David Chang would make a solid troll on this board

David Chang may be the most famous chef of his American generation, who went on from his groundbreaking 2004 Momofuku Noodle Bar to open a series of well received restaurants in New York and around the globe. Chang's new food documentary, an eight-part series titled "Ugly Delicious," debuts on Netflix Friday. Houstonians with more than a passing interest in food may want to binge-watch, but my guess is the majority will leap ahead to the fourth episode, much of which was shot here. "Shrimp and Crawfish" is the somewhat opaque title of the chapter, but it's really about the unique joys of Viet-Cajun crawfish and how they found a foothold here on the Gulf Coast. There are lots of local cameos, from Chang's fellow James Beard Award winners Justin Yu and Chris Shepherd to Trong Nguyen, the chef-owner of Chinatown classic Crawfish & Noodles. But Houston itself emerges as the episode's main character, right along with ringmaster Chang himself.

"I hate the weather. I hate the way it looks" Chang says of our city in a voiceover. What he loves, though, is a culinary scene shaped by late-20th-century immigrants (his own parents came to America from Korea in the 1960s) — where chefs and cooks and diners "will take a chance on the new

“Is Houston the most exciting food city in America right now? The world, maybe?” That’s just one of the provocative questions that celebrity chef David Chang asks in his new Netflix series, Ugly Delicious. Set to debut February 23, the eight episodes explore the intersection of food and culture across a variety of topics: everything from the debate about whether Neapolitan pizza is better than New York-style to the way that fried chicken has been used to foster negative stereotypes about African Americans. Houston plays a prominent role in the fourth episode, which is titled “Shrimp and Crawfish.” The episode explores how the two crustaceans are prepared to contrast how the cities of Houston and New Orleans embrace diversity.

I watched the shrimp/crawfish Ugly Delicious episode last night. It made me want to try some Viet-Cajun crawfish.

Well, he also proclaimed his love for Dominos Pizza on the first episode that featured "the best" Pizza from all over the world. Then he proceeded to have a "feature" on Dominos with plenty of product placement. He is about $$$$ and making outrageous statements draws viewers who like and dislike him. With that said, I liked the first episode.

It's really great stuff. I call it Casian food.
For Houstonians: There's a fantastic new place that serves this stuff from snow crab rolls to wings to crawfish, etc. It's called Lollipop Chicken on Antoine over by Inwood.

Eh, he said he realizes that it isn't really good, but there is an appeal to him.
I'm on episode 5, I think.

He loves cheap beer too. He seems to go out of his way to call out foodie and “beer snob” culture whenever he can.

I've only watched a couple of minutes of the Shrimp and Crawfish episode, but I thoroughly enjoyed the first two on pizza and home cooking. Does he think New Orleans is Cajun?

Some Vietnamese girl claimed she was as Cajun as anyone in New Orleans because that's where she was born and raised. I agree with her, but I don't think she meant that she wasn't Cajun at all

The Shrimp and Crawfish episode paints New Orleans as a bunch of traditionalists. According to Cheng, the city is stuck in its ways and won’t accept any sort of mixture or collaboration on the existing cuisine.
He is far off in this assessment as you can find the fusion scene popping up all over, from Gullota’s places (Maypop and MoPho) to Marjie’s grill, to Killer PoBoys. Hell, we now have viet-inspired King Cakes allegedly being sold on a secondary market. The entire episode was way off based from a Nola perspective with cherry picked examples to fit his narrative.

I kind of felt like the Domino's feature was overkill in the Pizza one (though hilarious as well, because I have a brother in law who is a franchisee, but wouldn't have a clue who David Chang is as he's not a foodie).
That being said, he certainly didn't give the same treatment to Taco Bell in the Taco episode, basically running them through the wringer over stealing that family's fame and fortune by imitating their model.
I love Chang, though. As I've said elsewhere, he's now partnered with a former student and good friend of mine, Ian Purkayastha, the "Truffle Boy." They've cobranded some American sturgeon caviar together and some other products, I believe.

Order a Dominos pizza well done one day and see if it don't change your opinion of them.

I’m a self avowed pizza geek, and I will eat a thin crust Dominos with pepperoni, mushrooms, and spinach. It’s cracker-thin and leavened with a little baking powder, and somehow it manages to be delicious despite its industrial nature.

Didn't he make noise by wanting to start a $30 chicken sandwich restaurant a few years back.
Is he racist for that now?

I grew up on Chicago thin crust pizza (much better than the touristy stuffed or deep dish bullshite) and would have never dreamed of ordering Domino's. Where I live now, there isn't much of a choice in pizza so we often end up ordering Domino's. A couple years back they reformulated their recipes and, man, it's far from being delicious, but their thin crust is certainly better than tolerable and beats the hell out of the other major chains.

Ugly Delicious is a really good show and I love the knowledge and banter about food, but Chang tries way too hard to insert politics into the show.
Him preaching to the Vietnamese worker about how all immigrants should be allowed in the USA, and the Vietnamese smashing that back in his face, was very satisfying. The next shot of Chang shaking his head in disbelief that he doesn't know how to tell the Vietnamese man to be more open and tolerant was quite funny.
