Truthfully, I think the four of you were so thrilled to be together that you could have eaten hot dogs and been just as happy. What an experience!
I was smiling through the whole video. You are lucky to have the parents and brother you have.
"dad is always thinking about food." that made me laugh so hard😆 This was so fun and heart warming to watch. Thank you Drew crew!💖

As the mother of two sons, I was so touched by the effort that went in to planning this special day for the parents. I smiled and cried watching it. What an extraordinary family!
I have the impression that your parents did a very good job raising you to be such an interesting, intelligent and open person.
This is it, man! This is the goal! Being able to provide for your loved ones, the moments, the experiences. Nothing else matters. Congratulations Nathaniel! My respect and admiration for you as a person is utmost!
this video has me crying. the passion that you four radiate together is just mesmerizing and contagious. what a beautiful experience.
I'm not a mom but even I was in tears when Sky finally got there to join the rest of you. What a super evening for you and your family. That is something that you'll remember for the rest of your lives. Was it expensive? Yeah, but like you said, the experience for the ones you love was absolutely worth it. Thank you for sharing your experience. My life feels richer for having 'been there' with you.
I always say that someone is a reflection of of their parents and you’re the perfect definition of it. Your parents are the sweetest and the cutest!!! My God! You’re the luckiest guy in the world! Your mom has such a pure eyes and so does your dad! You have a beautiful family Nathaniel! 🩶
Your mom is really an ICON !!
This made me tear up, too, thinking how lovely it would love to do something like this with my loved ones. Well done!
Such a special gift for everyone. A memory, together...To last foever.
Sir, can you please stop making me cry every time I open one of your videos? Your storytelling is truly three-dimensional! 😍 It's such a beautiful surprise, and what I enjoy the most about your family is that you all exude so much love for life that it's just purely therapeutic to watch. Thank you for sharing! 🥰
Love that your mother's entire face smiles with happiness and excitement!! Your parents did a great job raising you and with that base you are going on to become a very intelligent and thoughtful person.
I just wanna say your videos have inspired me in a lot of ways through the time I've followed you. I appreciate your videos a lot.
I just moved to Paris from New York -- where my entire family is and has been my entire life. The feelings you shared about cherishing the time with them when they're close to you are all the more relatable now that I'm across the world from my own parents and sister and missing out on those special moments. As always, love your videos and appreciate your stories!

I really agree with you, but don’t worry, time does the job ;)
It amazes me how much cheaper Europe is than the United States. I just spent 10 days traveling from London to Rome through Paris, Lucerne, Venice, and Florence and I couldn’t get over how reasonable everything was cost wise. We were warned Lucerne and Switzerland in general would give us sticker shock, but what I paid for a delicious Swiss beer is what I’d pay for a bottle of yeungling at the shitty dive bar down the street from where I live. And I live in the poverty stricken part of New York State. 275 euros a plate seems like an absolute steal to me at a Michelin star restaurant in the Eiffel Tower. I’ve spent more than that at a just a normal restaurant in my city and it was only 3 courses. By the way Paris ended up being my favorite city of the entire trip, totally understand why you moved there, until you’ve visited it you really can’t comprehend how beautiful it is.
With a family of 4 boys living all over the US and Finland, we really appreciated the reunion aspect of this video. We’ve followed your parents on their journey to France since we are hopefully doing the same next year. It was also fun to see KJ pop up as we have followed their story as well. Great video!
The love between mother and son at the end there was so palpable and wonderful to experience. Thank you for bringing us along for the ride 💖💖💖
How many other families like this are out there in the world? What you guys have and what you have built relationship-wise is truly incredible. Good on you for doing something like this for the people you love, this money is well spent. Lots of love to you all!
Wow the expression and depth of your dad enjoying the food. ❤
I hope that one day I'll be able to give my mom an experience like this. ❤
Hi Nathaniel 👋, Nothing made my day more than watching you and Sky surprise your parents with a touching reunion in your newest video. Sending you lots of love!!! ❤️❤️❤️🤗
Thanks for insipiring me to build upon my relationship with my parents. This piece almost brought me to tears and will be showing it to them. Beautiful, just so beautiful.
This family is everything I could hope to cultivate in my own. Definitely cried at the initial reunion with brother. Thank you, Drew 🫶🏻
Your father speaks A LOT about food in his videos so I knew he would love it. My husband and I ate at a Michelin star restaurant in Italy for our 30th anniversary and had a similar experience…minus the view. But being there together is what made the video. Much love from Gensac-your neighbor in the SW.
This is so heartwarming! I would also recommend the restaurant “Le train bleu” in Gare de Lyon - wayyy more affordable but still high-end the restaurant is absolutely stunning (like a renaissance museum really) and the food is also insane!
You, your Dad and your family have the best videos on KZread! Always learning, enlightening, sharing, joyful and feel good moments. Thank you!
This whole thing is so wholesome, Nathaniel, I love your family. Very inspiring.
How wonderful. Thank you for sharing with us.
I can totally see why you are such a nice guy, your parents are amazing
This was such a special day, thank you for sharing with us. You truly show how to honor your father and mother with such grace. 😊
This video made me so happy and also made me cry. So beautiful.
One of the finest videos on KZread, with outstanding storytelling, filming, and editing. It was a joy to watch your family reunite and share a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
What a beautiful family you all belong to - so absolute in your love for one another.
This made me so happy. What a beautiful family you guys are.
This video made me happy just watching you and your family ! That's so sweet. And so special that Hedi was there. You offered him an incredible experience 2 years ago and now you were able to live that thanks to him. The power of kindness and generosity
Love it when you all get together. The energy is crazy! Lol
Thanks for sharing this surprise to your family Nathaniel indeed family is the most important thing in life!! Glad to see you all happy enjoying each other!
Truthfully that was beautiful. How blessed you are.
What a beautiful glimpse. Thank you.
What a beautiful family you have! I have the same dynamic with my children and it’s the most wonderful feeling! Being a parent is hard, and we often wonder if we did a good job or not, but when your children do special things like this, it confirms it was all worth it and you did something good. You are all lucky to have each other!
I love your family. You’re all very lucky to have each other.
And the influence has can have on his parents ! This is inspiring!
thank you so much for taking us along on this Amazing evening !!!! your a wonderful Son with a beautiful Family...and, I got this cool new phone too? well done you
Bless your heart. What a beautiful thing to do for your parents, and for your family❤
Oh how wonderful! This was joyful - when you hear people speak passionately about food - this is why! A few years back, hubby and I had this same type of experience at Per Se in NYC - where the love, passion, and respect for food and service was shown by everyone there and I simply could not express my joy and gratefulness enough although I had a similar expression as your parents - eyes shut, gentle smile and a little nod. How wonderful for all of you!
How wonderful and well done. Lovely family . ❤
Thank you for your story telling SO MAGICAL !!
Every time I see this I ball my eyes out. Thank you so much for sharing this!
So satisfying to experience this with your lovely family. Bravo!!
i dont have parents and the moment your brother surprised your parents, i haven't stopped crying and smiling throughout the whole video. Thanks for sharing a bit of your life with us. Your parents are such beautiful humans :-)
This made me teary eyed. Seeing you all together and having such a great time with family is so heartwarming. Being able to bless your parents with such a delicious meal at the Eiffel Tower is so special! It’s so hard being far away from my family and only getting to see them once a year so this video was extra special to watch! You’re so good at creating these masterpieces❤
Well done. What a great memory for the whole family. A few years ago, I did something similar to my mom and took her to London. She only found out at the gate :) She still mentioned this trip regularly. We had such a great time. It was my way of saying thank you to my mom for her support in the last few years ❤
This was beautiful. Brought a tear to my eye
I was smiling the whole time I was watching this. So heartwarming, so much fun. And the fact your mom said it was the best experience in her life… simply amazing.
You are such a wise young man! Thank you especially for this and your previous video. Really made me stop to ponder how I want to live each day for the rest of my life. What a gift you have given us, your viewers. Thank you. 🙏
You are such a great son and brother. Family is the best treasure God had ever given to humanity Be there for each other 😊
What a lovely thought and beautiful thing to gift your parents! We are foodies in my family and I have had the good fortune to have several such meals together but it was never organized as a surprise in this beautiful way❣Well done!!
I love this sooooooo much! An incredible gift and adventure for you all.
What an experience! Thank you for sharing it with us all. Cheers!
I love surprising my parents when I live abroad - so joyous and special! I've now moved back to Australia to reconnect and spend time with them in person after a long virtual relationship. Nothing beats a hug from my mum and an outdoor adventure with dad. Enjoy this time together 🖤
Love watching the joy of your family!!
Man seems like you guys did have so much fun Your parents are really cool and down to earth people
That was truly wonderful to see. What a beautiful family. Love you guys ❤🤩🥰
This joy and appreciation of each other brings tears to my eyes. And you obviously share the same genetics and brain capacity. Also everyone expressed their joy so beautifully
What a wonderful video ✨ Thank you for sharing these beautiful moments with us ✨
I had no idea you had your own channel. I've followed your parents for some time. This is a fantastic for your whole family. Touche!
It was so beautiful to watch you and your family enjoy this experience together… And watching makes it even more evident to me why you are such an amazing person. Your parents are incredible. Your family unit is divine. 🥰
I loved this so much. I watch your father's KZread channel with great pleasure, so clicked on this video immediately. What a beautiful experience you gave your entire family, I love it. It was fun to watch you light up even more as the evening went on and the wine worked its magic. How fun, I truly, truly enjoyed watching you all enjoy yourselves together.
So wholesome 🥲 your mom is so sweet
The end brought tears when your mom said thank you! beautiful :')
Urrghh this was just so wholesome🥹Nurturing family relationships is everything! Your mum always has the biggest smile ☺️
You literally have me teared up, surprising your parents with your brother! The restaurant is impressive, but surprising your parents was the gold for me!
Such a beautiful moment. Good to see you all together again and smiling from ear to ear. Great job on the suprises Nathaniel you crushed it.
I came from a family of five, being the youngest of three children. Last week my older brother passed away. He was preceded in death by my sister, mother and father. So this week has been spent in contemplation, as I pondered being the final survivor of the original nuclear family. Your video touched me with the reminder that the special moments spent with family is the single greatest treasure we can have as we age. Those deep interactions with the people we share a history and a perception of the world with, are priceless. I truly loved this video and being able to watch a special connection you obviously comprehend and cherish with your family. Thank you for sharing it!

indeed, they are truly priceless. Thank you for sharing your story as well, it touched me deeply. Sending you a big, warm hug.
I loved the video. You have an amazing family and family dynamic ❤️
What Joy! It was contagious. Merci Beaucoup.
What a lovely, lovely thing to do for your parents! Truly a once in a lifetime experience!
Really appreciate this video, Nathaniel! I myself realized that when we are younger we are striving to be independent, far from our home - making the future for ourselves, just to prove ourselves worthy to the world. But as we age, we always look to reconnect and get back with our parents, realizing how important the family community is. Been following your work since the days in Mexico! Really happy to see all your progress, great work!
im two minutes in and crying because the joyfulness that exudes from your parents is contagious! What a fun couple of people. they have that spark for life that you obviously inherited. keep sharing.
Such a beautiful experience to share with us. Thank you Daniel ❤
As a parent, how can you not be proud. There is nothing more precious that being able to spend moments like this w/the people you love.
This is so wholesome and precious, every giggle and shared moment of joy made my heart feel so full!
Thank you for sharing this with us too! Your family is one of the best to watch having such an experience!
always crying while watching your videos. as mama said, "thank you for sharing" .
I had an ear to ear grin throughout the whole of that. I’m glad you all had such a memorable and amazing time.
So much joy! So grateful for you to share this! I haven't stopped smiling!
Hilarious how each family member is holding a camera 😂
What a gift, and total delight! All the parts so precious. We, too, live away from family (we have four children and four granddaughters, plus partners) so a bit more of a challenge, but we take every opportunity to be together when we can.
I love this video. The restaurant is great and all, but seeing you guys enjoying being together is so hearthwarming. I wish you guys more moments like this.
You should make more with your parents and brother. They really enjoyed it. It's not just about sharing beautiful content. But making the best memories for you as a family.All the best!
Thanks! What an amazing gift!
Such an amazing experience! Thank you for sharing❤
You were so lucky to have them bro in your current life right now . I feel so happy watching this . I wish i have this kind of loving and cheering family that I always wanted but never had ... Thank you for giving this feeling bro .
Loved the video and seeing your family together!
You are an AMAZING story teller! I tested and felt all the feelings watching your beautiful experience with your family! Thank you for sharing this with the world:)❤

You 4 are just such a delight ❤
