Anybody watched "Ugly Delicious" with David Chang?

[Recursion]

My wife and I (both foodies) just finally got around to watching it. The crawfish episode is to die for. But the fried chicken episode is really making me think.

Chef Chang seems to have this overriding idea throughout the series about "authenticity" being a dangerous idea, that creates a burden we don't need to carry. But he gives so much airtime to people who push back against that. The fried chicken episode really breaks that down most clearly to me. You have a generation of African American chefs who created the various fried chicken cuisines throughout the country, who are now being commercially overtaken by white chefs with more financial backing. But it's not like the white chefs are just Columbusing; their grandmothers cooked them fried chicken every Sunday too (that was something that surprised me when I finally escaped the South: what I thought of as "food" is, thanks to the Great Migration, "soul food" in most of the country.

Anyways, just curious if anybody had seen the show and, if so, what thoughts y'all had.
