🥒 ABOUT BEFRS:
Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but currently call Vietnam home. 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.

Sonny, you do realize that you've manage to connect Hmong people from all around the world. Something that has always been desired but has never been done entirely and as entertaining. You're teaching and preserving our culture all while being funny as hell. Shout outs to you and your team. Yall are awesome! Someone invite Sonny for some Hmong Sausage 👀
Hmong sausage is laos
So the Hmong sausage pizza at Checker Bar is originally a Lao sausage pizza? 🤔

I was hoping when you got back to the USA, you would feature the Hmong living in the USA too. Love seeing and hearing the Hmong people and language!
YOG!
I think it’s coming up because ppl have ordered him at Hmong village
Wisconsin is in the USA
@@christylatham6429 kids these days are not that smart anymore. They get taught about trans people only now
his in Wincosin.
As a Black person living in Wi, I have several Hmong friends, everything they are showing I can attest to. I tried cow heart, squid balls, raw beef in my Pho which I like. I've even tried pig brain, that wasn't my forte lol but I like seeing how the Asian community works together and get alot of their food naturally. There's a good size Hmong population in Minnesota. That pepper sauce is great, when they make me a pan of egg rolls, I eat them with that pepper sauce😍🔥. It's fantastic.
I worked in a Vietnamese kitchen for years and the raw beef Pho is really legit, I think the family I worked for had some Hmong roots along the way because some things I'm seeing in their culture in these videos is similar. But I love Pho, we were only closed one day a week and that was either a cleaning day for the restaurant but in Winter it was Pho prep day, cooking the bones and soaking the bean sprouts, Thai basil trimming, trimming the beef, and getting everything ready to be made for service on Monday. It was all done very much with love, time, trad. ingredients
@@vonamon316 Nice. They do indeed share similarities.
I went to school with some. Their parents were the typical conservative hmong parents.
"you always win when you're humble" i love the mindset of these people and how they care so much to preserve their tradition. thank you Sonny for shedding light on this little community!
💯❤️
Well said
Nice handwriting
In your series about the Hmong, you have taught more about our culture and history than the entire US education system combined. Thank you.
True. I have never heard of the Hmong people. I had no idea that they don't have a country any more. Despite this, they still maintain their heritage and spirit! Amazing!
I screwed up at 19 and ended up in jail, and at one point my bunkmate was a 16 year old kid who i thought was chinese. After a couple of days he opened up and told me he was Hmong. I wasn't an idiot in school, i paid attention and was in the upper 10th percentile in my class but had never ever been told or taught about the Hmong people. He told me all about their plight and how they had no official land to call their home. Learned a lot from that kid, and he ended up getting sentenced to 20 years in prison at 16 for being an accessory to murder. I sometimes wonder if he's been released or if he ended up stuck in the system.

@@RogueStatusX what were you in for? And how many years did you do?
Yeah in US education they don’t really teach that much about Asian cultures I really wish they did though.
She got it so correct...
Being humble is very important.
Being humble is the foundation of respect.
Wisconsin is such an underrated state, so full of culture and beauty. I grew up in Appleton, WI around many Hmong communities. The Hmong people truly are amongst the most humble and kind.
Naw Wisconsin is racist asf
@@mnc0088 bro as someone from Wisconsin that can’t be farther from the truth. As someone from the la cross area and being around Hmong in my community we are extremely friendly and I’ve only heard good experiences from both sides
what about chai vang?
True my friend!!!!!
Yah......Wisconsin is Racist asf!!
Thank you for being so respectful, Sonny. This was an amazing episode, a masterpiece. No rush, no flashy fancy eating, just humble storytelling. This could be one of the Top-3 episodes of BEFRS ever.
That's really nice way to put it!!!!!!
I’m not Hmong but I’m smiling and loving this. You can find almost every other culture from the world in the USA.
True but some ethnic lost the culture as they being American.
@oh hi depends on where you're at. in Fresno, CA, it can lasts like two to three weeks sometimes and becomes more of a economical event rather than cultural event.
Love the scene that the family talk about their history and traditions! We can see how they have supported each other and cherished their business 😊✨
What delightful people
Amazing dignity and as she said humility
@with me JAPAN Hi there, you're cute! ♡
♥️♥️

EXACTLY 💯 THAT'S WHAT I SAID
Yes Humble, Always! Never compromise your dignity ! 👍👍👍
Hmong girl here. And the food and tradition is authentic as it gets. Glad to see them carry out our tradition.
See why this channel is named "best ever"? Really proud of you sonny!
thats a really cool family, glad they are passing there traditions
I knew several Hmong refugees who settled in Nashville, Tn. and brought their wonderful food culture with them. We owe our greatness to our acceptance, not our exclusion. ❤
thank you for giving my people a chance and a chance at our food and culture. We have deep history and have come a long way as a clan. thank you for showing many around the world my people!
My family is Vietnamese and we had an identical experience having to flee Vietnam and immigrate here to the US. Watching their Diane’s family succeeding as ours is so great to see. I wish their family continued success. Great video Sonny showing us other success stories.
Wisconsin and Hmong! I’m so proud and happy to see my home state and part of my culture shared with the world!!! 🌎 💕💕💕
Where is it in wisconsin?, my daughter lives in madison? She had a friend who sells vegetables in farmers market in Madison before the pandemic.

But you have Mexican last name
@@Nestor420officialpage lol I’m using my wife’s account
🇺🇸🇺🇸ll'd fry up that skin for those people and make chicharrones for them. The Hmong people are underrated in America. They stuck their neck out for American troops. And were persecuted for it and The Americans really pretty much didn't help as much as they should have. So my dad told me. He fought with and trained Hmong villages
Thank your father on behalf our Hmong people for his help in understanding our Hmong people. I hope he is doing well and be blessed for being the great person that he is. Much love and hope all is well with your father and your family. Take care.

White guy here (meeka), married to a Wisconsin Hmong girl. They are an awesome people. I am constantly learning more about their culture all the time. My mother in law's chicken larb is one of my favorite foods in the world. I'm pretty sure I like more Hmong food than my wife. But she can eat egg rolls all the time. I get sick of those after awhile. Their hot pepper condiment with dried hot chilies, green onion, cilantro, and fish sauce is awesome!
I’m so happy that we are getting recognized as a community our ancestors fought so hard for us to have freedom
I hope this is a start to a series of finding people of different cultures living in the US and how they preserve their traditions. This is so cool!
That would be fricking amazing!
I really loved this episode. I learned so much watching your previous videos about the Hmong people. With this video I learned what a great help they were in the war and how they were punished for it once we left the country. That sucked! I'm so happy this family has survived and flourished here in America. What a precious family. Great job Sonny! 🙏♥️💯
Well done positive story .... hmong are good family people ... I feel they have real American values.
omg man you gotta do more like this! Like a series of other cultures you may have experienced but here in the US
♥️♥️

I love how the daughter is so proud of her father's bile cooking. Good job on this video, Sonny! Enjoyed this one so much!
Thanks for letting people know about Hmong people Sonny! We all truly appreciate you!
I only had ever heard of the Hmong people when watching Clint Eastwood's movie Gran Torino. I was so happy to see and watch this video and get a much better perspective of these incredibly hard working and traditional people!❤
Thank you for bringing awareness to the Hmong culture on your show. It makes me extremely proud ♥️

That was a wonderful presentation Sonny, thank you. And it was great to see this family liberated from their country and relocated in the US. Now they are living traditionally and free. Cheers.
I have many Hmong friends and you did a great job of showing what beautiful people they are. I love that you caught the pot belly pig, nothing like catching your own dinner!
Always appreciate when big youtubers show Hmong people some love. ❤
The dad has some real Clint Eastwood vibes! That's what a hardworking person looks like
From where Hmong people started and where we are now, I love to see this.❤️ All these dishes I loved as a kid and even as a kid. The first dish was very basic with just boiled chicken, vegetables, and eaten with Thai peppers and salt. Very basic but the most comfortable and wholesome dish I loved as a kid.❤️❤️❤️
it would be great to spend more time with that family. we have a lot to learn
Wisconsin is one of my favorite states..It was great to see these hmong people living much like how i grew up..America really is a land of opportunity..

@e93 You make no sense
as a Hmong American living in Wisconsin....thanks for this episode...love your videos watch it all the time...you are the kind of white friends I had growing up knowing that Hmongs are different but enjoying them as a human being who are obviously different then you...enuff said about that subject..lol
In your series about the Hmong, you have taught more about our culture and history than the entire US education system combined. Thank you.
I think this is one of the best videos you guys have ever made. I know little about the Hmong people. Learning about their way of life and their journey is awesome. It's great to learn about other cultures right here in our own backyard. I think you guys should make more videos like these, show the rest of the world just how vastly diverse we all are and enjoy the food at the same time. Good job
Your show is not all about food ..it is about culture, traditions, people and their history.... full of life show...and as the girl said humbleness wins... Very deep philosophy of life practised by Hmong communities 👏👏 salute from India
This channel is already better than a lot of high production documentaries.
What an amazing humble family after all that they have gone through, Sonny please keep trying to meet diverse families from different cultures and share their food and life experiences with us🙏🏾
Very beautiful traditions
I love the family connection. Beautiful people and beautiful culture
I love going to the farmers markets here in Wisconsin and purchasing food grown by Hmong families.
you actually made this episode amazing. ppl don’t realize how much hmong ppl have helped us in vietnam. i know another family in wisconsin that are hmong
I loved this episode. Brought a few tears to my eyes and happy to see a family and culture continuing on!
Now this is what I'm talking about. True hmong soul food. Awesome job to this family for providing actual hmong food.
When u were 16 did u looked 30 too
That was awesome 👌
Here we have these saviors of American soldiers in Vietnam. Welcome to the US and thank you for helping the American soldiers 🙏. Your family will always be respected and loved by me! ❤
Wow! As a Filipino I never thought we had the same way of cooking as they are, even tho we came from South East Asia.
Yeah you guys also look like them 😑

i'm from indiana. 77 . we have had geinne fowl all my life. ours run loose, they make great burgler alarms. we eat all the organs meats. i think alot of the reason that the diet is so alike that we were poor. we ate everything but no bile soup. sorry about sp. love peace. raz
First time I've seen Guinea fowl since I was a teenager. I'm from northern Los Angeles. Family origin was Arkansas and Texas. Cool. 👍🤑🤠😎🥰👍
Wonderful people, real asset to America. And I am as WAP as you can be, but am glad to welcome them.
These are very brave people during the Vietnam war. I am Chinese Vietnamese. I thanks you for fighting with us during the war.
I love this video just like all the others but this family reminds me of my family. Such humble people and all about family.
I live in Sacramento CA always lived around Hmong family’s very respectful, humble, loving and giving.
💯🌎👀🙏🏽
What a beautiful family. 😊
Full of love and care for one another. ❤️
Sonny, thanks for showing how special the Hmongs are, our culture, and history. This video was was very relatable to me as I am Hmong. I’m glad you were able to enjoy your time with our Hmong Folks.
Being from Fresno it is really nice seeing Hmong in other parts of the country. There is a book that explains the Hmong assistance in Laos. But, my best picture is of General Vang Pao dedicating the Hmong Vietnam memorial in Fresno. Many military leaders have had traditional funerals in Fresno, I'm just sad that many weren't honored as well during this recent time. We are losing them fast, time to renew the tradition.
Ayyyy! Ever been to YOLO !? 😁
I enjoyed this episode very much. I would say top 5. These are great people sharing their culture. Thank you Sonny. I think episodes on all the different cultures who came to the USA would be great. Keep up the great content!
Love Hmong Americans. Most resilient and communal people in America.
Them Hmong are great farmers.Friendly people too ! We Cambodian love them.
This is so immensely interesting, I love meeting and learning of new cultures. I saw your previous capsule episodes of the Hmong people their culture and food and immensely admire them for striving to be true to themselves by maintaining it. They are a beautiful people have an integrity unmatched here in America. Americans maintain your freedoms and acceptability of other cultures, that is the best of what we represent and what makes America great! Defend it with your integrity before we lose it! 🇺🇸🙏🏽♥️✨
one of the best videos by far
I would like to thank them for helping our military
Now that family mealing! Family, tradition, and cohesiveness. Well done and earned a suscribe.
Where's the bandana Sonny!
It's Wisconsin!
That’s the original Hmong food!
Love simple food like this.
What a life he has. To experience all these cultures. A true ambassador.
This is the best way to do it! I have my potbelly pigs, guineas, chicken, turkey, and quail. Growing them all and harvesting them is the best gift. You know where it comes from and what they’ve eaten. So fresh
Indeed... "Families That Eat Together, Stay Together"
You've done a lot of shows that I love, but for some reason this is the first one that I've watched twice back to back! I loved it that much... just can't quite put my finger on why!!
what a fantastic family!
Beautiful episode. Husband is Laotian Hmong born in a Thailand refugee camp. He literally had no country (the exact words of USCIS). Spreading the awareness, flavors, and culture is the best we can do.
Amazing, this episode is exactly why i love your channel. You're able find people's story, culture and cuisine, and feature it in such a deep, personal and interesting way.
Please, PLEASE visit the Hmong community in Fresno, CA for the New Year holiday. I'm as Caucasian as they come, but I plan on traveling to Fresno for the celebration this year (I am about 2 hrs away) because you have introduced me to this amazing community of people.
Bring cash as most vendors are cash only. Enjoy the food!
nice.. I usually go one day to find something good to eat... I usually just eat Montana Q's bbq ribs and sticky rice... lol. and yes, they make the trip from Montana...
we use to grow them in Romania, because old ppl use to belive that this birds are haveing special sences to prevent bad weter, and danger...they start to screem if something unknown come to close to the home.... i love them...they are smart
These guys seem like some of the most genuine people who had nothing but love for their roots and seemed to treat you as not just a guest but a extra family member it was nice to see
What a great find, a Hmong family with a farm in Wisconsin. I loved the show❤️️
Loving your Midwest content! I'm from Wisconsin so I've grown up with many Hmong co-workers and classmates. However, I've always wanted to know more about their food traditions etc. beyond what I see from the outside. Thank you for that opportunity. I realize you're trying to be on your best behavior here...I'm loving it! Even the hair reveal :) Thank you to the host family for welcoming Sonny into their home - it was an awesome experience. My uncle raises guinna hens - noisy guys but oh do they love ticks.
LOVE THE HISTORY AND THE NATIVE FOOD IM CHEF ARMANDO FROM PHILIPPINES GOD BLESS
So many people have forgotten that the Hmong were not only translators, but took up weapons and fought alongside the Americans and South Vietnamese. That is why they are in America. They had a far more difficult time to adapt than the South Vietnamese which were urbanized and more worldly.
Can we all appreciate the fact that Sonny never disappointed us with his content 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤚
Your 100% right friend
Those birds are called Guinea fowls, they are originally from Ghana. How do they get them to Wisconsin?
Literally, NEVER🔥🤝
@@johnamoako6806 He did say the birds, guinea fowls, are endemic to Africa at the beginning and said he tasted it in Nigeria.
I'm a Hmong American and I'm very happy that you spent the time to share a glimpse of the lives of Hmong people in various countries. I'm also a Hmong Shaman that can share a new perspective into our Hmong culture. Anywho, keep making all the great content and you're a awesome person brother. Just from watching your videos and watching how you interact with people from all different parts of the world. I feel like you and I would be good friends. Love what you are doing and uniting everyone through food, which is the best way to get to know each other. If you're ever in Fresno, California. Please contact me if you have time. I would love to chat with you and share more about the different Asian food out here and share you more about our hmong culture and what a shaman is. Anywho, you be safe and stay blessed. We love your videos and we love watching how you are fearless when you're trying different foods around the world. You would be a champion if the show Fear Factor with Joe Rogan was still around. Keep winning and keep being you my brother.
Glad you're in the Midwest.
Be humble.. you always win you're humble.. (love it)
Amazing! It’s funny Bc I’m born and raised in USA and my dream is to live like them. I would be so damn happy to own the farm next to them. I would be in heaven!!!
👍♥️
czcams.com/video/8rahTTrpoxw/video.html
Loved watching this seeing people embrace culture and traditions ♥️♥️
The host does another excellent job of asking questions, inserting humor and remaining humble. My friend who is a viet holds an alter with food layed out, these folks explaining why they do the same for their ancestors souls to remain at rest was interesting and a powerful statement. Thank you.
Thats the maddest profile pic ive ever seen 😆
I found that part incredibly interesting, that they set out food for their ancestors because "when their souls are hungry they want something to eat". It's such a simple thing, but so profound at the same time!
As for the host, he's been living in Vietnam for years, so he's very familiar with asian cultures and cuisines, and he's always been such a charming guy. He shows respect, while also recording their culture (food, after all, is a huge part of what 'makes us us'), and pretty sure he's engaged or married to a vietnamese woman. So it's not too surprising that he understands humility, while also playing up his personality for the audience.
I love this show, been binging for years.
Your profile picture tho' 🔥🔥🤣🤣
nice to meet you
@@marley354 nice to meet you
Man vs.Wild Bear grylls and your show is my favourite -Good job-Love from *India*
"We know that we have to evolve but keeping some of the tradition alive is very important"
I couldn't agree more. Couldn't have said it better myself.
I've seen alot of Hmong food videos made in America, but I have to say this is the closes to authenticity.
I was worried he was just going to go to Hmong Village and proclaim those foods as Hmong food. Lol
This is another excellent show I learned alot. Thanks for coming back to USA and showing the viewers the different cultures and how they live.
Amazing family and their tradition. Very comforting family gathering and sharing with you, Sonny!
We need to bring the street food cultures of the other side of the world to North America.
What an amazing family.
Proud to be Hmong.
Thank you for showcasing our Hmong Culture and telling our story of the secret war. ♥️
The War was only Secret to U.S citizens because the Government wants to keep the peace loving story going. It is well known to all the dead and their families.
Looks like a beautiful life! God bless 👍💪🇺🇸🍻
