DavidsBeenHere is led by David, a US-based solo host who has been posting food-first travel videos since July 25, 2008. The channel has grown to about 1.44 million subscribers and more than 416 million views across over 4,100 videos. David says he has eaten through 100-plus countries and focuses on street food, markets, family-run restaurants and the people behind the plates. The channel produces long-form food documentaries and immersive city food tours, with frequent uploads averaging roughly 13 videos per month and trips spanning the Caribbean, Europe, Africa and Asia.
Hungry for long, story-rich food travel? We find DavidsBeenHere is a reliable passport to markets, street stalls and regional specialties, served with enthusiastic on-camera tasting and cultural context. The videos often play like full-length food documentaries - notably the popular 100 Hours in Tokyo episode - so you get deep, unhurried coverage rather than quick listicles. David’s pace and steady upload rhythm mean there is always a new city or island to dive into, and his on-screen curiosity makes unfamiliar dishes feel inviting and understandable.
