🥒 ABOUT BEFRS:
Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer.

If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.

    Hi Sonny.... Greetings from Puerto Rico. My husband and I love your videos and we are so glad you visited P.R. We're are born and raised here, and live here all our lives. I want to clarify something. We don't call it "tamales" in P.R. the correct name is "pasteles". It look like "tamales" actually, almost in all latinamerica people call it that way, no matter the difference in ingredients from one country to another, but here, the right way to call it is "pasteles". You can have two kind of "pasteles". One with "masa" of green banana, and the other with "yuca" also know as cassave. "Pasteles" are a delicious traditional dish served in Puerto Rico , specially during Christmas. The origins of pasteles, however, can be traced back several centuries to Spanish colonial times. Thank you so much for visiting our precious island.

    I went on a huge binge on this channel about a year ago and I’m going to do another! This has to be one of the best channels I’ve ever seen on YouTube! Thank you to Sonny and the team and all the fans! 🎉
  • @AlanMru
    Sunny called Pasteles Tamales Im dying
  • I own a pig farm in Tennessee and this is probably the best looking whole pig I have ever seen. Incredible
  • @JUNKEdDudek
    You can tell you and Oro are really good friend/family! You guys keep your friendship solid!
  • @HappyGothGal
    My Abuelo is native Puerto Rican, as in my ancestors were Native Americans. He was murdered in NYC before I ever knew him & my parents raised me as a white girl from NJ. Thank you so much, Sonny and Oro! I've learned more about my heritage from you than from any of my ancestors, please keep it coming! 🇵🇷 💖
  • I went to Puerto Rico for the first time last Summer and I immediately fell in love! This is a beautiful island, the people are friendly, the food is GREAT, I love their culture! Visiting this country was a remarkable experience. I'm going back this year to explore the country side and I can't wait!
  • @bigjay322
    Sonny those are PASTELES!! And not papaya that's pumpkin they shred. Love the videos!
  • Very Filipino I must say. The similarities in food culture between the Boriquas and the Pinoys are astounding 😮
  • @eduardomatos8405
    I love that you went to the parts where most youtubers never go to. Homemade food is the best food.
  • @8325A
    This is heart of puertorican cosine, you can't get any closer! Good job!
  • @anoneemus6097
    Puerto Rico looks lovely and so does their food. But I have to say both look very similar to places in the Philippines and the food as well, probably due to the spanish influence.
  • @levimichal
    Not a tamale it is a pastel. Thank you for sharing the island. I miss Puerto Rico, la Isla del Encanto
  • @user-on1sq9pl4e
    Thank you so much for your videos. Oro is a wonderful personality and co-host. He is genuinely a beautiful soul and is “fun” and “funny” with you on your food ventures. ❤

    When they were marinating the whole "Lechon", it was not only Salt and Pepper, it was Salt, Pepper, and Garlic - FYI.
