Fresh, Fried & Crispy

I enjoy the concept of exploring fried food. But Daym is a bit of a turnoff. He should let the chefs and their food be the star. He does that to a degree, then pulls the spotlight squarely back onto himself. Ugh. I suspect this is part of his YouTube origin, but it doesn't work for hosted TV.

I don't even mind that he's not 100% a fan of everything. But, for example, taking lettuce and heirloom tomato off a sandwich a chef just gave you and throwing it onto the floor? Totally disrespectful, and in no way clever.

5 stars--for the food and the chefs; they are pretty great.

If this gets a 2nd season, maybe Daym can dial it back.

The food and restaurants in this show are amazing, I'm so sorry they had to deal with this annoying host.

The slow motion shots of the host eating, and then with food all in his beard are making this show hard to watch. What kind of food host refuses to eat the food served? He won't eat tomato or several other items he is served. I don't like this guy at all. I saw an extreme close up of this man's tongue, I could have went my whole life without seeing that. The host is super annoying and rude.

Fresh, Fried and Crispy is a bright vibrant show , that that has a similar format to Food networks Man vs Chef. The host visits different restaurants tasting their fried speciality , while giving his verdict. I enjoy watching it while eating.

Daym Drops is a big dude and a big personality. The businesses he chooses to highlight look great. However I can do without the slow motion, pornographic shots of Drops shoveling food into his gaping maw. It's a bit much.

I love the show and the concept for everything in it, but the throwing of the ingredients off of the plates or not eating how they make it is so disrespectful. If the host wants to eat the meal differently that's fine but do it off the camera. But the host is at these places for the chef's food and won't even eat it as they make it.
