The Next Thing You Eat

What a shame that such a talented chef comes off as a narcissistic adolescent with the constant swearing and unfocused treatment of this topic.

It's always sad when someone extremely talented doesn't follow simple courtesies--like thinking about families that might want to watch this, and instead treats it as a vanity piece. Maybe stay in the kitchen and cook and leave the speaking to someone more polished.

Anyone who's ever worked in a professional kitchen knows the expletives fly all the time. Big deal. The content is far more important than a few swear words. I'd bet good money that the majority of wowsers here whining about the bad language voted for a president with yellow hair and a fake tan.

This might have been interesting. But 60 seconds into the first episode we've got an F-bomb along with several other swear words. Why?

This review is based on that 60 seconds only. So if you're OK with unnecessary profanity, you might enjoy this. I'm not OK with unnecessary profanity, so I'm out.

I had really high hopes for this series, but I couldn't make it past the first few minutes due to all the swearing. Is that really part of his branding? It's just impossible for me to take this guy seriously. Maybe David Chang is under the impression that swearing elevates his "street cred" among the target audience - young urban kids ('yukkies'). He sounds like a pre-teen trying to appear edgy and "tough" in front of older high school kids by dropping F-bombs as much as possible. In reality, peppering your language with expletives only results in having all your credibility and respectability thrown out the window. It might be an interesting series; too bad it panders to the gutter-mouth, trash talkin', ghetto 'hood mentality. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth and is wholly unappetizing. Skip it.

Have ya'll ever talked to a chef in real life? Good, interesting show. Fun to watch and think about. It explores different trends in cooking and discusses some of their rammifications.
