Man, it's so nice to see Mikey auctioning his things and giving money to charity. It really lifted my mood today. Also I hope there will be vlogs from the journey, just like there were when Mikey moved from NY? I can't remember, I have been following him for too long. Anyway, I really loved those.

As a native Texan, I can honestly say it will be a joy to welcome you to Texas. I am sorry we have scary heatwaves. I hope you stay hydrated during those times. Because every summer it is about 115*- 130*F. No joke. And it hardly ever snows. Summer lasts until November. Winter is basically December- February. Houston is one of the hottest places because it is a large concrete city that will absorb a lot of heat. Good luck to you and your new journey in life. I'm sorry your bike got stolen. Take care. And safe travels.

Mikey, as a born and raised Washingtonian in the Puget Sound it was great having you experience at least a bit of what we have to offer. If you ever have a chance to come back please remember you are always welcome with open arms. My best friend who grew up in a military family and has just over 500 days left in the Air Force has also been all over the world agrees with you that this is the place he wants to call home for many of the reasons you state. Just don't tell everyone...lol
I'm watching this eating homemade congee liberally doused with Mike's Crispy Garlic Chili Oil! I'm living the dream.
Am I the only one that prefers this channel SLIGHTLY over Strictly Dumplings. I love Mikey’s vlogs.
As someone who has been in Seattle my whole life, this video is making me a bit emotional. Mike, so happy you got to explore this place and you better come back because there is still so much for you to explore. Till you eat again in Seattle. We'll see you again next time.

Travel tip: Always carry a small case with emergency supplies like a couple pairs of disposable chopsticks, an Asian soup spoon, several Shout wipes, some compressed dry wipes, a couple of ziplock baggies, and a sharp knife. After being caught without while on a business trip, I never leave home without these things. :) Happy travels, Mikey. Stay safe!

Mike thank you so much for the inspiration you have been giving me in your enthusiastic food vlogging! You have been making me feel better despite quitting my job because of discrimination and mental breakdown. I always watch your inspiring videos. Thank you so muchhh!
I know the feeling that Mike talked about. For me, it was my tiny single bed room on campus back when I was in college. So many memorable nights coming in that room passed out drunk and waking up hungover, grinding throughout the night for exams, watching movies on a Saturday night on my laptop with 0 responsibilities on mind, trying to make a decent meal without a stove top, etc.
I'll miss your videos from Seattle and I wish you could spend more time there but I can't wait to see your videos from your BBQ in Texas. It's also so incredible that you're selling almost everything you have and giving the money to charity; that is incredibly generous Mikey!

I’m so excited to see what the future holds for you Mike!! ❤️
To avoid the sadness of losing any food item, just mail it to yourself next time, especially if your destination is domestic (within the US).
how can someone not like any of you're videos? this is the best thing to watch when hungry, sad, tired, happy, any mood just gets way better with your videos Mike, congrats!
Thanks for being with us in Seattle and the great PNW you always have a home here with us!
He really expects us to believe that he is only eating ONE meal??? Nice try, mister.
@Mikey Chen, we're sorry to see you leave. Thank you for donating so much to charity and showing us so many good places to eat. I know that you will enjoy Texas, but predict that you won't love it as much as here. Too bad that Covid happened at all, but the timing was super inconvenient. There is so much that you weren't able to discover. I was born and raised in Seattle and, although I've lived other places, I think that Washington is the best place to live. I lived in Tx for a short time, but couldn't wait to get back here. Looking forward to your next adventure.
You had me at halo hotpot, yummilicious! 😋 Seattle will surely missed you Mikey for sure , especially those restaurants you supported during covid! I hope you’ll live in Vancouver for 2 months doing food adventure , and exploring the beautiful British Columbia and seeing/bonding with all of your friends here again. I know you’ve been here in Vancouver a few times already, but would be nice if we bumped unto you somewhere, sometime, hehehe! Have a safe trip to your next destination, Texas!! God bless your heart for donating all your stuff and food to raise some money for Charity. We do love that part about you. 🙏❤️🎉🎉 Thank you for always entertaining us about your foodtrip and for the laughs , you never failed to amaze me with your humour and learning from your constructive English. God bless everyone especially your subscribers and followers. Stay happy , witty and inlove....🙃☺️
Mikey to a great move and an even happier new tomorrow!!! Thank you for all you do! 💕
Its sad to see you leave the Seattle area. But I wish you the best on the next part of your journey in life.
Mike I bought your 3 pack hot oil sampler and I gotta say they're all actually really good. My favorite is the black bean sauce, a little sweet salty and spicy. My only issue is if u close the lids on the containers all the way, it's literally impossible to get it back open. I still have not had any more crunchy garlic hot oil because of this lol!
Happy to see you back in Seattle 😃, hard to see you leaving forever 😢
Dude, if you want to hike in a secluded area, get a room at the Big Bend National Park Basin Park. It is so secluded, your car radio finds no radio stations... it just scans... Then, hike the South Rim Trail. It is a 11 mile or so hike and gives you a view of Mexico... Super Cool. You might see a cougar or bear... I did.

mickey is such a considerate guy, hoping someone would make good use of those soup base, instead of being thrown away. I remember watching a video clip, a woman bought some really expensive alcohol at the duty-free shop, but was told it couldn't be on the flight, so she rather pour it into the trash can than let anyone else have it :"(
Hope your move goes well! Stay safe .

I have been watching for 6 months now and I love your vide!! And the food you find looks great always

Planning on moving to Seattle this year for the same reasons you did! Been visiting since October 2019 and go as often as I can. I love that city!

Oh I've wanted to recreate your hot oil recipe, but I'd also love to buy that 3 pack! I'm so excited for you and the branding possibilities, I'll be grabbing mine tonight to flavor boost all my ramen and soba!!
Congrats on your move and the next chapter in your life story! BTW your chili oil is amazing and insanely addictive! I am allergic to it but my daughter isn't and she LOVES it so much she ate it by the spoonful...in 2 days. Keep up the deliciousness!!!
From everyone here in Seattle, Till We Eat Again Mikey! We'll have the chilly oil ready and waiting!
I’m so glad you got the try Chengdu Memory! It’s my fav hot pot in Seattle!!
It’s 2am and I’m starving 😅 i want a hot pot real quick! 😅
Sorry to see you leave Seattle. I've eaten at many of the places you did videos in and you introduced me to more.
Your awesome I love that you do charitable work it makes me want to support you even more
I got my snacks and I’m READY!!! So excited the thumbnail looked insane!
I ordered my hot oil on Feb 20, and I got a shipment notification last week, but it’s still not here yet. Once it does get here, though, it’ll be game on!
I know that all our lives are different. But cherish your somewhat nomadic existence and embrace the gifts it gives you. Much better than being stuck without an exit plan.
And a new chapter begins.. happy trails Mikey!!
The PNW will miss you too! I enjoyed seeing your videos around Seattle and will miss seeing them, but looking forward to your new adventures..
