[@brilliantbutblue]

Awww l didnt realise Sheena was in Hospital in Sicily and in Istanbul. Thats awful for you both and must have been super stressful. Glad no lasting effects. You like like a little energiser bunny as usual.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Brilliant But Blue luckily just in Istanbul 😄 I think we were posting Sicily whilst I was unwell in Turkey 😆

[@viratshetty4517]

Hey Thomas & Sheena ....new fan here from India...you guys will be really successful one day !!! I am watching all the old videos too ...loving it

[@clarehorrobin7804]

The last guy sums up why everyone should travel - that you can meet the most amazing people even when you can’t say much to them. His smile said it all!!!! Meanwhile - so hungry now!

[@ChasingaPlate]

Totally agree Clare! Pino was so charming- we visited him most days and felt like we’d made a new friend by the time we’d left Palermo 😄 thanks for watching and commenting on this one. Hope you enjoyed it 😘 Cheers, Sheena

[@sultanichsan]

Thanks for the recommendations, Thomas & Sheena! I'll definitely eat Arancini when I visit Palermo.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Thanks so much for the gift mate and so glad this video is helpful! Palermo has so many great eats to discover. Thanks for watching 😄 Cheers, Sheena

[@FoodandFootprints]

Look at all the OG’s at Trattoria da Pino! And they gave you a fresh plate - wow! That’s hospitality!

[@ChasingaPlate]

Love eating at places where all the OG’s hang out 😆

[@tonydeltablues]

Sheena's 'MMmmmm' is as iconic as Mark Wiens' heat tilt - if the food is good! Glad to see you back and well :-) May you always chase a plate. Blessings. Tony

[@ChasingaPlate]

😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂 thank you Tony!! I’m so happy to be on the up! Can’t keep me away from chasing those delicious plates- that’s for sure!! Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoy what we have coming up on the channel Tony 😄 Cheers, Sheena

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

The pastas are really unique It’s so nice to have pleasant conversations with friendly locals and take some photos together

[@ChasingaPlate]

It’s one of my favourite bits about what we do- getting to meet locals and to bond over good food 😍 thanks for watching and commenting John Tan! Hope you enjoyed this one mate. Cheers, Sheena

[@gnomevoyeur]

Thanks for another fun video. I hope Sheena is feeling better. While it is never good to have to go to hospital, the staff are always brilliant. I'm sure you met some nice people.

[@ChasingaPlate]

I am thanks Stephen! Definitely on the up 😍 I was looked after so well in hospital here- despite the language barrier it was a stress free experience- totally down to the staff! Thanks for watching this one and we're so glad you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena

[@artlover7638]

Simply love the Palermo street food scene.

[@ChasingaPlate]

We adored it too! Hope we can get back to Sicily one day to explore more. Thanks for watching and commenting Art Lover, hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena

[@now1994]

Sicilian-American here and I love seeing people enjoy the culture and food. 💚

[@ChasingaPlate]

We loved exploring mate- it was a joy to share Sicilian food culture on the channel. I’m still dreaming about that granita! Thanks for watching- hope you enjoyed the video! Cheers, Sheena

[@urbansetter1]

I'm sicilian American too. Proud and love to share the culture

[@MsKestrela]

Glad to see you back! I'm happy to know that Sheena's surgery went well and she'll be back, gallivanting all over, to keep us all drooling. You two are the Dynamic Duo of hidden food gems, and the world is a better place because of you. I was smart enough to have some BBQ crisps on hand for watching the video. Now I'm off to make coconut curry red snapper and jasmine rice for supper. The curry is inspired by your Malaysia series!

[@ChasingaPlate]

Omg MsKestrela, that red snapper coconut curry sounds amazing! My mouth is watering just thinking about it 🤤 thank you for your lovely words- I’m so glad to be on the up and will DEFINITELY be gallivanting (love that word 😆) from here on in.

[@JamesyboyExperiment]

Sicily looks like a real gem. The spots you visited looked rustic and full of life. Love the guy making the granita - what a dude....and the dish itself would be right up our street 😎😍

[@ChasingaPlate]

😄 he was such an awesome dude! So friendly and welcoming. Bet you guys would love it in Palermo- it was a little rough in the best possible way. Thanks for watching and commenting you two. Hope you’re both well! Cheers, Sheena

[@FoodandFootprints]

Oh yesss that granita looks incredible! Love coffee flavored sweets, then add in that almond flavor and chocolate powder. Great choice! Inspiring us to go get a shaved ice on this hot afternoon

[@ChasingaPlate]

Do it!! 🤤 are New York’s Italian ices basically granitas?

[@kelliesquire2981]

So happy to see this vlog come up. Its great to see you back on your feet Sheena. All the food looked so good but i think the granitas were my favorite part. Not just the food but because the sweet fella serving you looked so happy and proud of his craft. Loved this video and cant wait to see where your taking me next. Stay safe and healthy guys x

[@ChasingaPlate]

Thanks so much for your lovely message Kellie 😍 so happy to be on the up! Omg yes- Pino was so charming- he absolutely made the experience- he was so proud of his granita and rightly so- it was epic 🤤 thanks for watching and commenting and hope you like what we have coming up on the channel 😄 Cheers, Sheena

[@brilliantbutblue]

Granita, now where have l seen that recently 🤔. The Watermelon one you made in NZ was just missing the Piazza and the proud owner to have made it perfect!! Pasta with potatoes double carbs double the pleasure. Once again the beautiful moments with the owner/restaurateur are what shines through the food. You certainly packed a ton of eating into this 3 part series in Sicily. What an amazing array. Now l guess its off to Istanbul for me, the final playlist for me to chase. 🙂

[@ChasingaPlate]

Omg you just reminded me that, that’s still hanging around waiting to be eaten 😆 There are too many sweets being made in this house we can’t keep up 🤣 We met so many lovely people in Sicily, warm and generous folks. So happy you enjoyed this series Brilliant But Blue. Cheers, Sheena

[@FoodandFootprints]

Ohh another hidden spot! Yumm pasta con la sarde - such a wonderful dish with so many tasty flavors. Great local spot and very friendly staff

[@ChasingaPlate]

We can’t get enough of it 🤤 They were all so friendly in there- a family business we found out in the end 😍

[@FoodandFootprints]

Love those street shots!

[@ChasingaPlate]

So atmospheric 😍

[@Enoxix.]

Yes! Was so happy to see a new video from you guys! 😁

[@ChasingaPlate]

Thanks so much Adzmar Nera! So happy to be posting again yay! Hope you had a delicious meal of spaghetti mate 😋 Thanks for watching and commenting on this one- hope you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena

[@mariagabbott]

I definitely see the Northern African/Arab influence in the food, people and architecture. I really want to visit for the food 🤤

[@ChasingaPlate]

It’s so fascinating to see!! Omg that granita- I think about it all the time. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one Maria G. Cheers, Sheena

[@toni-kaku]

Great to see you back 👍😁 i dont think i could choose between those granitas. Id have to have both!

[@ChasingaPlate]

Thanks guys 😍 happy to be on the up! It was agony deciding whether to go fruit or coffee every time we ate there 😝 it was one of our favourite spots in Palermo! Hope you enjoyed this video guys, thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena

Thanks mate! So happy to be back 😍😍😍 hope you enjoyed this video, thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena

[@kenlee1416]

Great food video. Love to see your interactions with the local food proprietors and some kitchen scenes - please keep them as one of your main/regular features. Do have to say though, that since grapes have been grown in Sicily for over 2,500 years, it would only be natural that they had already been preserving some of the grapes (making raisins) well before the post-6th century Arabs/North Africans turned up.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi Ken Lee. Thanks so much for watching and for the feedback. We love getting into the kitchen etc so show as much of that action as possible in all our videos. Interaction with the people making the food etc is always brilliant also when people are happy to be on camera. Makes total sense with the grapes. I think it was more the style in which they were used with this sort of dish becoming popular. I believe the Arabs/North Africans changed the cuisine a bit with their arrival. Speaking of grapes we'd love to tour more of Sicily to try some more of their wine. We hear there are some pretty great drops to be found. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment! Cheers, Thomas 😀

[@elisabettapantani5819]

FANTASTIK VIDEO

[@ChasingaPlate]

So glad you enjoyed it 😍 I want granita from Pino desperately! Thanks for watching. Cheers, Sheena

[@mistyfonseca8038]

Yay!!! I'm so glad you're recovering well! Missed you two 🙂

[@ChasingaPlate]

😘😘😘😘 thanks so much Misty! So happy to be on the up! Hope you enjoyed this one- it was such a memorable day 🤗 thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena

[@tattianasalles3019]

The coffee dessert looks delicious!

[@ChasingaPlate]

It was unreal! I think I had it about 5 times while we were in Sicily. I couldn’t get enough. It was mega hot also so it was a perfect way to cool off and have a pick me up. Thanks so much for watching this one! Cheers, Thomas 😀

[@nightfox263]

Sheena's granita looked pure heaven 😍😍😍

[@ChasingaPlate]

It was amaaaazing mate! We had one most days 😆 thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed this one 😄 Cheers, Sheena

[@FoodandFootprints]

Love the hidden entrance to the arancine spot! The rice itself looks so moist. Liked how you included the history about the Arabs in Palermo - makes sense with the saffron

[@ChasingaPlate]

It was such a great spot! Took us a little while to find it but so glad we did 😆 thanks for watching and commenting guys- hope you liked this one! Cheers, Sheena

[@dacesmilga5213]

Can you tell the address or name of the place?

[@andrewhardy6218]

They don’t say the names of the restaurants they go to which is odd

[@אביממן-פ3ד]

That coffee dessert looks so good.🙂

[@ChasingaPlate]

Oh my goodness we were addicted to it! Thomas couldn’t go past it every time we had granita! Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed the video mate. Cheers, Sheena

[@tosht2515]

*_caponata_* - Completely forgot that caponata is Sicilian. I am very fond of eggplant and eat caponata often...warm on pasta or rice; room temp on bread; as a spread in a sandwich; or just straight from the bowl. 😀 *_potato and pasta_* - Haha. Did this just last week. Carbs! I know you two have been to the UK. Ever have a *_chip butty?_* mmm, mmm. *_granita_* - Those were quite luxurious indeed. If people have never seen it before and decide to order it at their local restaurant, they may be royally disappointed. 😂 Fantastic food day. Every stop a winner!

[@ChasingaPlate]

Mmmmm caponata on rice! Epic combo Tosh- definitely going to have to try that one day. We later found out that the potato pasta translates to fatty pasta and is an ancient Palermo dish. It was so delicious. Thanks for watching and commenting Tosh- hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena

[@tosht2515]

👍 Yes. Enjoyed the entire series very much. Quite educational. I know so much about Italian cuisine but as I mentioned about caponata, I've forgotten many details it seems. Arancini vs suppli is another. I never remember which is from where. And you opened my eyes to gourmet sfincione. I still can't get over how plain mine was. 😂

[@ChasingaPlate]

😆😂😆 I reckon that sfincione is reason enough to return to Palermo!!

[@mariaandbryan]

Secret little places are the best!! Those rice balls with tomato look so crispy but so rich inside Love when they mix the pasta like that. That’s just a wonderful combination of ingredients I bet those sardines are the soul to the pasta Agree Sheena the Arabs brought so many good spices and flavors to the Mediterranean coast Wow I never had pasta with potato... that looks so creamy and yummyness (I make my own words lol)

[@ChasingaPlate]

Yummyness is a great word 🤣 I know right?! Carb on carb- of course it’s gonna be epic 🤣 thanks for watching and commenting on this one! So happy you enjoyed it 😍 Cheers, Sheena

[@HerchelBaliwas]

Wow, you guys have come a long way since your pioneer days! I am immensely happy for you and may God bless your adventures!

[@ChasingaPlate]

We totally agree! We ate so well when we were there. Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers, Sheena

[@mariaandbryan]

Never tried that eggplant plate.. wow with all those veggies ! I can only imagine the great flavor the onion gives to that. And the fish looks right on point of cooking

[@ChasingaPlate]

It was melt in your mouth guys! Sooo good. The caponata was brilliant- such a great sweet and sour flavour 🤤

Your food made my mouth water.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Thanks you two! Such lovely words! The pastas in Palermo were so unique- we loved them! And that meal was neat- a really lively, fun place to film! Thanks for watching guys! Cheers, Sheena

[@mariaandbryan]

That desert is making me drooling 🤤 The chocolate, the coffee, the powder in top!! The fruit desert that Sheena is having looks very refreshing, I’m sure it’s great after a heavy lunch to help with digestion. It has been decided ! Cooking pasta today ! Hahaha Another wonderful episode !

[@ChasingaPlate]

😍😍😍😍😍 best be careful or we’ll show up for dinner!! Omg that granita was next level- the perfect antidote to the hot day! Thanks for watching guys! Cheers, Sheena

Loved this video. I can't wait to return to Sicily. It would be helpful if you wrote the names of the restaurants and names of the dishes on the screen. I don't see how I could possibly find these locations, which I would love to do. Thanks again.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi Joe Di, thanks for watching and we’re glad you enjoyed the video. We always put restaurant details in the KZbin description so that people don’t have to keep stopping and starting the video to take notes! Sicily is a brilliant place in which to travel- we ate so well there. Hope you make it back soon. Cheers, Sheena

[@murphy1941]

Wow. The information is right there! Thanks so much. Planning a trip to Palermo in the spring. We will definitely try your suggestions.

I always appreciate your research to introduce us the best local foods a bit different from the touristy areas. Everything looks so droolilicious as usual in this vid, but the granitas on a hot day are da bomb!! I'd order both if & when I get the chance to visit there next time. Take care & cheers Sheena & Thomas 💙💜

[@donaldouyang3580]

Heading out to Palermo next May, which area would you recommend to stay so we can taste the street food? Hope Sheena is well. Thanks.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Exciting! It’s pretty small so staying central means you can easily get around on foot. Pretty much everything in our videos we got to via foot no problem. I think just once we had to catch a bus for about 10 minutes. Let us know if you need more info. Cheers, Thomas 😀

[@paulmerda1]

Palermo is Beautiful but I wish someone finally goes somewhere else in Sicily besides Palermo all the time, I went to a town down in the south of Sicily called Licata which is a province of Agrigento where the famous Valley of the Greek Temples are and loved Licata with it’s charming town and beautiful port, very delicious food. Just hope you finally do get the chance to go there soon, I know you’ll also fall in love with Licata as I did. Just wish more people knew of this town other than just the capital of Sicily.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi Alan Merda, thanks for watching and commenting! Hope you enjoyed this video. Licata sounds stunning- we love visiting smaller villages and towns but unfortunately on this trip we couldn't travel around like we prefer because of the cost. We had to prioritise the place with the most content opportunities. Hopefully the channel grows and we can venture to more of the lesser known spots in places like Sicily! Hope you enjoy the content we have coming up on the channel! Cheers, Sheena

[@perkypat2214]

The first food you tried looks more like suppli rather than arancini

[@ChasingaPlate]

Thanks for watching Perky Pat! They did a little! Hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena

[@HighVibesTravel]

Do you have the best place to have Canoli in Palermo?

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi Morris Lightman, thanks for watching and commenting! We didn't eat cannoli on this visit as we learnt that it's a seasonal dessert (eaten between autumn and spring) and locals don't eat them in the summer as ricotta isn't produced then- although most pastry shops will still sell them year round. We did have Pasticceria Costa marked as a good spot for them even though we didn't partake. Hope you enjoy your time in Palermo! Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy the rest of our Palermo videos. Cheers, Sheena

[@HighVibesTravel]

Thank you for writing back with this info! We are heading to Palermo in a few weeks and just curious generally speaking are the cab drivers fair in Italy or will they try to rip you off ?

[@ChasingaPlate]

No problem at all. We didn't take any cabs whilst in Palermo- we actually walked everywhere and took the occasional bus. The central area is very compact and flat and thus very walkable. Sorry we can't help on this front Morris! Cheers, Sheena

[@HighVibesTravel]

@@ChasingaPlate Hi there! We just came back from Palermo and i went to I Cuochini for Arancini because of your video and we have to admit it was the best ones we tastes and we tasted a few and also a few in Capri. We actually brought some back for our plane ride and they were fantastic and the staff were amazing too! So keep up the good work on your videos!!!

[@ChasingaPlate]

Morris Lightman it makes us so happy to hear this! Thank you for taking the time to write 😍 good work on getting a few to take on the plane! Hope your Italian adventure was memorable and that you had a fantastic time! 😄 Cheers, Sheena

[@m.g9011]

I swear, if I ever go there.. within a month I'd be dead on the street fat and broke

[@ChasingaPlate]

Haha oh gosh the food is good! Such a neat food destination. We loved our time filming in Sicily. Thanks so much for watching this one and we hope you enjoy the rest of the Sicily videos. Cheers, Thomas 😀

[@SuzyGrowsMyBiz]

Ok, I understand if you don't want to share, like many cooks like me lol, but what's your secret to finding all these great local spots when you're not a local?...

[@ChasingaPlate]

😂😂😂😂 more than happy to share and more than happy to do the legwork for you all 😂 Just a combination of things SuzyGrowsMyBiz- just lots of reading before we arrive, talking to locals once we arrive and just eating non stop once we're in a place to find delicious spots to include in our videos. Hope you enjoyed this one! Thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena

[@ryanbuchschacher3877]

What is the hidden arrancini place called?

[@ChasingaPlate]

All details in the video description mate including addresses. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Sheena

[@sopheap26]

I like spaghetti or of course Italian food.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi tsocanuck, thanks so much for watching and commenting! Hope you get there one day soon- we loved it! It was so different to other parts of Italy that we’ve visited 😍 Cheers, Sheena

[@stevesoutham4009]

[@Foxmonster67]

[@ChasingaPlate]

Totally Msgamer tv! There's still so much of the country for us to explore! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one- hope you enjoy our Sicily series mate. Cheers, Sheena

[@ChasingaPlate]

Thanks for watching. Cheers, Thomas

[@balochistanitechsupport3996]

them arabs did.nt leave much halal grub in godfather country BUT u 2 is still the best !!!!!!

[@ChasingaPlate]

😍 awww thanks mate! Sicily has such a fascinating history- the Arabs left a damn delicious legacy- they were the ones who introduced mulberries to Sicily too 🤤 soooo tasty! Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Hope you’re having a great weekend! Cheers, Sheena

[@andrewhardy6218]

Love how you guys don’t say the name of the restaurants. 🤣

[@ChasingaPlate]

The KZbin description has all details. Much easier that way as people can copy and paste etc. cheers. Thomas

[@GirishModashia]

Hi No point doing food vlog, if you don't show us the name of the places you eat at

[@ChasingaPlate]

We do- in the most obvious place to look… all details in the description. Cheers, Sheena

[@brunopupo8266]

Please I hate to sound condescending but don't slurp up your spaghetti. It is considered uncouth. Twirl a few strands on your fork using your spoon as a base until the spaghetti wraps into a tiny ball and then insert the entire portion into your mouth.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi Bruno Pupo, you are never, ever provided with a spoon to eat your pasta in Italy! It is not something locals do ever. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Sheena

[@tsocanuck]

you can't beat 20 euros for that meal ....NOWHERE .did that include the wine?

[@ChasingaPlate]

I know right?! It was such great value! And YES it included the wine 😍😍😍 Cheers, Sheena

[@tsocanuck]

@@ChasingaPlate what a deal

[@filippomann]

That's not real granita. The authentic one is from Messina and Catania

[@ChasingaPlate]

How is it not authentic? Thanks for watching. Cheers, Sheena

[@filippomann]

@@ChasingaPlate That is much more similar to "Grattachecca" from Rome. The real granita is not made up of pieces of icy ingredients. It's cold and creamy. Not icy.

[@ChasingaPlate]

It wasn’t icy at all and exactly like what you described- cold, smooth and creamy 😍

[@IadoreyouMaxxy]

Are you a couple?

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi there. Thanks for watching this one and we hope you enjoyed it. Yes we're married 😀🙌 Cheers, Thomas 😀

[@IadoreyouMaxxy]

You guys are wonderful!

[@ChasingaPlate]

😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@sebastian993]

"It's much bitter than I thought it would be". New Zealanders pronouncing their i as an e, but e as an i. Weird

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi! Thanks for watching this one and we hope you enjoyed it. Not sure what you're referring to sorry? We didn't say that in this video (and never would , we never expect anything to not be good and wouldn't judge something on our opinion before eating it). I do mention that the pasta was much wetter than I expected. Maybe that is what you heard? Us Kiwis do have some different ways of saying things though! 😀😂 Thanks again for watching. Cheers, Thomas
