Okay, today's first plan of attack is to visit one of the most iconic and unhygienic street food vendors in the world. Yes, unhygienic. He's very famous for that particular reason. Let's go. Today I am visiting one of the most famous street food vendors in the world, and he's not famous for all the right reasons. Let's go and check him out. Look at the queue. This is insane. Look at the queue on this line and the huge crowd. There he is, one of the most famous street food vendors in the world. Is this the queue? Yes. Okay. Perfect. This is mad.

He said it's clean. Spicy. Sorry? The taste is authentic and spicy. Okay. But if you would like that it would be really clean, then you can see there. Oh, I see. It's clean now, but before it was dirty? No, no, no. No? It's not like that. Never dirty? No. Normal. Yeah. But I see videos online, it's dirty. I think that you should really experience it.

I think he is the most famous street food vendor in the world. Yeah? Yeah, in the world. Yeah. Indian? You're creating this hype for Instagram or YouTube? Yeah, it's YouTube. I mean, the hype is there. Oh. You've seen the videos of him online, right? Yeah, I've got to talk to him. I have to wait the queue. Yeah, I'm looking forward to trying it. So... Is it spicy?

Yeah, nice to meet you. Thank you, sir. Wow. Look at this. Thank you, sir. Okay, here it is. The famous club kachori. You see the crowd. It's absolutely insane. This is easily, by far, one of the most unhygienic street foods in the world. But I heard it's tasty. You've heard from the people. I've also heard it's spicy. Yeah, let's go ahead and give it a taste. Look at this. Wow. Excuse me, bro. So, what is the best way to eat this? I mix it together? You keep this in your hand. Uh-huh. Do it like this. Uh-huh. Like this? Okay. Pick this up with this. Okay. Oh, wow. And keep it in your mouth. Okay, wait, wait, wait. Yeah, it's too much, huh? Too much, yeah. Too much. This okay? Okay. Now take a bite. Yeah? Okay. Cheers. Let's go. Wow. It's amazing. Really good. It's good. Yeah. It is spicy, but there's loads of potatoes in there also to go with the spices. It's very fresh. It's hot. It's warm. It's actually really good. Surprisingly, it's good. It comes with this leaf. I don't know how old the leaf is, but still, it has really spicy, has a really potent tang to it, but it's actually good. It's amazing. It's really good. I've had it for the first time today. Yeah? Do you like it? Yeah, let's go for another bite just with a spoonful. A lot of you guys will think I'm crazy for eating something like this. I want to know in the comments, would you guys eat this? Honestly, would you come to India just to try this street food? It's not sanitary at all, but when in India, you've got to try some of the best food in the world. Now, I know a lot of you guys would give me hate for this video, but to be honest, as a street food reviewer, someone who makes street food videos, I had to come here. There's no BS around that. If I didn't come here, then how could you call me a street food guy? Try this. It's sweet. It's a sweet. Jalabi. Right? Let's go. Oh my God. Very sweet. See? The quality of the food is good. Yeah. If you say this is not sanitary, then another thing, but the quality of the food is good. Yeah, the quality is good. That's good. Yeah. You won't get hurt in your stomach or anything like that. Really? Yeah. Okay. The quality is good. You can guarantee that. So, I will not get sick? No. Okay. That's great. But if you do overeating, then... Of course. Obviously. So, you heard the man. You said he probably won't get sick, but the food is good, so that's good to hear. As long as I don't get sick, then all right. He said the sanitary conditions are bad, obviously, but that's what we're doing. We're in India. Yeah. There's going to be things like this. I'll go ahead and put some videos of his on the screen so you understand what I'm talking about when it comes to hygiene. Okay. Let's have a couple more bites of this kachori. Here's the potato. It is good. I'm sorry to say it. It is good. You're leaving? Okay. Nice to meet you. What was your name again? Lucas. Nice to meet you, brother. Here's the trash. Now, I just need to wash my hands.

I don't have. No. Oh, for me? No. I don't have. I think he wants to exchange the currency, but I don't have, I'm sorry. No, just rupee. I only have rupee. I don't have any dollars on me. Okay. Thank you, sir. Alrighty, there you guys have it. The most unsanitary street food vendor in the world. My ranking, honestly, I really enjoyed the food. The sanitary conditions were non-existent, but the food was good. I'm gonna rank the food. No BS, no sugar coating. I know I always say that, but seriously, that was an eight out of 10. I really liked it. Cheers. All right, nice to meet you. The crowd around this man is insane. He's definitely a local legend here in India. Man, look at this crowd. Sorry? Are you Jew? Am I Jew? No, I'm not Jew. No. Why? No, because actually we follow somebody who also travels in these local areas and explores. Am I what? No, it's H-U-G-H, Hugh Abroad. Oh, Hugh Abroad, no, no. He's my friend, though. He's my friend. All right, we follow him, actually. Yeah, I was talking to him this morning, actually. Yeah, he's my friend. So we were like thinking, okay, are you him? No, I'm not him. I'm gonna tell him about this situation. Yeah. Do you like Hugh? He's a good guy, huh? Very good guy. I've known him for almost two years now. Oh, nice to meet you. Okay, nice to meet you. Do you like the club kachori? Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Are you from Kolkata? Yes, but we are moving out of Kolkata, so we thought this would be our last visiting visit here. Yeah, so you've visited him many times, the famous kachori man? So this will be our second time here. Second time. So then we figured out that he has a cousin who has a shop that I head. Yeah. Really, the same style? Yes, yes, yes. Okay. You can go just head next door. Right here or on the? No, right here. Oh, wow, okay. End of the road. Okay, I'll check it out. What was your good name? Shatha. Shatha, nice to meet you. So what is your ranking of the food from last time? So it is, I mean, I would say eight out of 10. Eight out of 10? It's more about the hype. Yeah, the hype. Than anything else, yeah. But it's, would you consider it not hygienic or not clean? Or it's clean now? Yeah. At least you're honest, we like to be honest, you know what I mean? Yeah, it is definitely not hygienic, I mean. Yeah, win in India. Okay, well, it was lovely to meet you. Same here, same here. I'm sorry, what's your name? Ty. Ty, okay, and what's your Instagram? Native Ty, T-Y. Oh, okay, all right, we will follow you there.

We thought it was him, he was you. They thought I was you. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know, I know, we got it all sorted now. Okay, nice to meet you, have a great day. You too. Someone dropped rupees, I think that's his right there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, this one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You dropped your money, from your money. Oh, maybe not, maybe not, okay. This one also famous, yeah? So apparently the famous Kachori man has a cousin or a brother. His shop is literally right here, so we're gonna go try this one out as well. Wow, this is a shower in India. They got some soap. Man over here brushing his teeth. Wow, this is how you shower in India. Wow, almost got hit by that car. Obviously this is very sad, people shower like this. What is this man making over here? What is this one, masala? Chai? Oh, chai. No, it's okay, it's okay, please, thank you. And then big man over here is gonna. I can't explain the smells because I've never smelled something like this. That's me just being honest, it's very unfortunate. Try and cross the road safely, okay. Oh, street shave, street shave on the street. Wow, very nice, very nice. I should get a street shave in India. Let me know if I should do that in the comments below. Oh, wow, what is this man selling? Hi, what is this one, what is this? Five? Okay. 50, 50 rupees. Sugar cane, 50 rupees. Okay, one, ek piece. Ek piece. Oh, 50 rupees for a sugar cane here. That's gonna be the most expensive sugar cane in the world. Wow, look at that, oh, that's a big piece. Can I have a glass? What? 30. 30, okay, honest man, honest man. This one, yeah, thank you. 30. Look at this. It's going for this cilantro. Bodina. Oh, bodina. Okay. Wow, very nice. Unfortunately, I don't wanna use the clay pot, but he has some incense right here. Masala. Masala, little bit, little bit, little, little bit, little bit. Little, little, little bit, yeah. Okay, okay. Lemon. Okay, some lemon, lime. Hi, boss. Thank you. Okay, here we are with the clay pot of sugar cane. He put some lime, some masala, some cilantro. I've never had sugar cane that style, but let's go ahead and give it a try. Okay, there's nothing like a sugar cane juice on a very hot day in India. I know I've said that before, but it's scorching hot outside. This hits the pot. I don't know about the clay pot, though. That is the only sus thing in this video. It's nice, it's fresh, it's very refreshing. Sugar cane is quite good around the world. I've had sugar cane in Thailand, Sri Lanka, India previously, Indonesia, Malaysia, you name it. That is delicious. Look at that. I'm gonna rank the sugar cane juice here in Kolkata a seven out of 10. It's good. Yeah? Okay. Thank you, boss. Nice to meet you. Oh, wow. What is this one? Yes, egg piece. Egg piece. Egg piece, one piece. One piece, please, yes. Yes. This is called kachori. Kachori. Okay. Mini kachori. Okay, okay. Egg piece. Yes. How much? You take it. Take it? Oh my God, you're so nice. Thank you. This is for you, for your gift. Thank you, sir. What's your good name? My name is Prem Kumar Sangani. Okay, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Wow. Look at this. This is the kachori right here? This kachori and sabji. Sabji. Okay. Curd. Curd? A little bit, yeah. Yeah, okay. Okay. Oh, wow. That looks amazing. Thank you. Yeah, very amazing. Thank you, sir. I'll try it out. Thank you. Very nice, man. Your hospitality is amazing. Thank you. Look at that. Wow. Very good. Oh, look at that ice. Look at that ice. Okay, here we have another kachori. The nice man gave it to me for free. I would have loved to have paid him just because he was so nice. Obviously, the sanitary conditions were not there. I think that is gonna be a continuous theme here in Kolkata, especially. But let's go ahead and give it a taste. I think I like this version more. There is more spices and there is more sweetness with the curd in it. The curd does make it more sweet than the previous one. This is actually pretty good. I think this one might be better than the first one. We have a fight over here on my right side. I think that is quite typical in India also. It's my third day here and I've seen three fights. There is some potato. It's very crunchy. I do like the tang to it. I'm ranking this kachori an 8.5 out of 10. Here's the fight I was talking about. Having some type of disagreement. Now I just need to wash my hands. You have tissue. Tissue. Thank you, thank you, sir. Thank you. Sir, thank you so much. Thank you. Indian hospitality on point today. Good, huh? Good. These boys are having a disagreement over here. Ooh, what is this man selling? Hello, sir. Can I have one pomegranate juice? Juice, juice. Juice, yeah, juice. Juice, egg. Yeah. One, one, yeah. One piece. Hello. Can I have a pomegranate? Yes, yes, please. Thank you. You have plastic? Plastic cup? Plastic. No ice. US. America. America, yeah, yeah, yeah. You, Kolkata. Yeah. Okay. I don't have change. Don't worry about it. Please, don't worry about it. Thank you. Bye-bye. This is pomegranate juice. Okay, thank you. Fresh pomegranate juice. I haven't had pomegranate juice since Malaysia. This was 100 rupees for this juice. I saw the man washing his hands with the juice at the same time. I don't know how the hell I'm gonna drink this without thinking about it in my head, but let's go. Oh, that is lovely. That has a beautiful crisp tang to it from the pulp inside the pomegranate. Oh, that is lovely. Now it's a little bit sour. This is absolutely amazing. 100 rupees, $1, great price. I know pomegranates are a little bit more expensive here in India, so this is a great price. Healthy, tastes good. It is room temperature, so I wish it was ice, but obviously in India, you can't have the ice. I'm gonna rank this pomegranate juice a 10 out of 10. Now all I need to complete the Indian street food tour is to get some chai. Oh, wow, what is this man selling? You have chai? One chai, one chai, please. Here we are. Okay, I'll come back. I'll come back. I'll eat, I'll drink, yeah. I'll come back for my change. Okay, here we are with the famous Indian chai. It is pretty damn hot. It came in a ceramic cup. Let's go. Oh my God, masala chai here in India. This is ******* amazing. It has a beautiful taste. Now I'm not a coffee guy, I'm not a caffeine guy. I love the taste, but I just don't like the effect. The last time I had coffee, I was in Vietnam and I thought my heart was gonna jump out of my chest. I had anxiety for eight hours. That's why I don't drink coffee anymore. I'm a Vietnamese experience in Saigon. This chai is amazing. If I was a caffeine guy and I love tea, I would have so many more of these throughout my time in India. Oh, the bird, yeah. Bird. Okay. Oh, home, okay. We had a crowd around us. I think they're saying there's birds above me. Okay. Hi. I like your hair. You have nice hair. Nice to meet you. Let's go ahead and finish this chai. That is amazing. I love it. Great price. Let's see if the man gives me my change back. So you wanna get some from us? Anything you wanna know about the place? Sorry?
