Thank you for honouring Ben, we truly miss him 🙏🏼

[@ando77721]

I married into a huge Filipino family. We are coming there this weekend for a wedding and I am looking forward to showing them this location. I’m like the Clark Griswold of the family so I will be the tour guide that has never been to New York. Thank you for all of your information. Your videos have been so helpful.

[@bonniepwtf]

Made me cry, I always have such a strong reaction when I think of young Ben. He will always have a place in my heart.💔 He gave so much joy.

[@suefitz2498]

Love the reference to Ben, and what better way to celebrate him than showcasing Filipino food and culture. I loved the restaurants, the people, most of the food and the generosity of spirit all round. ❤❤

[@racheladap6512]

Ben was my videographer for my wedding and family friend!! I’m pregnant now and craving Filipino food so I stumbled onto this video. I’m so happy he got a shoutout 🥲 Thanks for honoring him. May his joy and passion live on through other creators 🤍

WHAT Ben died?! I've been binge watching your videos lately coz I have a planned trip to NYC later this month and stumbling upon your videos and seeing your man behind the camera & co-host is a fellow Filipino makes it even fun to watch and now he's gone 😥 Hats off to the guy , I will still continue to support you and his memory will live on your videos 😇🙏

[@HereBeBarr]

thank you

We miss you Ben, you taught us all that if it ain't messy, it ain't right

Looks delicious and such a nice tribute to Ben. Nicely done, Jon.

[@dennislaprade8039]

Oh man, I haven't watched this channel much this past year, just been too busy, so I missed the news of Ben's passing. So sorry for you loss, he seemed like an amazing friend to know.

[@TheVillagesGuys]

Ben was so genuine and down to earth and was a perfect match with Barrio. They vibed so well together. It was so heartbreaking to lose Ben so soon, but we know he is resting in Heaven ❤ what a great way to dedicate a video in his memory.

[@IvySilvias28]

Wow proud Filipino here. Thank you for featuring us Jon. ❤missed Ben😢

[@trippyerinsd]

Ben, we miss you and it’s nice to see your face in this video. Think of you often. 💜🎥

[@archiox0628]

One thing that always fascinates me as a Filipino is how people of other cultures seem to be stumped on the spoon and fork combo of utensils. Like, how in the world is using a spoon to scoop rice harder than using fork for them?

[@woojinbloo44]

It's what they're used to. You can say it's their norm or even part of their culture (not using forks and spoons). It's the same for us when it comes to fork and knife combo which we very rarely use.

[@edvaira6891]

I have the great luck to live in one of the biggest Filipino communities in Southern California (Mira Mesa in Northeastern San Diego) and we have many really solid places, mostly little humble places in strip malls that are just such a nice change of pace

[@homerb3368]

@edvaira6891 So you are at Manila North 🤩any good Filipino places on your list of recommended food stops? 😊😃

[@juliangines6764]

Me, a Filipino, watching this while eating my lunch with a spoon, was absolutely CALLED OUT. Also, thank you for dedicating this video to Camera man Ben.

[@ginagibson8141]

Bringing a Filipino to eat with you is a wise move. He did perfectly taught you eating fil. food the right way.

[@quimdelacruz7021]

Finally! A true filipino, using patis for sawsawan to a sinigang!

[@corgeousgeorge]

Jersey city right by Manhattan has a very large filipino commty , and their food is incredible.

[@lilypad342]

The best video! I’m in tears. Salamat.

[@doktorapedia]

Thank you for this video. These dishes are my favorites. I'm glad they are slowly gaining recognition.

[@JanuWaray]

Filipina here. The most possible explanation why knives were not encouraged to be used during meals must have originated among the Spaniards being scared those sharp objects would be used to butcher them. Ok. Perhaps, it was the Americans who restricted knife use on the Filipino table. Just imagine how they must have felt while dining with Filipinos such as the fearless, straightforward, and aggressively patriotic General Antonio Luna!

[@moogiemoogs]

Filipino here from the Philippines. Can't wait to check out Little Manila when I go to NYC later this year 😄

[@Firestorm550x]

I loved this prerecorded video all the delicious Filipino foods made me so hungry! Thanks for sharing Jon😊❤️😊

Please can you do a video showing plant based food options in NYC? Planning on coming in May and have heard great things but struggling to find many menus online

For the cannolis it would be great if they used lumpia wrapper. More crispy.

[@samskee415]

For the bbq we can get calamansi here in the bay area but if not lemon is fine but 7UP/Sprite is used regardless in the marinade for me.

Sisig and Crispy Pata, best beer foods!

FYI, The name Kamote or Camote (Sweet potato) is derived from the Nahuatl word camotli, which came from Mexico and other central american countries.

[@NobleDemonTim]

The Galleon boat trade route gave the world camote from Mexico.
