[@dryroasted5599]

Truthfully, I think the four of you were so thrilled to be together that you could have eaten hot dogs and been just as happy. What an experience!

[@MrGilperc]

I was smiling through the whole video. You are lucky to have the parents and brother you have.

[@cindybuck6963]

As the mother of two sons, I was so touched by the effort that went in to planning this special day for the parents. I smiled and cried watching it. What an extraordinary family!

[@michalsoldat8548]

I have the impression that your parents did a very good job raising you to be such an interesting, intelligent and open person.

[@rubinagomes2950]

"dad is always thinking about food." that made me laugh so hard😆 This was so fun and heart warming to watch. Thank you Drew crew!💖

[@pedroglcbarros]

This is it, man! This is the goal! Being able to provide for your loved ones, the moments, the experiences. Nothing else matters. Congratulations Nathaniel! My respect and admiration for you as a person is utmost!

[@dionline88]

I'm not a mom but even I was in tears when Sky finally got there to join the rest of you. What a super evening for you and your family. That is something that you'll remember for the rest of your lives. Was it expensive? Yeah, but like you said, the experience for the ones you love was absolutely worth it. Thank you for sharing your experience. My life feels richer for having 'been there' with you.

[@trijbijop]

this video has me crying. the passion that you four radiate together is just mesmerizing and contagious. what a beautiful experience.

[@Renanleandro18]

I always say that someone is a reflection of of their parents and you’re the perfect definition of it. Your parents are the sweetest and the cutest!!! My God! You’re the luckiest guy in the world! Your mom has such a pure eyes and so does your dad! You have a beautiful family Nathaniel! 🩶

[@alee5106]

This made me tear up, too, thinking how lovely it would love to do something like this with my loved ones. Well done!

[@marijapopic2778]

Sir, can you please stop making me cry every time I open one of your videos? Your storytelling is truly three-dimensional! 😍 It's such a beautiful surprise, and what I enjoy the most about your family is that you all exude so much love for life that it's just purely therapeutic to watch. Thank you for sharing! 🥰

[@elkoussamihaitem9215]

Your mom is really an ICON !!

[@mickandtraceycope7826]

Such a special gift for everyone. A memory, together...To last foever.

[@lyndaplancarte4895]

Love that your mother's entire face smiles with happiness and excitement!! Your parents did a great job raising you and with that base you are going on to become a very intelligent and thoughtful person.

[@shawuntiel]

I just wanna say your videos have inspired me in a lot of ways through the time I've followed you. I appreciate your videos a lot.

[@MishaElRusito]

Love it when you all get together. The energy is crazy! Lol

[@ChaiTogether]

Wow the expression and depth of your dad enjoying the food. ❤

[@kaytim414]

The love between mother and son at the end there was so palpable and wonderful to experience. Thank you for bringing us along for the ride 💖💖💖

[@anneism]

I just moved to Paris from New York -- where my entire family is and has been my entire life. The feelings you shared about cherishing the time with them when they're close to you are all the more relatable now that I'm across the world from my own parents and sister and missing out on those special moments. As always, love your videos and appreciate your stories!

[@nadir7627]

I really agree with you, but don’t worry, time does the job ;)

[@jeffinabnit9819]

With a family of 4 boys living all over the US and Finland, we really appreciated the reunion aspect of this video. We’ve followed your parents on their journey to France since we are hopefully doing the same next year. It was also fun to see KJ pop up as we have followed their story as well. Great video!

[@ritchiewong16]

Hi Nathaniel 👋, Nothing made my day more than watching you and Sky surprise your parents with a touching reunion in your newest video. Sending you lots of love!!! ❤️❤️❤️🤗

[@anjelikapernstich]

How many other families like this are out there in the world? What you guys have and what you have built relationship-wise is truly incredible. Good on you for doing something like this for the people you love, this money is well spent. Lots of love to you all!

[@ChristellaBihozo]

This is so heartwarming! I would also recommend the restaurant “Le train bleu” in Gare de Lyon - wayyy more affordable but still high-end the restaurant is absolutely stunning (like a renaissance museum really) and the food is also insane!

[@instaLuke]

Thanks for insipiring me to build upon my relationship with my parents. This piece almost brought me to tears and will be showing it to them. Beautiful, just so beautiful.

[@amyspeers8012]

Your father speaks A LOT about food in his videos so I knew he would love it. My husband and I ate at a Michelin star restaurant in Italy for our 30th anniversary and had a similar experience…minus the view. But being there together is what made the video. Much love from Gensac-your neighbor in the SW.

[@lidewijvos]

I loved the video. You have an amazing family and family dynamic ❤️

[@emccirculed]

This family is everything I could hope to cultivate in my own. Definitely cried at the initial reunion with brother. Thank you, Drew 🫶🏻

[@gregwoodin5630]

So wholesome 🥲 your mom is so sweet

[@daleincisions]

You were so lucky to have them bro in your current life right now . I feel so happy watching this . I wish i have this kind of loving and cheering family that I always wanted but never had ... Thank you for giving this feeling bro .

[@Ellary_Rosewood]

I hope that one day I'll be able to give my mom an experience like this. ❤

[@Brumethefairy]

This video made me happy just watching you and your family ! That's so sweet. And so special that Hedi was there. You offered him an incredible experience 2 years ago and now you were able to live that thanks to him. The power of kindness and generosity

[@chickolat]

i dont have parents and the moment your brother surprised your parents, i haven't stopped crying and smiling throughout the whole video. Thanks for sharing a bit of your life with us. Your parents are such beautiful humans :-)

[@1979France]

I was smiling the whole time I was watching this. So heartwarming, so much fun. And the fact your mom said it was the best experience in her life… simply amazing.

[@coolbreeze5683]

Lovely video! This is what life's about. You and your family will have those memories forever ❤

[@SamFournier]

This made me teary eyed. Seeing you all together and having such a great time with family is so heartwarming. Being able to bless your parents with such a delicious meal at the Eiffel Tower is so special! It’s so hard being far away from my family and only getting to see them once a year so this video was extra special to watch! You’re so good at creating these masterpieces❤

[@shuffleaccount1985]

thank you so much for taking us along on this Amazing evening !!!! your a wonderful Son with a beautiful Family...and, I got this cool new phone too? well done you

[@jonas.zehnder]

Such a beautiful moment. Good to see you all together again and smiling from ear to ear. Great job on the suprises Nathaniel you crushed it.

[@AB-ok8lu]

im two minutes in and crying because the joyfulness that exudes from your parents is contagious! What a fun couple of people. they have that spark for life that you obviously inherited. keep sharing.

[@TravelwithLizzie]

I love surprising my parents when I live abroad - so joyous and special! I've now moved back to Australia to reconnect and spend time with them in person after a long virtual relationship. Nothing beats a hug from my mum and an outdoor adventure with dad. Enjoy this time together 🖤

[@bbacalhau]

What a heart warming video dude! Loved every second of it!

[@null33334]

Really appreciate this video, Nathaniel! I myself realized that when we are younger we are striving to be independent, far from our home - making the future for ourselves, just to prove ourselves worthy to the world. But as we age, we always look to reconnect and get back with our parents, realizing how important the family community is. Been following your work since the days in Mexico! Really happy to see all your progress, great work!

[@amandabradley6256]

Well I’m NOT crying……I have 3 beautiful boys like yourselves. Perfection guys….

[@rae1467]

always crying while watching your videos. as mama said, "thank you for sharing" .

[@TheOisSilent]

The end brought tears when your mom said thank you! beautiful :')

[@stevies6294]

Very cool to see you sharing this amazing moments with your family

[@feliciadelina]

Non-stop smiling through the second half! And the sight of all 4 of you walking up the stairs with cameras haha I love it :)

[@rathernotsayatall]

A life's dream!

[@TCamp72a]

You literally have me teared up, surprising your parents with your brother! The restaurant is impressive, but surprising your parents was the gold for me!

[@melindamorgane8540]

It was so beautiful to watch you and your family enjoy this experience together… And watching makes it even more evident to me why you are such an amazing person. Your parents are incredible. Your family unit is divine. 🥰

[@VisitorsWelcome]

One of the finest videos on KZbin, with outstanding storytelling, filming, and editing. It was a joy to watch your family reunite and share a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

[@ShiivaWilding]

You're whole family seem like the best kind of people, wishing you all nothing but the best!

[@kevindavis5693]

It amazes me how much cheaper Europe is than the United States. I just spent 10 days traveling from London to Rome through Paris, Lucerne, Venice, and Florence and I couldn’t get over how reasonable everything was cost wise. We were warned Lucerne and Switzerland in general would give us sticker shock, but what I paid for a delicious Swiss beer is what I’d pay for a bottle of yeungling at the shitty dive bar down the street from where I live. And I live in the poverty stricken part of New York State. 275 euros a plate seems like an absolute steal to me at a Michelin star restaurant in the Eiffel Tower. I’ve spent more than that at a just a normal restaurant in my city and it was only 3 courses. By the way Paris ended up being my favorite city of the entire trip, totally understand why you moved there, until you’ve visited it you really can’t comprehend how beautiful it is.

[@GreenWitch1]

What a great experience for your parents & you and your brother! This brought tears to my eyes. I haven’t had my family under one roof in years 😭

[@EllaSHeath]

This whole thing is so wholesome, Nathaniel, I love your family. Very inspiring.

[@obieandfraerco]

This made me so happy. What a beautiful family you guys are.

[@tanettemeditationsforwellb8866]

Thank you for your story telling SO MAGICAL !!

[@GrunonFeliz]

What a beautiful glimpse. Thank you.

[@ip.edro.channel]

Watching you guys is always a reminder of how beautiful life can be. Thank you!

[@Pezerinno]

This was beautiful. Brought a tear to my eye

[@josetteblackburn2253]

You, your Dad and your family have the best videos on KZbin! Always learning, enlightening, sharing, joyful and feel good moments. Thank you!

[@micheletotton9342]

I can totally see why you are such a nice guy, your parents are amazing

[@judytran3514]

[@Lepewhi]

What a good son. Must have had good parents.

[@romangerardo7068]

[@conservativemovement]

How wonderful. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@knw-seeker6836]

Man seems like you guys did have so much fun Your parents are really cool and down to earth people

[@tanyasmiles]

This video made me so happy and also made me cry. So beautiful.

[@michelletheitaliagal]

Thank you for sharing this with us too! Your family is one of the best to watch having such an experience!

[@Scully331]

I am not crying, you are crying. That was beautiful.

[@deborahdownie8039]

I love this sooooooo much! An incredible gift and adventure for you all.

[@DanDylan]

And the influence has can have on his parents ! This is inspiring!

[@marydawnpafford9969]

So satisfying to experience this with your lovely family. Bravo!!

[@vinessapolender235]

Truthfully that was beautiful. How blessed you are.

[@kata5182]

What an experience! Thank you for sharing it with us all. Cheers!

[@michaelmaz]

Every time I see this I ball my eyes out. Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@MichelleMocke]

Bless your heart. What a beautiful thing to do for your parents, and for your family❤

[@annquirke4008]

That was truly wonderful to see. What a beautiful family. Love you guys ❤🤩🥰

[@phoebe2584]

What a lovely, lovely thing to do for your parents! Truly a once in a lifetime experience!

[@leelynch8927]

You are such a wise young man! Thank you especially for this and your previous video. Really made me stop to ponder how I want to live each day for the rest of my life. What a gift you have given us, your viewers. Thank you. 🙏

[@Loupdelou-ly1ve]

What a beautiful family you all belong to - so absolute in your love for one another.

[@lauramartinez6060]

What a beautiful family you have! I have the same dynamic with my children and it’s the most wonderful feeling! Being a parent is hard, and we often wonder if we did a good job or not, but when your children do special things like this, it confirms it was all worth it and you did something good. You are all lucky to have each other!

[@katig.4094]

You are such a great son and brother. Family is the best treasure God had ever given to humanity Be there for each other 😊

[@earningyourearswithkristin878]

Well done. What a great memory for the whole family. A few years ago, I did something similar to my mom and took her to London. She only found out at the gate :) She still mentioned this trip regularly. We had such a great time. It was my way of saying thank you to my mom for her support in the last few years ❤

[@sandragalati6281]

I love your family. You’re all very lucky to have each other.

[@ShelMichelle]

this video made me cry. Your family dynamic is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. 🫶🏽

[@melaniesmith3954]

This joy and appreciation of each other brings tears to my eyes. And you obviously share the same genetics and brain capacity. Also everyone expressed their joy so beautifully

[@sarahbarnett1144]

What a wonderful video ✨ Thank you for sharing these beautiful moments with us ✨

[@dinacardinal5968]

Such a beautiful experience to share with us. Thank you Daniel ❤

[@audrey3846]

Urrghh this was just so wholesome🥹Nurturing family relationships is everything! Your mum always has the biggest smile ☺️

[@aneehur]

To be a witness to your family's love is breathtaking. Thank you for sharing precious happy moments. God Bless You and your family.

[@themoores4467]

Oh how wonderful! This was joyful - when you hear people speak passionately about food - this is why! A few years back, hubby and I had this same type of experience at Per Se in NYC - where the love, passion, and respect for food and service was shown by everyone there and I simply could not express my joy and gratefulness enough although I had a similar expression as your parents - eyes shut, gentle smile and a little nod. How wonderful for all of you!

[@Sven_15.09]

You should make more with your parents and brother. They really enjoyed it. It's not just about sharing beautiful content. But making the best memories for you as a family.All the best!

[@TAG993]

I had no idea you had your own channel. I've followed your parents for some time. This is a fantastic for your whole family. Touche!

[@susang1925]

I have tears in my eyes at the combo of love, surprise and the epitome of gourmet excellence...

[@DinaMadi23]

What a lovely thought and beautiful thing to gift your parents! We are foodies in my family and I have had the good fortune to have several such meals together but it was never organized as a surprise in this beautiful way❣Well done!!

[@mandytrivedi]

Thanks! What an amazing gift!

[@valeriekporye]

This is so wholesome and precious, every giggle and shared moment of joy made my heart feel so full!
