Come on Veeky Forums, apologize to David Chang for having such bland tastes and admit that good food only comes from Asia.
But seriously, who's seen Ugly Delicious and what did you think? Was he being unfair, edgy for the sake of ratings, or did he only make good points?

>admit that good food only comes from Asia
You don't know who David Chang is, do you?
Nolan Fisher
nah, fuck that yellow nigger to death with a baseball bat.
Leo Richardson
Perhaps it would be more accurate to say "good food only comes from Asia and Asian-immigrant communities." I mean he spent the whole crawfish episode complaining that people still make cajun-style crawfish instead of viet-cajun crawfish, and every other episode revolved around his butthurt that white boomers don't like Asian food enough.
Cooper Mitchell
are we watching the same show what did Dave do to you
Charles Lopez
This spoon face is still relevant how?
Michael Cooper
He's just another anti-white racist with double standards about cultural appropriation.

>Another episode of the Obese Gook Who's Insecure About His BMI And Tiny Penis Show is on!
William Campbell
The show lacks a focus, there is no cohesive idea behind it, it's never clear what he is setting out to do, not for the whole series, not for each episode. It's just a platform for him to blather on about his craft, and he doesn't have anything interesting to say about it so the show is boring, sometimes contradictory, and more often than not pretentious.
Take the China episode: he bitches and moans about how white people don't want to eat real chinese food. Then his asian ass goes to China and seeks the advice of a WHITE expert on chinese food and gets grossed out by authentic chinese food. The irony of this situation is not addressed. I think Chang has an axe to grind which he reiterates a few times in the series about being teased as a child for not eating white people food because his parents were immigrants. So he spent that whole episode shitting on America's idea of chinese food instead of showing what "real chinese food" actually is. A big segment on MSG, a piece about how the Chinese don't eat cats and dogs, a bit about how the poor Sichuan man has to cook general tso chicken in order to make money here
Know your audience Chang-kun, people watching food documentaries know american chinese food isn't the real deal already

I watched the pizza and Thanksgiving episodes so far. Enjoyed both. Will watch the rest of the series. I'm someone who enjoyed reading Lucky Peach, so it's hardly a surprise I like it. >The show lacks a focus, there is no cohesive idea behind it I'll have to watch more I guess. The focus seemed pretty clear on the two episodes I've seen so far: successful contrarian chef hits the point in his career where he's tired of making pretty plates that look great on instagram. He's aware he can only rebel so hard against that in his restaurants, so this show is how he scratches that itch.
Grayson Walker
He barely talks about the food and instead chooses toguess out loud who wouldn't like what he ate. He's low-key snarky and basically every word out of his mouth is some weird sideways banter about people who aren't there 'yeah in New York they would never call this a pizza', 'oh see white people cant handle this, this isn't white people food', etc Why doesn't he just get excited and talk about the food? It's a show about fusion cuisine but all he does is nitpick about what he assumes people who aren't there would think, a world class Chinese chef will make him his signature dish, and after his first bite David Chang decides to talk about white people. It honestly feels rude to the chefs.
Henry Anderson
its very honest, dave warts and all I don't think OP watched this very closely, if at all.
Nolan King
We'll yeah that's the thing, the show's just about him traveling for dinner and saying whatever indulgent egotistical thing on his mind. It's easy to follow the episode once you realize that, but I turned it on expecting it to show off fusion cuisine and explain it, but the dude just eats and pops off little Veeky Forums posts. And why is it called Ugly Delicious? What does that mean? All the chefs foods look delicious, what's the deal with that name?
Jack White
Have you realized how people with fair skin have shitty food? For example, light skinned Asians like Japanese and Korean have shitty food while dark skinned Indians have good food, same in Europe, darker skin caucasians have better food than pasty nords.
Anthony Roberts
I patiently watched the first 4 episodes, hoping Chang would stop being a little douchesucking baby, but he just couldn't get out of his own way, which made the show unpleasant so I quit watching. There's better cooking/food shows.
Gavin Taylor
The way that he treated that Domino's delivery driver lost him a fan. The guy was just doing his job.
Zachary Parker
Trips for truth, that delivery guy didn't deserve that kind of douchebaggery.
Jose Wilson
i turned that show off during the fried chicken episode where he tells the white dude that he's stealing black culture for making fried chicken. niggers did not invent fried chicken. the taco episode was pretty bad too with the SJW bullshit. mildly entertaining minus the politics though
Nathan Ward
It's sort of like how blind people can hear really well. And deaf people can see like an eagle. So the closer you are to being genetically superior, the worse you cook.
Grayson Ward
Just happens that that those fairer skinned people happen to be smarter, better looking and more productive, too. I think they can live with having "shittier" food.
Cooper Jackson
pretty much everything i make at home is indian, east asian, or mexican... except when lazy or drunk i sometimes cook british pub food... white cuisine sucks and that includes french and italian
Jacob Carter
Even the taco episode?
Camden Cruz
What was he doing? Don't want to go through all the eps to find this scene and I cant find it on google
Jacob Thomas
Never seen the show but I am curious, does he bring up Chinese cuisine in America's history? About their changes and adaptations that brought the Chinese food to become the American comfort food it is today?
Kayden Long
Paraphrasing: "I have a lot of experience with pizza now and this garbage. I can't do another delivery with you bc you are damaging the human race. I am done."
Meanwhile, this guy who probably wasn't paid to go on his show, who was positive and motivated, was cut to look stupid.
Ryan Ross
>spent a whole episode bitching about cajun/creole style crawfish I refuse to believe someone would make this and think it's a good idea.
Charles Sanchez
Yeah, he does get into that. It's basically accurate, but he chooses to frame it in a way that sort of demonizes white people for not liking authentic Chinese food right off the bat as though that's simply part and parcel with the other, more serious racism that's a real part of the story. He then goes to China and refuses to eat dishes that aren't even that strange (donkey meat, tendons) because he's a big baby. Surprise, David, palates are developed over time and shaped by cultural norms and you're not an exception!
Leo Cook
It's not so much that he says cajun/creole crawfish is bad per se, but that he clearly prefers viet-style and seems to think it's a grave problem that not everybody agrees with him.
Landon Cooper
It's bad though. Just watch the pizza episode.
Charles Perez
Why is African food such shit?
Gabriel Johnson
That’s not anywhere near what happened or what he said
Ian Howard
literally ordered dominos to a Brooklyn pizzeria and said I love Dominos. Fake news, what did Dave do to you?
Oliver Martin
That runs contrary to my white male chauvinist patriarchal sensibilities.
Carter Sullivan
OP is a shit sandwich.
Nicholas Reed
You didn't see where he delivered pizza with the driver?
Brody Parker
ya that was pretty funny too, he wasn't mean to the guy but was definitely like ya, no more pull it, like my homies are in Naples eating pizza on a mountain and I'm delivering pizza in jersey bro no more
Dominic Hall
Which stuck me as being a total dick. Which was confirmed by other opinions in this thread.
Blake Taylor
ya but this board is full of fucking retards
Ryan Ortiz
You must work for his production company.
Logan James
ya I'm an og shill son how does this website work haha upvote me
Dominic Jones
Get out, Chang.
Nathan Miller
So I just watched the scene with Chang to see what you guys were talking about, and it was literally nothing. He was nice to the driver, and after a few deliveries he said verbatim "That's it, I'm not doing another delivery"
That's like a 2/10 on my jerk radar, he didnt even call out the delivery guy when he was saying that he could make better pizza than all Italy.
BUT what you didn't see is the customer getting all pissy about being filmed. It was literally him just responding to a woman telling him to fuck off, had nothing to do with the driver, who he was nice to.
Jack Sanchez
He was literally arguing that tacos are a Korean invention
Landon Nelson
I now have a wealth of pizza knowledge.
Noah Sullivan
...
Jaxson Hill
He does tho. He might be a autistic manbaby but he's a good chef and a great marketer. His shtick doesn't do it for me personally but it's a good hustle and he does know what he's talking about
Jayden Jackson
I don't even care anymore but it is funny how the opinions that I view as accurate come in the beginning of these threads.
Ryan Garcia
>STOP liking white people food. nah, slav cuisine is great, fuck right off
Brody Smith
wtf I hate white people now
Evan King
Sure that's a sound theory you got there
Xavier Carter
He lifts the name ugly delicious from the home cooking episode to describe that type of food, it doesnt look pretty but it is tasty. Or maybe it was later in that episode where he makes a sichuan/thai/korean fusion dish that doesn't make sense but sounded good to me
John Ortiz
I thought he was pushing the food-culture-is-a-metaphor-for-race-relations part a bit too hard.
But I think he did make some good points about being open to other cultures, etc. Just laying it on a little thick.
Really good quality food shots though. Chang and most of his guests seemed pretty knowledgeable about food. I didn't understand some of his guest choices, like that asian comedienne from the last episode--what was her purpose?
I would watch a 2nd season if they made one. I enjoy watching food videos while I eat, so the more the merrier.
Ryan Parker
enough. I did like the bit where the lady points out that if you think about the idiom "as american as apple pie" and then about how often you eat Chinese food compared to apple pie...
Ryan Ross
"""no"""
Michael Foster
If there was one thing I could change I would add more food shots and remove some of the people talking about politics/race relations surrounding said food. You don't have to eliminate it but jesus m8 lets have some more closeups of that brisket
Jaxson Cook
Yup, foodporn shots are the meat and potatoes of any food-related videos, not something you sprinkle in. They need to look to the successful youtube channels for a better ratio of food to face
Isaac Ortiz
>the show's just about him traveling for dinner and saying whatever indulgent egotistical thing on his mind. To be fair a restaurant empire has been built on what pops out of that mind. His food is opinionated, so it's interesting to see the opinions that shape it. Especially when those opinions are so different from what you'd expect from a famous chef. You will never see Gordon Ramsey eating a Domino's pizza with bacon and Alfredo sauce on it. You may not like or agree with his opinions, but Chang has used them to fuel a very interesting and successful career. I like the little window into how the guy's mind works.
John Rivera
Is it me or are the second generation immigrants the most buttblasted about MUH CULTURE?
The first gens I know think Americanized Chinese is a neat novelty and are generally suspicious of hole in the wall joints they're not familiar with.
Xavier Allen
No wonder I hate most of America. Garbage people that aren't worth the dribbled piss of my knob. You explain why the world sucks.
Cameron Jones
You're the shitty underclass that subsists in America. You're the garbage class. Stop trying to have opinions on meaningful things.
Jeremiah Baker
Asian food is either overly salty, overly spicy, or sickly sweet / sour. It's almost like Asians have poor taste receptors, and don't understand the subtlety/delicacy of good food.
Joshua Harris
David "Momofuku DC underperformed and I had a nervous breakdown, announced I was quitting everything and then said I was only going to make fast food fried chicken at Fuku because that's eaiser than maintaining consistency and quality across locations" Chang
Jose Jones
The best foods are white people food. I mean Asian is great, especially Indian, Pakistani and Malaysian but you can't knock French, Italian, Spanish, German, Hungarian, Russian, Greek, and American etc; off the top. And what about Mexican, half of them are white and nobody on earth dislikes Mexican food.
Carter Ramirez
I hate his outlook on cuisine/food and how he politicizes things. FYI I am not fully white and a lot of my diet is Arabic/Persian (which I think are some of the best cuisines) but food is just that, food. Saying "________ group of people should not be allowed to cook______ cuisine because insert arbitrary biased political reason" is just reflecting your own insecurities. I recall Chang talking about how when he see's white guy cooking kimchi/Korean food it pisses him off because of a bullied childhood or some shit and all I can think to myself is wow what a pathetic cuck. Fuck this guy.
Leo Gutierrez
The New Orleans episode was extremely uncomfortable. The way he kept trying to break down the cooks for not cooking viet-cajun was particularly creepy. Maybe he was drunk?
Nathaniel Gray
the only butthurt I'm seeing here is from you
Angel Anderson
he was literally drawing parallels between his food experiences in life and other cultures foods
Liam Williams
You are now aware of why modern leftists seem to have so much vitriol and disdain for their own people/nation. They were bullied or at least outcasts and never got over it.
Kevin Mitchell
>leftists have disdain for their own people/nation >the GOP is attempting to destabilize the US economy to spite "the gooks" lmoa
Kayden Garcia
Yeah I have noticed that just like I've noticed how many conservatives are complete and total fucking retarded faggots.
Also fuck white Anglos. Slavs and white non anglos are cool. But the eternal anglo must be bred out through multiple generations of interracial breeding. Think of your imperialist ancestors when your sister is getting her eggs colonized by black seed!
Colton Powell
>claims the best food in the world comes from Asia >won’t even eat donkey
Poser fuck shouldn’t get another tv show or season, what a fucking hypocrite
Joshua Evans
No it's not you but I dont blame them. They feel out of place wherever they are, not quite American, not quite from their homeland, whereas their parents can be full on Korean or whatever. That's the sentiment you heard from a lot of the Japanese-Americans who got interned during WW2. Not quite Japanese, not quite American, people without a home
William Cook
The best chefs are white, deal with it.
Parker Garcia
Has David Chang done fucking up Japanese food yet?
Gavin Price
The bit that got me was the woman of viet heritage going "I'm new orleans m8 stop saying I'm an immigrant"
Ryan Morris
he said that the Japanese fried chicken was the best food he ever had in the whole wide world and the Japanese chef just looked at him uncomfortably when he lumbered over for an obviously unwanted hug. Oh and he reviewed Japanese sushi pizza. that's about it.
also on an unrelated note the fried rice episode was about 5% fried rice and 80% explaining the historical prejudice against the Chinese in America. and 15% defending MSG.
Lucas Sanders
The part where he defended being as rude as possible when ordering at a chinese establishment kind of pissed me off. What the fuck kind of business hides their best food being a "rudeness/bluster" paywall? Seems a little egotistical if you ask me.
Isaac Adams
I want to cum in that gook.
Juan Perry
That's not very open to other cultures, user.
Vietnamese immigrants tend to be cool like that for some reason.
Connor Lopez
doesn't seem very open of a restaurant to withhold their best products from whiteys and amerifats unless they are browbeaten into cooking them, eh?
Joshua Jenkins
> good food only comes from asia > eats chinese food with a white guide > refuses to eat local donkey meat
This guy's got insecure second generation immigrant all over himself.
Camden Adams
well put

He's upfront about it though.

I watched a few - some parts were interesting enough, but it was pretty all over the place and david chang is just unlikable - that "low-key dickhead" thing people who move to new york do to show you how little they care because they're from the big city and focused on their vision or whatever always rubs me the wrong way
Gabriel Williams
why are white people so easy to trigger?
Colton Jackson
immigrant mutt having an identity crisis lmao
Jonathan Brooks
They have lower IQ's and are more prone to committing violent crimes than asians. Also, and most importantly they can't handle food with any flavor other than HFCS.
