There is a guy who has put his heart and soul into his business. Wish him all the luck in the world

Good work getting the owner on for a chat there DJ. Would be good to see more of that format if possible, it adds extra value to the video.

[@junemccann5981]

The food you’ve had has been amazing Darren. Good luck to Matthew with his business. 🥰☀️🥰xxx

You are a real advert for Thailand. Matthew a true advert for top food. Good on you two!

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

I think he’s really onto something! So many Americans and Europeans there. As you say, you don’t always want Thai every day… looks wonderful!

[@paulclancy4221]

I love a good cheese steak roll. The owner seems like a great guy.

[@robcoles8493]

What a great back story - and a nice guy. And that cheese steak - wow. It looked brilliant. If be in there three times a day.

Hi Darren, nice place you’ve found there , the cheese steak looked fantastic to me glad you enjoyed it and glad you talked with Matthew he sounds a nice guy and he’s a biker , what more could you wish for Darren

[@elizabeth-jk5vo]

Another great videoI, I could taste every mouthfull Worth the flight to Thailand just for the food places you found. Enjoy your last few days, it's a shame for us to as you have brought us on your trip with you/

[@711honved]

I think you're developing a nice relationship with Thailand, its people, traditions & culture. The food is just a huge bonus!

[@karengalley3669]

I wish I could eat without making a mess. I would have spilled or dropped half of that. Looked lovely, glad you enjoyed it.

[@chrisfinn7907]

Nice you enjoyed your food..you also had a chat with the owner so now you have some idea of what's needed to possibly open an eating establishment... Over to you DJ...

[@andrewgalt3964]

Another enjoyable video Darren good interview with Mano nice to see Ex Pats making it work in Thailand ❤

[@shanewilliams3453]

G'day Darren it looked good and what a nice bloke the owner was thanks mate another top video Shane in Sydney 🦘🇦🇺

Hi again from Oz really enjoying these videos DJ. Love food and different cultures! 😋 Omg 😲 😍 its huge! Lol 😅 yum 😋 😜 Another class act video some of the other Utubers could learn a thing or two from your channel DJ...just saying ❤🎉

[@DJsFoodTravels]

Thank you so much 😁

[@stewartgrant7724]

HI Darren Wow what a lovely Cheesesteak that you had and glad to see rhe owner selling freat quality food. For what you had and paid for was 10/10. Thank you for sharing.

[@colindarroch4022]

That cheese steak looked so tasty and he seems a nice guy building a strong business. Really enjoyed the video another great experience in Thailand. Enjoy.

[@wormsnake1]

I also loved the conversation DJ. It would be great if you spoke to more owners etc…I understand some people maybe reluctant to go on camera but it really gives the video a new personal dynamic. These Thailand escapades have been OTC’s!! Possible business over there you say?? That would be AMAZING!! All shall be revealed in due course if so!! 💥x

[@connorw808]

Ur spot on. Thailand does some of the best western food in the world. It's crazy tbh.

[@bkkian4012]

the food variety in thailand is off the charts

[@geourgiou]

Wow, certainly not short changed there DJ, that looks delicious 😋

[@davemulready]

"Well Done Darren"Great Vlog

[@linz347]

Fabulous. Great food, great food and a very nice owner. What more could you want? 😊

[@stevekelly5166]

I give you thumbs up, then watch. You never disappoint DJ. In the intro, I've had all five beers on the menu, nice of them to put the bottles in a neoprene jacket. And you have you own A/C unit wafting your warm hair. Mano's is new on Streetview, 'soft' opening in May 2024 on an A-Board photo. Nothing vegetarian though? What's wrong with a simple portobello mushroom, cheese, peppers, onion for idiots like me. Lovely ending with the interview with Matthew [MANO]. Watching on 11th of the Eleven month. Remembrance day/weekend.

[@karenclancey2557]

Omg , that looked delicious.👍❤️

[@PaulC_9721]

You work so hard to bring the food into our homes 👍👍

[@jonathanbowles2577]

Good Evening DJ. What a Pure and Utter Indulgent Pleasure it was to be Invited along to Your Restaurant Experience at this Beautiful Establishment, that really knows all about giving there Customers the Best Service and Absolutely the most Delicous and really Lip Smacking Tasty Food. This Incredible Huge Philly Steak Open Sandwich, Yes it was really Off the Charts. The Steak was cooked to Perfection, the Cheese was such a Good Quality to Accompany the Steak. Hand made Bread and the Beautiful Friend Onion's with the Red and Green Peppers and just a Hint of Chilli Sauce to give a nice Bite. What a Privilage to meet and talk to the Owner and Chef Mathew. Two very Lovely Gentlemen having a very Good Conversation. I Salute Mathew and You DJ, for this Fabulous Film you have Produced and Shared with me. Manos, what a Great place to visit and Experience Excellent Atmosphere and very Well cooked Food. Thank you DJ. Jonathan/ England.

[@iancrawley4009]

I know you're a big lad and I'm not far behind but jesus your ability to pack away food is phenomenal. As good as that looked I reckon I could have tackled half at best. Good on you

[@jacquelinemoore7839]

Yeah im the same. Id have eaten 1 1/2 and then asked for the 2nd 1/2 to be wrapped up to take away.

[@Tward2929]

The camera doesn’t do it justice for the cheesesteak 🥖I’ve really enjoyed your content thoroughly on this trip to Thailand 🇹🇭 Thanks DJ 🤗

[@jasondyer811]

The owner seems a well cool dude . Comes across very genuine 😁😁👍👍

[@mmuzzwell3654]

Thailand seems to have a lot to offer. Just wish they could turn the thermostat down a bit.

[@inisolation6582]

Food at Manos is great, and for those saying the meat looks 'grey', please understand that is due to the lighting in the video. When you actually sit down and eat their food it is colorful and delicious

[@DJsFoodTravels]

Hi Darren, your Mano's cheese steak looks fantastic, from Philly. 🎉 Its so lovely that Matthew was chatting to you about how he set his business up. Your Super Deluxe cheese steak looks so very nice, Darren. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@youwouldvelovedit]

This guy seems cool. He's cute and a great businessman, Darren. Are we done now with the current Thai series or are there a few more?

[@tw25rw]

I remember the owner on another channel. Maybe Daz or Trevor interviewed him. I'll give it a try if I ever make it back to Thailand.

[@DJsFoodTravels]

Matthew said Trevor was visiting the week after 👍🏼

[@crispanddry7416]

Classic Thai 😍

[@DJsFoodTravels]

Doesn't even deserve a comment

[@padthaipaul9849]

Hope to try Mano's in January 2025. The owner has clearly put a lot of thought and effort into creating something special. He has featured in 2 or 3 vloggers I follow, so hopefully will get some extra business from these KZbin videos.

[@robambrose4199]

They should give you a choice of cheeses, and whether you want those half/half, and whether you mean combined or at each end of the bread, and then they should offer you something to dip it in, like gravy or French dip.

[@robambrose4199]

And a choice of bread too, as I'd like less bread / something thinner so I can eat more meat and cheese and get my mouth around it.

[@davidkemp5798]

People always criticise pattaya and those that visit, but it has by far the vest food options and the most tourist attractions in all of Thailand.

[@Helloguys45]

Maybe because of the news reports about underage workers in bars and people trafficking and arrests every few months . Wonder why it gets a bad name ? You serious ?

[@sandw84]

Mmmm!! Yum!! ❤🎉

[@rappers5719]

If ever I go to Pattaya, It will be a must. Matthew Manolavitz. Nearly as much of a mouthful as your Cheese steak.

[@lloydbrock2711]

Matthew is quite the inspiration isn't he. And DJ, what a great interviewer you are, a natural. Great video and let's hope we see you opening something in Thailand at some point. You've got the drive!

[@DJsFoodTravels]

[@scooterspringsteen3544]

Only thing missing is a tub of gravy or southerns call it ju 😂

I'm skeptical as to whether that was beef. Looked grey on screen

[@DJsFoodTravels]

Poor lighting only

[@DanielDydzak]

It looked big and so so, but you apparently said it was good so ill wish you well with it

[@stuartmartin935]

Hi Mate ... what business are you thinking of ? are you planning on living there full time?

[@connorw808]

It will struggle that place due to location. I used to go to bar next door to that. That area been dead for ever

[@wellrounded713]

Was he using very thin sliced ribeye like they do in Philly? You didn't mention what the cost was for the sandwich.

[@DJsFoodTravels]

I had the biggest thing on the menu - I didnt think it fair to give the price of that. Matthew mentioned what steak it is

[@railvlogger1439]

Like I said in a previous comment. The best shepherd's pie I ever had in my life was in Bangkok.

[@DJsFoodTravels]

Crazy right?

[@MikePaton-Williams-yv9qo]

Darren, what kind of steak did they use? I might make one for my wife👍 To get the camera to zoom in on the food... hold the food towards the camera and put your other hand behind the food so the focus is on the grub, not on you😎 Darn if the baguette isn't the right bread I'm in trouble🙄 and I'll have to learn the cheese mixture

[@DJsFoodTravels]

Matthew mentions in the video

[@MikePaton-Williams-yv9qo]

@ it would be too difficult for you to answer. I don't think he says filet, rump, rib. But you might stop being negative and reply "M said" here is what he said.

[@peaky5135]

DJ didn't know what sort of steak it was 😂

[@DJsFoodTravels]

@@MikePaton-Williams-yv9qo Mike, you want me to go back in the video to check? Is that what you are asking? I'm sorry to disappoint you but I dont remember. I filmed 35 videos in Thailand alone.

[@MikePaton-Williams-yv9qo]

@@DJsFoodTravelsapologies, I watched again and Mathew says "ribeye". But he says it fast. I try and watch and like all your vlogs and the Thai trip has been epic.

I brown mine!

[@JanetBrown-px2jn]

Perhaps they didn’t want to over cook the meat,it’s so thin if you keep it on the flat top till it’s brown the meat will be dry.

[@jacquelinemoore7839]

Id have called it a french stick.

[@stevestewart480]

Better than Thais trying to copy more authentic. Would you expect an Italian to cook New York strip steak ?
