Guys, I love this show. I usually am a bit of a tv binger, but I found that every episode was so rich that I needed to really process each episode. I think I most appreciated the way that the show used food as a lens through which to look at systems of power. For example, the whole episode on race, slavery and fried chicken was just stunning and so informative. I really admired Chang for asking the chef of Hattie's honestly hard questions about how creating a "safe" space for people who want to eat fried chicken but don't want to enter "low income" (i.e. black) spaces. These questions about appropriation are super complex, but I think the conversation needs to be had and I appreciated it. Also, some of the food looked seriously amazing!
