Street Food: Asia

I have not seen too many food shows. Saw this featured on Netflix and decided to give it a go and just finished the Delhi episode. It has a very nice format that runs smoothly first exploring the history of the food featured and focuses on the life story of a street vendor although it does show others as well. The style works quite well as are the animations and soundtrack. Other shows can be irkingly sensationalist in their presentation with the host hogging the attention instead of the subject material. One thinks of the typical Western foreigner just going around. But the focus on just one individual and his struggles to be able to cater to common people just going about their day was a refreshing take. Very inspirational and down-to-earth. Looking forward to finishing this. Shows that food is not just about eating. It's about people.

Most of these episodes have me in tears! So moving and sensational . So far I have watched the India episode and god that guy inspired me.

Most of story are base on their own real experience. When I watch those video . It seems I travel in that country . See what's that place looks like ? Know more about different cultures.

This show is more than the title suggests. It's about culture and the food that comes out of it. It's really nice to see a show that has no agenda, just shows a few chefs/cooks in their element. I highly recommend this. I'm hungry for some Pho now!!!!!!

I've watched 3 episodes so far and I plan on finishing the series. So far it's an awesome food series across Asia with personal stories of each of the vendors. I love the way the series connects the viewers with how they each started their business and the hardships they each suffered before making it their business successful. This separates this series apart from the many other foodie shows on Netflix. If you are interested in just the food, then Street Food may not be for you. I am already excited for volume 2!
