New show from David Chang, highly recommend if you enjoy food centric tv. First two episodes were pizza and tacos, and they were both great. Curious to see the bbq episode.

Yes, folks who are left leaning and feel the need to interject their own politics into everything. Those folks that are the reason I can't even watch even something like sports without being politically lectured. I must be silly for thinking cooking shows and sports shouldn't effectively alienate half their potential viewers.

I'll agree to disagree. When he talks to a female black African American studies professor who says Popeyes is racist for having a southern black woman in their commercials, or when I hear "A taco is resistance, politics, all that stuff", what I hear isn't a rational challenge. I think there is plenty to address culturally without getting political. So like I said, I'll agree to disagree.
A) What political opinion of mine did I inject? These are examples of political opinions presented in the show.MichaelJ said:BQRyno said:

Aren't you injecting your political view on this thread by ranting about the opposite political view being injected in to this show?
Again, I would be against the show pushing a conservative agenda as well. I would prefer it be about culture, not politics. I'm not sure how else I can say that.MichaelJ said:
I feel like you ranting and complaining about the "liberal agenda" implies you're a conservative.
However making mention of any politics is really forcing politics in general in to a discussion that isn't about politics.
How was it?Frankly said:
Great show. I am a Dallasite but I loved the Houston one too. Really cool. I was in Toronto last night and ate at Momo***u. Some bbq pork buns and ramen

It's hard not to roll your eyes at "a taco is not just a taco. A taco is resistance."
his fixation/blind preference for asian dishes is kind of tiresome.Head Ninja In Charge said:
David Chang seemed like a dick in this series. Did not enjoy it.

I thought he got a bit Dickish in the pizza episode. He just suddenly looks at the camera and says, "that's my last delivery, I'm done with this dh/t"

I will add that it looked like Sean Brock was very uncomfortable when they were eating at Bolton's and David was asking the woman about Hattie B's and the fact that the owner/chef is a white guy. It was either the conversation, or the hot chicken was doing a number on him.

It's amazing how much my myasthenia gravis [ed. note: Brock was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in 2016] is linked to this. If I don't stay grounded and happy, my immune system goes nuts, and I lose the ability to see clearly and for my nerves to communicate with my muscles and my muscles to communicate with my nerves. It's pretty crazy that it took this to happen for me to step back and look at what I was putting myself through.
