usindiamonitor has been a fan of Sonny Side’s culinary content for years, gladly following along as this more-adventurous-than-most American Midwesterner travels the world eating interesting foods while gently poking fun at the food, himself, and others. I am headed to Vietnam soon, and can’t wait to try some of the Vietnamese delights profiled on his YouTube channel Best Ever Food Review Show. However, I was intrigued when his team opened up a new YouTube channel recently focused exclusively on India: Best Ever Food India. 

Now this is what modern food diplomacy should look like, and Sonny is proving to be among the worthy heirs to the legendary and groundbreaking Anthony Bourdain legacy, made all the more special because Bourdain left the land of the living far too soon.

I have been all over India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka and tasted all kinds of delicacies in homes, at roadside stalls, and in restaurants throughout the magical and mysteries cities and towns of the Subcontinent. There are also thousands of YouTube channels dedicated to the food of this region. Is there enough room for another one? I would say yes. The bestest part of every episode of Best Ever Food India is that consistently and without fail viewers, even those deeply versed in Indian food like me, will discover something new they have never seen or tasted before. The people working for the Best Ever brand with Sonny at the helm have an uncanny knack for that, and credit above all to Sonny for displaying the creativity and adventurous spirit that is far too lacking among a vast majority of Americans. So go ahead and check out the channel today.
