Trois repas autour du monde

I only actually watched the first ten minutes of David Chang, hosted by Seth Rogan, in Vancouver. That was enough. Why would I want to watch two grown men getting stoned out of the heads while stuffing themselves with Rogan's favourite hometown munchies? Also in this episode, we are treated to Seth Rogan sharing some of his expert joint-rolling methods. What a waste of a potentially good series! Lame!

I love David Chang, and really enjoyed "Ugly Delicious". But this new four-part series is kind of a let-down. I get that he wants to be the next Anthony Bourdain, but that indefinable thing that made Bourdain so unique and compelling is what Chang is missing. These four celebrities (Seth Rogen, Chrissy Teigen, Lena Waithe, Kate McKinnon) he hangs with all are fine and perfectly unobjectionable, fun even, but they also weren't super interesting and the episodes didn't really have much impact. Bourdain was such a devastating loss because he possessed both a gravitas and a sense of adventure that inspired you to want to try new things. This short series, a pale imitation of "Parts Unknown", ends up just a mediocrely produced vanity project for the Momofuku doyen.

Oh my god. Really. Seriously. Only Netflix can broadcast such junk. Nothing inside. Nothing. There is no way to describe the empytiness. Its not a show about food, its not about (interesting) celebs, its not culture. Skip it, or jump into a burning fire while you are all lubricated with oil. Trust me, It will be less painful and will end sooner.

The title says it all. Chang should be ashamed at how lazy and self-indulgent he's allowed himself to become.

What a disappointment. This show amounts to not much more than celebrity self-indulgence. It is a boring series of un-reflective hang-out sessions in which people secondarily eat food.
