David Chang Teams Up With Netflix for New Series Ugly Delicious

david_chang_netflix.0.jpg


Momofuku emperor David Chang is headed to Netflix next month with a new show that will use food as a springboard for exploring the big ideas of authenticity and identity. Dubbed Ugly Delicious, the series will feature Chang eating and drinking with chefs, writers, artists, and entertainers at beloved restaurants around the world, all while discussing the traditions and shared experiences inextricably tied to comfort foods.

Although Chang is no stranger to television, he hasn’t starred in his own show since the inaugural season of Mind of a Chef way back in 2012. Morgan Neville, the Academy Award-winning filmmaker behind the music-industry documentary 20 Feet From Stardom, is working with Chang as a director and executive producer.

The show’s title refers to a term that the Momofuku chef/restaurateur often uses as a hashtag on Instagram to share photos of his favorite dishes. Last summer, during a conversation on the Eater Upsell, Chang explained that as a young cook, he turned his back on the Korean food that he grew up with and focused instead on Japanese cuisine and the French food that he viewed as “the pinnacle of gastronomy.” But over the last few years in particular, he dug into to the foods he loved as a child. “As I’ve gotten older, I’ve embraced all the things that I truly love eating,” Chang said. “I’m not embarrassed about it anymore. Now I’m just like, I don’t give a fukk.”

Ugly Delicious will cover myriad cuisines with input from food fanatics like Alan Yang, Ruth Reichl, Peter Meehan, Jessica Koslow, Alex Raij, Justin Yu, Gustavo Arellano, Ali Wong (see clip below), Fuchsia Dunlop, René Redzepi, Jimmy Kimmel, Roy Choi, and Eater’s own Serena Dai. Chang says the goal was to create “a collaborative forum, a place where it’s okay to have strong opinions and honest conversations about food.”

The premiere date is set for February 23. Stay tuned for more details as they become available.

Anybody watching Godzilla? This lead character dude is annoying with the Godzilla hate. Jesus

Saw that coming a mile away. Threw it the bushes quick, that trash ass CGI mix also helped in the decision.

New Netflix Cartel Show ‘Better Than Narcos’

Netflix have been on a roll recently – releasing hit after hit – and their latest documentary is sure to be another success story.

Like me, you may be suffering from Narcos related withdrawal symptoms and in need of another cartel show to watch.

Well Netflix now has the medicine you need as the riveting new docu-drama series, Drug Lords, will reveal the true stories behind history’s most notorious kingpins – it looks amazing.
The series promises to explore the rise, reign and fall of some of the world's most infamous drug lords including Colombian kingpin Pablo Escobar and the most notorious gangster in US history, Frank Lucas.

Featuring interviews with men and women who were directly involved with them, the series looks at each side of the law talking to both the cops as well as the crooks.

Across eight episodes in total, the worlds of these ruthless criminals will be brought to life with interviews and recreations of key events.

The first four episodes are currently available to stream on Netflix with the first one focusing on the most famous drug lord of them all - Pablo Escobar.

Between 2009 and 2011 El Chapo was the second most powerful drug dealer in the world, (behind Carlos Slim) and at the height of his power in the 1980s, he supplied 80 per cent of all the cocaine smuggled into the US.

In 2016, after a nationwide manhunt, he was finally apprehended by the Colombian police after breaking out of prison for a second time.

The second episode looks at the life of the original American gangster, Frank Lucas, who dominated the heroin market in Harlem in the 1960s and 70s, declaring himself to be 'the richest black man in the world'.

The Cali cartel, which was run by brothers Gilberto and Miguel Rodriguez-Orejuela, is the focal point of the third episode as the series looks at how a $7 billion annual global empire was run from behind the scenes in Colombia.

Yet the fourth analyses the Pettingill clan from Australia which was run by Kath, best known as 'Granny Evil' and was known for battling cops and torturing anyone who got in their way.

The first four episodes of Drug Lords are available to stream on Netflix now. The last four are due to drop later this year.
