    It was so satisfying to watch you enjoy some of the food in my country. Thanks for giving insight into what the regular people of Korea might eat on a typical day. I've personally eaten in 4 of the 7 places you visited and I have to say, you are quite the food connoisseur!

    I've been watching since you started out. Your remark of why you like SK, I can't imagine you'd visit any country that didn't have amazing food ! After watching you eat tons (literally) of noodles, I bought every Ramen in my small town. I always thought they were versions of spaghetti, but gladly have been educated. Whatever happened to your Texas Restaurant ? Keep on eating, you lucky guy ! I'm 70 & cannot eat super spicey foods anymore. I raised bell peppers this year, sadly missing my spicy pepper plants😢...lol.

    Tipping is not the culture in Asia. Sure we can tip if we want to but usually the tax and service charge is already included into the price. Way better cos I won't feel obligated to otherwise server spits in my food. I alr pay for the extra charges which is inclded into whatever i'm paying. It's sad if a restaurant is dependant on tips to survive.@@thelastbison2241

    Bruh, if you want to call yourself a foodie, you simply must know the difference between green onions and chives. Just saying.
