I have to agree with a lot of comments about Kavita. While I find her interactions with others natural and un-improvised, she really doesn't do much in terms of explaining locations, flavors, experiences, in a way that a host of this type of show should. I find myself moving back and forth in the video to catch more information about a location or about something from a shop sign or a street post. I also find myself having to google basic questions about the things she talks about, which despite being the focus and center of the episode, she invests very little effort explaining what they are, how to find them, etc. Overall such a shame to have a full series in Berlin that leaves a lot to be desired because the host is really busy eating and drinking for her own fun without sharing the experience with her audience who came here to learn about places to go, and things to eat and drink in Berlin

Lots of racism, fat-shaming in the comments re the host. Must be so easy to hide behind anonymity on YouTube. I'm personally impressed that Munchies went with a person of color for a city that's historically mired by racism/anti-semitism. If anything, it forces the people she highlights to behave themselves because Germany is notorious for not being friendly. She can speak fluent German, too. I think the reason why she speaks English is so that we don't have to constantly read the subtitles, since Munchies is primarily and English-language show, frankly. And she knows her shit. I doubt any of you haters could smell elderberry in a drink. Assholes, all of you.

Totally in love with Berlin, makes me want to go there even more. The host however, seems, stiff? I dunno. She doesn't seem to be very open, nor does she appear to get all the possible information about topics from the people she meets. --The tour of the spirit factory, very little actually learnt about such an interesting topic, which was a bit disappointing, I mean, what's the point of her visit if not to learn more? Did she just go to get drunk? --Sorry to make the comparison, but Charlotte from the Wales series was a much better host, sorry.

Berlin is such a ugly and poor-looking place. Im german and I went several times to this city and I just dont get it, why everybody is so obsessed with it and saying -Berlin is so cool and beautiful. - No, its not. People take themselves so seriously and they want to be sooo individual. It's ridiculous.

You haters can say all you want about Kavita, but I think she's fun and I can't stop watching the -MUNCHIES Guide to Berlin- series because of that. Either way, she's waaaaaay better than any of the Vice hosts all put together herp derping.

I -love- that the one cocktail bar uses a lot of candles for lighting. Absolutely relaxing. Great to see how Berlin's not so uptight about alcohol. (Even though I rarely drink) Great episode Kavita.

The only people I've ever seen drinking out of brown paper bags in England are eastern Europeans. It's not illegal to drink on the street in England and I don't know why they do it.

BTW. that green stuff isn't a berlinerweize. it's a sort of a shandy (you englanders call it that i think) made with berlinerweize. --Big difference if you're speaking in craft beer terms.

You people are all assholes. She's a fine host. My biggest complaint was she was leaning over to one side too much when talking to the first brewer. Otherwise she's fine.

disappointing to see a host have to speak english to a guest just for the guest to speak in german. I'm sure she didn't get a 100% of what the first beer guy had to say.
