I persevered with Ugly Delicious and I think I warmed to David Chang quite a bit. He's got one of those personalities that you know what he'd be like as a person, but he has some really interesting ideas about food and society, and the programmes are really well structured. Even when they return to the same places - the segments in Denmark, China and Japan which were all filmed together contribute something completely different to each show.
The Houston v New Orleans crayfish programme, and the fried chicken show addressing all the cultural and racial background to the food culture, were excellent.
As a side note, as a vegetarian, I was wondering if any of the show would make me want to reconsider that because I'd be overwhelmed with how delicious everything looked. But while I found the BBQ stuff fascinating, I just didn't fancy eating it. Especially when I saw the poor crayfish being poured alive into a giant pot.
