the Python hunting weirdo we all love to watch.

[@MadamFoogie]

No wonder these videos are so educational. He used to be a teacher! Makes perfect sense now. Always learning stuff with Sonny.

[@fredgoh5044]

honest truth Sonny, your regular videos are a million times slicker than what the TV crew did! kudos to your crew! when i watch it, i can see the beginnings of your unique style. i have been following your channel since you were less than 100k subscribers and i am so pleased to watch you and your channel grow in both style and content. through it all, i am glad you still retained the same Sonny style, the same look you give when you put nice food in your mouth, most of all i love the fact that I have never seen you ever criticize a food you eat. thats class dude. keep it up Sonny!

[@xman870096]

As far as the TV show goes, I think the reason it didn't make it was because 'they' sucked all the 'flavor' out of it. If they'd just let you be YOU it would have gone over much better with the audience, exactly like your present 'home grown' production does. I'm sure you've read many times in the comments that 'they' should give you your own show, and yes it's true; but they would have to let you have more 'creative control' of it.... But of course 'they' always think they know better.... In the end you've proved that you're better off doing your own thing...

[@macmike8329]

Considering this lockdown I wish someone, female preferred, would "suck all the flavor outta me"...

[@doddgarger6806]

This is so often the case

[@tinaveneable6127]

Yes, I would love that show!

[@mr.q337]

The truth has been spoken =))) Preach it brother

[@foonghuang8191]

Good lord, the crabster looks so good I'd risk my hit or miss allergic reaction to shellfish..

[@scottschults]

Honestly, its more entertaining when you have creative control, thats why I watch you and don't have cable TV

[@qmoney414]

During quarantine, still keeping people satisfied with the great content ! 👍

[@jdkgcp]

Ahhh memories. Back before Sonny shot a rifle like a n00b and has a permanent scar for life now. lol

[@BestEverFoodReviewShow]

Hi Sonny, I've been watching your shows for years now... I've loved to watch them on Travel and Living Channel.. Since i keep travelling, I don't get to watch them on TV now.. But i'm so glad i get to see you on youtube.. I live in Oman, and I enjoyed your show on Oman. U deserve 5 stars man.. Good Job. Love to watch you on TV... Keep up the good work...

[@harisizumi993]

6:50 The lady has the cutest smile!

[@tigeriussvarne177]

This "Hogma" looks almost like a dish from Rheineland Palatine in German, called Saumagen. Good to see that the Amish didn't forget the good german food.

[@TheLordFragger]

My thought exacly.

[@ksh755]

Amish People moved to the US from Southern Germany. You will see a lot of German influence in their food.

[@jenniferbeathea7906]

German and Dutch😊

[@Kelnx]

Most of them still speak German, so I don't think they forgot much. In fact, I'd say the average German has forgotten far more about old Germany than these people have, considering they keep living in a 19th century fashion.

[@shakerps711]

Nancy was the sweetest lady ever! But at around 6:00 I couldn't help but see her thumb bleeding while handling the meat. And you can see a little before that she was looking at it and squeezed it with a paper towel. Then later when they eating she did have a band-aid on it too🤪 Bless her heart, she was probably really nervous being on camera and hoped he didn't notice it!

[@tevaughnwilliams618]

This is the best show I don’t have to pay for 😊 Thanks sonny

[@barbarakurtz7244]

Between you moving to Asia to teach and that giggle, I'm in love.

[@donniehoward7830]

Great show Sonny!! But I'm glad you're in S.E. ASIA doing what you're doing!! I just hope you're making a living buddy!! Later...

[@popupin]

As much as I'd love to see you on TV so I can watch with my dad, I'm glad you've been able to create a big audience here on youtube, these videos have helped me, and many others I'm sure, through some rough times!

[@brianw.1649]

When I was a little boy my grandparents lived in Sarasota. EVERYONE had one of those trikes and road them everywhere. It was so cool to see you riding one, it brought back such great memories!!!

[@joycec5556]

It’s TV loss and our (KZbin viewers) gain that the pilot didn’t get the green!! :) been enjoying BEFRS since 2 years back! Keep on producing! I love the humor and editing :D

[@Hokuto_Tongi]

I would’ve definitely watched your show. I grew up watching Andrew Zimmern and Anthony Bourdain 😅 Also the bandana is smart because now we see the bandana and think of you and your channel, plus it wicks up the sweat.

[@ishratkhan8540]

Befrs is true love❤️😍kudos to sonny for catching the snake!! What courage hats off!!

[@themanonthestreet]

I really think that they were trying to take your slight Anthony Bordainish style and run with it. You are Sonny, not Anthony. I selfishly admit that I am glad you weren't placed into the box that most of these shows are made from.

[@DarkRaivenMoon]

You doing your own thing here on KZbin without outside Hollywood interference, is MUCH better I think. Keep being you Sonny- I love your humor and commentary and experiencing the world and the cultures and their amazing and sometimes weird foods!

[@MeltWithU]

Dude, that seafood combo meal looked incredible. Definitely going to make a beeline down there when I get to Florida. Thank you for sharing it. Travel Channel or whoever past on the show, stupid move. The good thing is, you don’t have to make 2000 or $5000 an episode, if even that. You can make the majority of your profits and split them up between your staff. Gives you much more freedom and you don’t have to be under of the thumb of whoever the hell is running the network at the time. Bless you my friend, I truly appreciate watching. If you get up to Ocean City Maryland, I’d love to take you to different incredible restaurants around the area.

[@calnative4904]

The Crabster looks so damn delicious 🦀

[@66hardtail]

You hit the seafood jackpot Sonny. Lol. Looks delicious. 😋

[@jacquibradley1598]

I live in Cyprus, only recently became a subie, but love your vloggs, bloggs, uploads, more interesting than any I have seen before, great stuff Sonny. Well done, never become a Patreon, not money honey, I am 64

[@danabrinkley6438]

I love your KZbin channel way more than any travel/food show on tv. Your just so unbridled and hilarious. Tv doesn't deserve you💓

[@bjw4859]

That crab head combo is now on my bucket list, butter sauce is now my favourite word.

[@KeithKM-m6q]

Sonny and Andrew Zimmern on a show about adventurous food...ridiculous! Would watch it all day long. Both from Minnesota

[@Djulio]

I'm glad it didn't get picked up - else some of us would've probably never even have heard of it, with it being shown in the US only. And not to even mention how much of the content that Sonny provides would've been cut due to some restriction for TV or some people with their bland ideas for what would be interesting to watch. Cheers, Sonny, you and your team are doing great and better than what would've come out of this.

[@mildredbenmahdi4678]

It should have definitely aired on tv! Very informative

[@JLCoast]

There’s this show on history channel named “eating history” and they literally buy and eat old expired foods . If that can be a show ,you should definitely have a show on discovery channel ,forget the travel channel no one watches that lol.

[@micrhymer4062]

This goes to show that some failures are necessary for your success. Gives me new inspiration.

[@benjaminafu7075]

Sonny I’m a big fan of your channel and thought I’d let you know I’m glad that show didn’t take off because I feel you wouldn’t have shown us all these other foods. Not to mention all the clothes and stuff your channel comes up with. Thanks!

[@benjaminafu7075]

Also, can you do some food reviews down in the Polynesian Islands?

[@marisacarrasco2458]

Thank you for always giving me awesome video to look forward to.

[@elizabthharris6741]

Should be picked up as a show as YOU DO IT NOW! THAT is what sells!

[@flailingelbows7073]

Wow I never knew you moved there as a teacher originally. Outstanding progress Sunny, I adore your videos and hope you see this!

[@bryleicraig6658]

As an avid lover of dumplings, I haven't seen many that are shaped like the eye that's inside it (or shaped like an eye at all really). To me, that shows respect to the fish. & I love that!

[@OGLenaLaw]

Rewatching this just because it's funny and I CANNOT BELIEVE they cut out the merman footage! That would have been so fun to see!

[@vincentsabatino4480]

The Crabster was my favorite and I'm really ,really, Sure it was yours also by your reAction to the abundance of Flavors ! Thoroughly enjoyed this Presentation ! Really like your approach to different Cultures and Ethnic Foods ! Bravo !

[@robindram]

After watching this pilot and comparing it to your show, they would have stifled your creativity and character that we all have come to enjoy. A show like that would have only been ok but we can all agree that we're glad it didn't take off.

[@filipefmelo]

If any profession deserves success is teaching. I'm glad a teacher is getting some good youtube money. You go Sonny!

[@great-grandmakirk8828]

Omg the lobster giant killed me, I would have never left before I ate the whole thing. I think this show should have been picked up it was fun.👍🏻

[@stilcrazychris]

Your show now is way better. They was trying to tone you down & make you into something your not. So I'm glad it didn't get picked up. Bc I would of never got to see your lovely face, I don't have cable & therefore I can sink my teeth into that 10 lbs of crab meat, shrimp, lobster & more meal. All bc I've saved the $$$ by not having cable TV. Woohoo how do I find that Crab house in Florida. But I'll have to wait till the COVID-19 virus ban lifts to travel. Everyone be safe & God bless us all durning this dang COVID-19 virus, Chris from Missouri

[@GobyTSB]

those fish eye dumplings look AMAZING omfg

[@jt414]

Liked parts of the pilot -- I think you look SSSSOOOO much better without the bandana! And with letting your hair grow a little -- -- much more eye appealing to go with the food -- -- the Amish food and the seafood at the mermaid place looked fabulously delicious WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE EATING WITH YOU 😋
