Ugly Delicious

I am blown away by Ugly Delicious. I've finished season 1 and can't wait for a season 2.

Each show focuses on a single food item or topic and David Chang travels America and the world exploring it, discussing its history, it's rise and development.

For example, the episode on fried chicken wasn't content to just show David Chang eating some fried chicken but he dives into the history of it, teaches us why it's a racial food and why some people won't be seen in public ordering it. I had no idea. I just thought it was delicious. The episode on Chinese food, discusses why Chinese American food is completely different than the food in China and how western tastes are coming to change over time.

This is a far cry from a typical food show that just glorifies a few chefs or is endless shots of food porn. Give it a watch!

I enjoyed David Chang's new show. It was highly original and entertaining. Sometimes in shoes like this there is a certain point where I get bored. I think he knows that and pokes fun at food shows where they get too over the top on describing food.

This series is called Ugly Delicious because it challenges conventional norms about what is good food. I highly recommend this series and the arguments that David is bringing to the forefront of conversations in North America.

I am an amateur home cook with a strong fetish for cooking shows and shows about food and in my opinion this show is one of the best I have ever seen. I love how it explores dishes and topics from a vast array of perspectives, I love how honest it is and I admire how open David change is. I always believed food is one of the most powerful things on earth and this show is both a prof and an explanation to that. Cant wait for Se 2!

Liked the first couple episodes but by episode four the host started sounding like a condescending pr%#k.

Enjoyed the show and the commentary, but David Chang is so opinionated as a person- just don't like his personality- that it takes away from the show.
