We’re Thomas and Sheena, food and travel fiends. We travel full time, hunting for the BEST local food in the world to showcase via our YouTube videos. Food is a window into a country’s culture and one of the most exciting ways to get to know a place.
We’re all about eating what and where the locals eat. You won’t find food that’s been created merely to be social media worthy on here- no rainbow bagels, gold leaf soft serves- just honest food that tastes incredible.
From street food to mom and pop restaurants, we want to show you the best food we find on our travels.

Starting off my Sunday with you guys, awesome content as always, loved the Onigiri. also loving the new zealand series, never knew fellow kiwis had such good food.

So happy to see you guys are back in Japan! I'm wondering for future videos if you guys could include Google Maps links? Just makes it super helpful for those of us who are researching for our own trips. Appreciate you adding the names and addresses of course! Enjoy the rest of your trip!
I'm 1/4 through and I'm calling it early, every place is going going to be wonderful. Can I please recommend that us viewers can see at least a little negativity, somewhere. I don't wish to temper your enthusiam arrgh.
