Fun fact. Some places hide truffles ahead of time so the guests don't feel let down. There is a reason they are so rare.

@@TheNuprin711 i wonder how yummy the pig eating all the truffles would be? 😁

Yo Mike! Where's that wedding video you said you'll post? What are you hiding hahah

Best steak I've ever had in my life was in Florence Italy at a restaurant called Paoli's..that was in 1972 and I still remember it to this day!

I love how the woman was like “guys please if you need something don’t be shy” how sweet 🥺❤️

That dog is a Lagotto Romagnolo, a dog bred for truffle hunting. They are great pets too lol

I love Tuscany. I remember how incredible the flowers were and the amazing sweet smell in the air. The food, wine, and people were lovely. I totally understand why Italians are relaxed and create some of the best food in the world.

I've visited Italy several times, this makes me want to go back...In the Umbrian region that thick soup is usually served in a big bowl, they call it something like "pilgrims soup"...it's cheap to make but very delicious. And yep, many places that serve steak will cook it their way and it's usually very rare.

The view from your hotel room was spectacular! I feel like I'd be happy with just that view, the sandwiches from that shop you went to and a pot of coffee. Feels like utter bliss.

the view from the hotel room had me feeling like I was watching a movie!! i want to go see it myself so badly.

Mikey, what an adventure! It brings back so many memories of when my husband & I were stationed in Italy (La Maddalena near Sardinia). I think you have to grow some truffle oak trees on your property. Cheers! ❤️

Hostess “ guys don’t be shy eat more “. You don’t have to tell Mikey twice 😂

All of it looks so amazing, never seen soup like that before!

What a beautiful scenery and great food as always, thanks for taking us around the world~ :D

Mike just fyi you’re supposed to twirl the pasta around the fork, slurping is considered rude unlike when eating ramen for example

this is the kind of videos i want, when i look out for a traveler video. wow this this was amazing! long time fan, but this was amazing! best video in at least 2 years

Slurp, slurp, slurp

I'm from tuscany! Can't believe I get to enjoy this video

slurps pasta like ramen lol

You should look into VR tours! You might be able to "walk" around in more foreign countries/cities than you think. But how much does Mikey make it feel like he's taking you along with him 🥰 so good!

Dry soups, and the egg yolk pasta looks dry too, that's why they offer you the fancy water menú.

I love Florentine steak and the restaurant looked amazing! My favorite part of this upload was the mega stuffed prosciutto sandwich while just soaking in the atmosphere out on the hotel room patio.... What a dreamy place to be at. 💕

Mike Chen, only guy to routinely eat 3 star meals in a t-shirt. Love it

This was definitely some of your best work Mike. But that steak!!!To die for.

Mike, your travel videos are my favorites. Beautiful area! Thank you for sharing with us.

It is on my bucket list to bring my family (kids 9,12 and husband) to Tuscany. I went in college and I long to go back. It is some of the most stunningly beautiful vistas I have ever experienced in my life.

Mr Chen in Italy you twist the pasta moderately around fork to fit your mouth and place in your mouth without slurping. It is not noodles. Beautiful place, views and adventures

Weirdly enough, in Tuscany, that's not true. Eat it like asian noodles, but do try not to slurp. I grew up with that culture. Twisting would have gotten you scolded. Maybe they twist now, I dunno. Been a while since I was there.

The sandwich looks amazing. One of these days I have got to get to Italy.

Hey Mike! You forgot to include all the places you went in the info box down below.

OMG Mike, when you said they don't use truffle pigs I actually thought you said they use ducks. Ducks. I can totally get onboard having a Truffle Duck!!

Actually we don’t fully know why truffles grow the way they do. They favor conditions but we don’t know all of it like why they choose one spot over another when the conditions are exactly the same or why certain types of truffles like that spot. All we can do is find them and that’s all.

@andrewg.t9714

Farmers grow truffles by inoculating the roots of saplings with truffle spores, then harvesting the truffles in 6 to 7 years. This technique was first recorded in 1969. However, growing truffles requires a complex combination of appropriate weather conditions, soil chemistry, and a bit of luck to grow successfully.

Anybody else get anxiety with him holding us over the balcony while he ate that sandwich LOL

I love all your shows it is the best keep up the bless work😋😋😋♥️

This was a fun video to watch, really enjoyed that balcony view and the truffle excursion! Thanks for taking us along!

As soon as I saw that clock tower i was like waiiiiit a dang minute that looks so familiar and then you said its where they filmed twilight & I flipped !lol 😂

I did the same truffle tour when I was Italy in 2018..the tour was not cheap but it worth every penny. The couple that run the tours are very nice people.

That black garlic pasta resembled squid ink pasta. I've never tried either, but willing to give them both a shot. That steak could feed me for 2 days though. I don't know if its polite to ask for a take home container, but if not, I would wrap it in a napkin and put under my shirt if I had to! Love your videos!

The entire food here is sheer decadence You can’t beat a hand cut and sawn tbone mikey,as you know already. Heck of a trip. 🙌

I think of all the places you've visited, this would be the one I'd most want to go to myself. I think it might be hard to leave at the end of the trip.

phew! for a second i thought he was going to slurp the pasta which is respectful in some asian countries but super disrespectful in Italy :b

The location of a good truffle patch is guarded and the secret is held for generations. A good truffle hound is venerated. My Dad would love that steak. Mine would have to be a lot less pink.

Every time I tell people leaner meat has more concentrated beefy flavor they freak out. I get more flavor from something like a filet or a strip than a ribeye. Ribeye is too rich and I dont mean in flavor, it's just fat and fat it self doesn't have flavor like the actual meat does. The perfect steak is a nice marbled strip or filet.

I'd love the truffle your and meal. The view WOW.Thanks Mike!

That seafood broth looked delicious.
