About This Episode:
In 2007, Andrew Zimmern of the Travel Channel’s Bizarre Foods went to Dai’s House Of Stink in Taiwan, a restaurant selling some of the most intense stinky tofu in all of Taipei. In this episode, a rare occurrence took place. Andrew was defeated by two menu items.
Ten years after watching this episode, from a series that inspired me to move to Asia in the first place, I find myself in the very same restaurant, anxious to find out just how challenging this dish is.
Prior to filming this video, I went into Dai’s House Of Stink to ask for shooting permission. The aroma lingering in the air nearly floored me. This place was no joke. The night before shooting, I could hardly sleep. What if I literally can’t control it and my gag reflex kicks in causing me to embarrass myself and forcing me to retire my name as the best ever food reviewer.
Well that didn’t happen and my title remains. Check out the video to see it all unfold.
Also, big ups to Andrew. This is obvious just some good spirited fun. I think Andrew is the man and he’s been making awesome content for years.
About Sonny Side:
I’m not sponsored. I’m not rich. I’m just some guy who wanted to make the type of travel videos that I would want to see. This show is completely self-funded so thanks for patiently watching that five second advertisement (and read below how you can support this channel).
I am a video director by trade. Each time I travel to a new country I bring a cameraman with me, usually a friend, to shoot as many episodes as possible in a short amount of time (usually a week). The rest of the time I’m working as a video director/videographer in Vietnam and editing the crap out of these videos.
Much love and remember, Don’t Think, Just Chew.

I’m a huge fan of trying different, interesting and strange foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly MY point of view, but is not meant to offend any person or culture.

BESTYS! Please Tweet this video link to Andrew Zimmern! His Twitter name is @andrewzimmern
Maybe if a thousand people Tweet him he'll watch it. Hopefully he'll have a sense of humor about it. :p
Thanks Andrew for all the great content and travel/food inspiration. Cheers mate.
Great introduction.
Sonny u r a nice gentleman , I like u , but u don’t compare with zimmer, he is way a head of u. Be respectful don’t challenge him , food tasting and exploring is different from eating competition remember it
As a westerner I acquired a taste for fermented tofu much to the amusement of my fellow Chinese architecture students. This was back in the 70's when there was much less exposure to Asian foods, particularly in Texas LOL.
I like how you respect their culture.
Compared to Andrew.
(Cough* cough* his comments about Asian people’s food 5months ago.)
Fuck andrew.
5:31 she has a Korean soul
I went there today and tried their signature deep fried tofu. It was good!
You are way better than Zimmerman in my opion. No offense to him but you provide more depth. You bring out the artistic aspects of the foods.
Sonny, I sent you a picture a couple of months ago about Cho Dofu (stinky tofu). Go Danshuii (Tamshui) and on old street they sell BBQ Cho Dofu. I love it and in february went to Taiwan and went to that place to chow on those. I love them! I regret I only ate two that day but a doggie bag back to Thailand was out of the question. They smell good to me. Maybe olfactory problems.
awesome…better then Andrew!
Yesss! I’m not the only person who sniffs a ripped off toe nail ???
Oh my god I am crying of laughter when you describe the smell of the fried stinky tofu I died hahahahahahahaha I know EXACTLY what you mean lmfao dude you probably could not have described it better.

Takes a bite and goes “I win”
SONNY: "I'm not going to lie, it does taste a little like farts, but like in the best way possible" … ? ? ? ?
"There's something shockingly satisfying about it. I can't quite put my finger on it. I LIKE IT! "
"You know what it's like? It's like when you rip off a toenail" …..?

Sunny: it smells like decaying trash
