The best part about this series with Sheldon is that he doesn't steal the show. The other series seem very focused on the presenter, but here the focus seems laser focused on the restaurants and their owners. Really great work.

He speak so beautifully of his wife. Inspiring story.

"If everyone marches together, we can accomplish incredible things" What an inspirational and humble chef. Awesome cinematography and truly beautiful to see such passion in not only telling a story but living. Kudos to the host as-well for such a pleasing segment!

@julianschaper178 6 лет назад

I must say you are one of the best host's on Eater, you bond so well with the chefs and often also with their family. It makes it amazing to watch, you can really understand where the chefs come from. It's a very beautiful thing to see, keep it up!

@dostoveskiee 6 лет назад

Very true.. I think he's the only host who is a chef, which is likely why he connects better with people on eater videos than the other hosts.

No shade to the other hosts but can Eater just make a playlist of all Sheldon's videos it's clear the people love him

@sarceneaux2010 6 лет назад

Its refreshing to see stories like this that inspire people and let them know that their story is out there waiting to be written. This dude is a genuine person with a big heart. That is a dying trait in todays selfish world. Im going to this restaurant just because of this video!

Remembering back to my younger days, trying some red ants because I saw my cat eating them. turns out they tasted like sweet tarts

Great guys, not the usual exaggerated young American way of talking.

@Zennofobic 3 года назад

I once ate some Cheetoh's at a picnic that were covered in black ants but I didn't look before I grabbed a handful and threw them in my mouth. Very peppery and spicy although I didn't care for the feeling of them crawling around in my mouth.

@betitoroks 6 лет назад

@jcarlos100 6 лет назад

@TheOneAndOnlyMrH 3 года назад

The ants look big enough to bite your head off - also I wouldn't mind trying them :-) Honestly everything looks so tasty but I'm in the UK :/

@deathpyre42 6 лет назад

Wait, can those ants be farmed? It might be a nice alternative to those baby shrimps that could be farmed on desert land.

@Metro2033fan21 6 лет назад

It actually tastes really good.

@loimac5105 6 лет назад

I'm sure it does but I can't get past the psychological aspect of it. Just like the way I can't imagine eating brains.

@TwistedD85 6 лет назад

Ants and other insects are a huge food source for a lot of the world. If you get the chance you ought to at least give things a try, otherwise you might go through life missing your favorite food.

@SoliTary001 6 лет назад

Can i watch something food related without the host saying fucking Umami?

@buttacookies 6 лет назад

the host needs to practice better etiquette. "it's like a pizza..."

@daveharris5914 6 лет назад

he actually said "I don't want to say it but"

@buttacookies 6 лет назад

Dave Harris yeh. i heard it. but if he didnt wanna say it, why did he say it?

@daveharris5914 6 лет назад

coz it's like pizza?

@buttacookies 6 лет назад

Dave Harris the only time you say 'i dont wanna be rude' or 'i dont wanna say this' is when something sounds negative. you can tell by that whole awkward exchange. he even tried to cover up by making a another statement right away. he didnt have to say it the way he did. hence, needs better etiquette if hes gonna host.

@buttacookies 6 лет назад

Jason Chiang good one.

@fuzzy346 6 лет назад

If this video is meant for english speakers; then why not subtitle the chef?

@lilpinche918 6 лет назад

If you can't understand what he's saying maybe you should leave the gated community every once in a while.

@Char12403 6 лет назад

Because he's speaking English.

@coolumar335 6 лет назад

with excellent grammar and inflection as well. Truly, how anyone can berate immigrants speaking their own language when they can speak English just as well, I don't know.

Wealthy, successful man who has built an empire from nothing is criticized by someone who likes Buckcherry and a video called "girl buys condoms". Irony is not dead.
