Launched just a month ago, Food I Can’t Read has already racked up over 3 million views across social media, quickly becoming a fan favourite for foodies, culture buffs, and curious wanderers alike.

The show’s concept is simple, fun, and refreshingly original: Faz explores international food markets usually around London, picking out interesting snacks and dishes with labels in languages he doesn’t understand, and taste-tests them on camera.

 

Food as a Cultural Bridge

From Cairo to London, Faz brings a uniquely Egyptian charm to every episode. His playful energy and cultural curiosity make every video feel like you’re tagging along with a friend who’s just as excited to explore the world as you are. Whether it’s Korean fish cakes, Turkish delights, or Thai desserts, Faz dives in with genuine enthusiasm and a warm, inclusive spirit. Each dish is a mini-adventure, and Faz’s unfiltered reactions make it all the more entertaining.

What sets Food I Can’t Read apart is its underlying message, “food as a universal language”. Even when he doesn’t know what he’s about to eat, Faz leans in with open-mindedness and humour, proving that curiosity and community can cross any language barrier.
