We’re Thomas and Sheena, food and travel fiends. We travel full time, hunting for the BEST local food in the world to showcase via our KZbin videos. Food is a window into a country's culture and one of the most exciting ways to get to know a place.
We're all about eating what and where the locals eat. You won't find food that's been created merely to be social media worthy on here- no rainbow bagels, gold leaf soft serves- just honest food that tastes incredible.
From street food to mom and pop restaurants, we want to show you the best food we find on our travels.

Great to watch your adventure again. However, I must say it's different from the time before you two had your little one; I love to watch your little princess rather than the food - that comes second. She always put a smile on my face.

[@ChasingaPlate]

😆😆😆 She is a sweetie- and I imagine she’s only going to get more insistent about trying the food! Thanks for watching 💜 Cheers, Sheena

[@onix5060]

I drive past the oyster place often and never stop in purely because of the look and what I’ve heard. I’m grateful you have reviewed this. I love oysters so much I’ll stop here more on my way home to Russell. Thank you!

[@ChasingaPlate]

Well worth stopping mate, especially when it’s the season- they get so big and plump. Thanks for watching this one! Cheers, Sheena

[@serena-meiwihongi3845]

I want to try them What did hear about this place?

[@leofong5362]

You guys are really enjoying the food and it shows! Nothing like taking your time now and stopping off these local businesses to taste their offerings! I see the baby wishing she could taste that lemon meringue tart!🥰

[@ChasingaPlate]

Haha so true Leo! She would have been right in! We are so loving the food 😆 thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena

[@CookingAroundTheWorld]

Hard to know what i love most out of this video guys. Probably a shout out to all these proprietors who constantly bring us such high quality food , up and down the country. Mussel Fritters are a weakness of mine. Thanks yet again Thomas & Sheena.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Such an awesome message! Thanks so much mate- you would have loved this fritter- I feel like one now! Thanks for watching 💜 Cheers, Sheena

[@swisski]

So good to get recommendations for places that are local to me. I knew of these lovely spots, but haven’t visited in a while, well, next days off! Cheers guys, love from the Bay of Islands!

[@ChasingaPlate]

Great plan 😍 we always think, we’ll pop in next time and never do so thought this time we WILL stop! We’ll be stopping more often from now on I reckon- they’re all worth it! Thanks for watching and big love to you in the BOI 💜 Cheers, Sheena

[@leofong5362]

Happy Mother’s Day to you, Sheena! 🥰💐🥰💐🥰

한국은 계절이 여름이 되어가고 있어 굴시즌이 끝났는데 빨리 굴시즌이 되어서 먹었으면 좋겠네요. Have a nice day.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Agreed! Thanks so much Sally 💜💜💜 Cheers, Sheena

[@MsKestrela]

Yeah, baby...road trip! This is a golden video, guys, combining beautiful vistas and tasty food. I'm usually jealous of your exotic food ventures, but this time, I have a couple of good equivalents locally. There are both an excellent seafood shack where I can get fried oysters, and a really good sweet shop that serves amazing cakes and pies. I had one of their apple pies with my morning coffee today. That's the way to start a Saturday! And seeing your smiling faces is a great way to end it.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Awww! And yes- what a way to start a Saturday! That seafood shack of yours sounds awesome- thanks for watching MsKestrela 💜💜💜 Cheers, Sheena

[@exodusdiva2295]

Yum! Thanks for the foodie reviews, I bypass these places when I'm up those ways. Totally going to pop in and get some

[@ChasingaPlate]

Do it! Especially when it’s oyster season- they’re so plump and fat in the colder months. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena

[@vickyrun8796]

Zadie looks so cute and has a resemblance to actor Adam Wylie (one of the kid actors on the movie Kindergarten Cop).

[@gnomevoyeur]

I'm looking around for my next driving holiday and thinking about a trip from Cape Reinga to Bluff via highway 1. If you had a video with a nice itinerary - including stops for great seafood and meat pies, I'd be stoked. Just an idea. Maybe a collab with southern friends if need be.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi there. We filmed a series just like that a few years ago. We did the whole country in a camper van starting at the Cape and finishing in Bluff. Check out the videos. We’d love to do it again but would need funding first. It’s not a cheap, or easy, thing to just throw together. If you’ve got some connections for funding hit us up 😉 Cheers, Thomas

[@susanhay1181]

Are you paid by these restaurants? Just wondering as we had a different experience at another you recommended. I love your reviews which arr great and each persons experience will be different. We went to Timmur which was nice but didn't have the pizzang from your review.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi Susan, no we pay our own way 😄 And if we’re working with a tourism board or business association to promote restaurants (of our choice) we always disclose this. That’s a shame about your experience at Timmur- what did you have? We can only speak for the dishes we had- all of them off the Nepali section- they were seriously great. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena

[@andrewschirmer3849]

No tomato sauce on chips no! Bloody Kiwis!

[@ChasingaPlate]

😂😂😂😂

[@jackl4739]

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hehehe she sure is! Thanks for watching this one! Cheers, Sheena

[@dezza718]

How do you guys stay skinny

[@ChasingaPlate]

😆😆😆 We try to balance all our eating out by cooking well at home 😄 And the baby keeps us on our toes 😆 thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena

[@user-rh1ec6ep5x]
