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. #streetfood #beststreetfood #food #chasingaplate***********************************************************************
