I can't believe that this is the final episode! Porto is easily one of my favorite cities I've ever traveled to, and the francesinha is a big part of that. Any idea where I can find one in the states? Willing to travel 🙌

[@Paulo_Sa_Pereira]

I wish there was when I lived for 6 years in LA. Missed it so much. You just have to (wel)come back!!! :)

[@margaridaferreira8029]

This vlog just reminded me that I really need to find an excuse to go to Porto once again. And I can give you one excuse to return, beside the francesinha. You missed the Arcádia chocolates. They are sooooooooooo good.

[@mrcjoshua]

Can't believe this is the last one either! Hope Eater will bring you back for more...

[@JoyHanford]

Please tell me they brought you a second round of francesinha sauce. Pleeeeeeease tell me they re-drenched your francesinha half way through! (If not,I am leaving my house and having a word with café Santiago.) Seriously, the second pour of francesinha sauce is essential.

[@shawnmccrea6208]

You are an incredible host they must re-up on this show!!!

[@Zartak00]

Porto is without a doubt one of, if not the best, place to live in the world, we have everything you would want while maintaining the appeal of a smaller historic city, has a river and sea, weather is very balanced and people are incredibly friendly... also Portugal as a whole is one of the safest country’s in the world, always a big plus

[@scottbrandon6244]

Porto is a highly underrated city in Portugal. More people should go. The Francesinha sandwich should be on restaurant menus in America.

[@4MEStudios]

OK... I know that we are all here for the food and travel. But, I just got to say the cinematography is just spot on! From drone shots, panning, close ups to panoramic it just was so well done. Not only did this episode make me hungry and long for a visit to Portugal but, it please my sense of art. Man! I gotta say those Harris's are indeed a talented group of people! Obrigado! (the only word I know other than "oi" )

[@thejompi]

Americans: The Philly cheesesteak is the best sandwich in the world. Portuguese: Segura minha cerveja que eu vou monstra como se faz.

[@Klovicevic]

Anytime you want portuguese classes ;) be my guest!

[@thejompi]

@@Klovicevic thank you/obrigado.

[@bostonterriermom]

thejompi you did well..

[@miguelvs]

Ao menos usa a cerveja para o molho !

[@Caramelo9941]

a francesinha não é uma sandes! é uma francesinha!

[@ivosilva2796]

The Francesinha coma is a common symptom after eating a full francesinha :)

[@simaosanto]

"Francesinha Coma" é muito booom!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@m0rce1]

Yes, i usually need a nap after one lol

[@mikaelrodrigues5017]

Yes brother

[@quotenchinese4744]

OPEN LETTER TO EATER: Give Iz a substantial raise and make sure you make her an offer for 10 more seasons that she cannot refuse

[@LonelyUtahLib]

This series is so awesome! I never knew how beautiful Portugal was. I feel utterly transported there every time I watch it and the food looks absolutely amazing. One of my new favorite things on all of KZbin.

[@tosht2515]

Viewers should know that the meats used in a Francesinha vary from restaurant to restaurant. And if this looks slightly similar to a Croque Madame or Croque Monsieur, it's because the Francesinha is Porto's version of those famous French sandwiches. Hence, Francesinha or "little French one." Had one when I visited Portugal...quite tasty indeed.

[@AdHesiveErmine]

It was a Portuguese immigrant in France that invented the francesinha.

[@lilarodrigues2698]

But the francesinha is 1000x better and I tried both many times.

[@pedrobotinasguedes]

And there is so much more of Portugal to see. You need to come back.

[@leonardocampos5856]

5 episodes about Portuguese food and no Bacalhau at all? I'm appalled.

[@Picobeat]

i loved this video, you actually walked around the city and felt it, ofc you will always miss a couple spots or food to try with such restricted time but you actually walked around and tried things, love it.

[@ryanscoots21]

Please get Iz to do another series, this is awesome!

[@93TIAGO]

Portugal loves you. Please stay!

[@jennamei701]

Please do more of this series with Iz!! I'm so sad its over

[@PigeonSquawks]

I love how the only thing in focus is the person eating the food. Not the food, but the host. When it is in focus, it's just 1 sec repeating cuts. Awesome stuff here.

[@yeannaa]

little tip: You can ask for extra beer sauce! I loved this Portugal series. I miss portugal!

[@TLR28]

Speaking as a Father of a 3 yr old I am just saying the family outtakes must be comedy gold...

[@rodrigomuller]

Oh man I miss the Francesinhas so much. It's been 9 years already, have to go back, now with the family.

[@barbaraliaghati6951]

Live this video! Love Iz and her family!

[@phoenee]

This whole family and series are awesome! More please!

[@anabengalinha4049]

Um concelho,beba o cafe depois da nata.Para quem nao esta habituado adocica a boca. Enjoy Portugal!!

[@ricardomartins1783]

Again, I can relate so much with your vídeos in this series: the decisions you make, the food you eat, the places you go and the family rush, its unbelievable. We even share the same addiction on egg tarts from Manteigaria. Last Sunday I went to taste one, I can remember eating 3 but the bill said 6! We need therapy...

[@redflamelcd]

Wait, your husband is the Vox borders guy?? I love his repprting

[@aTheBlackCat1]

I loved this series!! Iz you did such an amazing job!! Traveling with family while also working is not a small feat! I’m from a city really close to Porto, Braga, if you ever go back you should visit it! Also I love your outfits and your kids look so cute in theirs too! Where do you find such cute clothes!

[@JoeLorence]

I am flippin loving this series. The Harris's are my new favorite power couple.

[@MorningCoffeeDaily]

From a local, Portuguese and tour guide, u went to the most touristic place to eat Francesinha . For future people visiting us try this one where I only go to eat Francesinha: Café D. Amélia in Gaia city. Thank you for visiting us! Cheers!!! Porto name comes from Portus in Latin ( as Porto was a Roman Empire harbour) which means cruises Port or Harbour :) hope that u had Port Wine ;)

[@islandbee]

It looked like it was.

[@miguelcoelho3877]

Hahaha -- "...just as good as I remember " -- says you (minute 3:28) after eating your seventh pastel de nata of the day. I love it! And those "Francesinhas" (I'm nearly embarrassed to say) -- had me absolutely mouthwatering just by looking at them... (Man, I need to get one of those in my tummy!) You were in one of my favorite areas of Portugal, but you need to spend more time north (Minho) and east (Alto Douro) of Porto, next time if you want to truly immerse yourselves in the gastronomic traditions of that area of the country. Great editing, choice of music, and presentation style, as per usual. Keep it up!

[@margaridaferreira8029]

Can you imagine the shots she would take at Viana do Castelo?! She really needs to return to Portugal.

[@miguelcoelho3877]

@@margaridaferreira8029 "They" -- they're a family! But I agree: Viana is very pretty, but so is all the North, including Galicia, my kind of beauty; but in fairness, the whole country is pretty special!

[@mashewll]

Absolutely loved this video!!! Travel + food vids never disappoint me...but this was exquisite 🤤 10,000days sounds about right

[@harrysanders1089]

Man this makes me feel home sick. This is such an awesome depiction of Porto. Much respect!🙏✌️

[@gustavodiaspress]

You missed the most important place to see in Porto, the Caves do Vinho do Porto. You must visit another time!

[@8RedBear5]

As an avid watcher of Travel and Food shows here on KZbin I've always wondered why there isn't much done from Portugal. Thanks for this series it was very interesting.

[@dhimascpw1991]

After watching spiderman into the spiderverse (again). I just cant shake the felling that u 2 just like watching gwen and peter parker decide to married and have child. Life happily and now enjoy vacation in portugal.

[@katherineyang783]

Such a cute video and family!! Makes me want to visit Porto and try the sandwich.

[@shyamiyer4215]

All those drone shots make your videos so much more beautiful! ♥️

[@WhileJenWasReading]

I love this series, I hope it continues with Iz!

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Ok first this woman drove me crazy. Now I love her. She gets a little energy and whammo, she is great. This series has me going to Portagual next fall. Thank you crazy kid eating family. I can't wait. Wait you don't eat kids..lol.

[@marciocattini12]

I loved the series! Thanks for introducing me to Portugal

Oh, my. You had me already and then you said “gravy.” Then pasteis de nata!!! 😍😱❤️❤️❤️

Im portuguese and I live in Porto, francesinha Is my favorite food🤤🤤🇵🇹🇵🇹

[@ankocooks]

You should have gone to Guimaraes, where Portugal was born. Pretty beautiful town.

[@JohnQuach]

I would probably be in a food coma after eating that francesinha sandwich, looks delicious 🙌

[@jnava1994]

It is mate... It is

[@lilarodrigues2698]

You would be. It’s nap time after eating one 😂

[@wcbert]

Have been to Porto twice and will go back again soon! What is the drone you are using to film you overhead videos?

[@mon6745]

I could taste those french fries... best potatoes in Europe... great walkthrough of Porto - you do an amazing job... I thi k ir helps because you love to eat lol... you should do a supercut of all the pasteis de natas you ate... that's what I did, because I was stuffing one in my mouth at all times 😆

[@manuelsilva6926]

Know i understand...allways surching for food, it s a reflect when you are a maratonist with childrens on the back...in vacation

[@jascrandom9855]

The country of Portugal was named after this city.

[@brokenrecord3523]

I love Porto. Tough to find a good beer there to go with the francesinha though.

[@Lawgivah1349]

Some of your shots are drone shots... how did you get those? Your videos are fantastic btw!

That looks so good. If poutine was a sandwich that would probably be it.

[@garypollock3647]

Wow Iz thank you so much for your Portugal Videos, we traveling there in just over a month and your videos are just what I needed, we will most probably follow same path as you guys. Pity a couple of the places you visited that looked great are now closed, must be Covid! Who did you rent a car from? We are a family of 4 like you however my little ones are not so little, they 16 and 13. Oh final note the other part that makes watching you videos worthwhile is you a smoking hot mom! ;-)

[@DavidFSloneEsq]

I dug this video. However, how can you do a culinary tour of Porto and and not drink Port?

U got that right!!!!

[@l.l.5274]

Thanks so much for your video! They're awesome and you guys have such a wicked sense of humor! LOL. You've motivated me to explore Portugal by car and foot. I saw another video and they said that renting a car wasn't worth it since the parking fee is so high ($25+ for a day?). Is this true?

[@joanabarbosa932]

Portugal ❤️ Francesinha! Porto ☀️

[@cwingsam]

Iz, if you like the pasteis de nata, you should definitely try the "Chinese version" of it: Dan tat or egg tart. You can buy them in bakeries/cake shops in China towns.

[@tiagorafael2542]

Next time you should try the south of the country as well, great food and great landscapes ^^

[@glenngoodale1709]

Hey Guys, next time your at Porto, go for francesinha at Brasão Cevejaria. Take the advice from a Porto Girl, it is the best of all I tried and all my friends that I took there agree with me, plus the place is really beautiful.

[@johnsexton3841]

If the coffee was too strong for you as they served it, as for a "cafe cheio". They will fill the cup to the top with more water through the coffee grounds.
