UGLY DELICIOUS

David Chang’s six episode Netflix show, Ugly Delicious sees the celebrated New York chef focus on cultural appropriation in food – examining Pizza and its cultural roots as well as fried chicken in the United States and its racial ramifications – as well as looking at variations of these foods in Chinese and Japanese cuisine and how that has affected his own cooking and the cooking of many of his chef friends. He’s an affable guy – very funny and laid back – so this makes for very easy viewing – it’s also very hunger inducing.
