My recommendation for food documentaries, shows and series



I almost forgot that this blog existed. Thank you for your response on the tweet. I think a blog post will make it easier for you to access the list. The list will be updated in days to come once I watch more and more of these amazing stories. I have a list of videos recommended by friends. Please drop your recommendation on comment.


Some of the food bloggers and food related shows that I have subscribed on YouTube. Not in any particular order. 


Mark Weins 

I watch him for his simplicity and I saw him grow from like few thousand subscribers to 7.7 million as of writing this blog. 

The Food Ranger

A Canadian having lived in China and fluent in Chinese language, he travels around with his girlfriend. Wherever he goes, he tries to learn local language and he speaks local language while ordering the food. 

李子柒 LiziqiDianxi Xiaoge

Watching these two girl's cooking and their way of living, it makes me question about my way of life. I feel like renting out a property on the hills and live the life they are living. It is an experience. 

Munchies, Eater, Tasty

In my perspective, these three content producer fall under same category. I love it how they try to diversify. Eater's coverage on Japanese cuisine is amazing. Tasty produced this amazing 16 minute long video about a Japanese Chef making  400 bowl of ramen and it gave me chills, please watch it


"Soup is the soul of the bowl."


Some of the food shows and documentaries that I have watched on Netflix.  Not in any particular order. 


Somebody feed Phil

This came as the first in list because Im currently watching it. It has four seasons so far.  The host of the show Philip Rosenthal travels around the world trying different cuisines and meeting various people. I am enjoying it so far because the show has maintained a balanced between food and story of those who make that food and a Phil's jolly character .

The Chef Show

The chef show is presented by Jon Favreau and Roy Choi. It is a spin-off from the 2014 Favreau film Chef.  Favreau often mentions how he fell in love with cooking while working on the movie.  It has 25 episodes in two seasons so far, first season has three volumes. 

Street Food Asia, Street Food Latin America

Street food Asia is my personal favorite. It might be because I could relate to most of the cuisines and stories behind the cuisines, this series got me hooked.  

The Taco Chronicles

Ever since I had that Avenue 26 Tacos in Los Angeles I fell in love with the food. But to my disappointment I never found another good Tacos place ever. After watching this series I came to realize that the reason why most of the places failed to impress my tastebuds is because they lacked passion and stories. It has two seasons. Try watching it in Spanish with English subtitle. It hits differently. 

Flavorful Origins

This has to be the best Chinese food documentary ever. My friends who are into video productions and storytelling will definitely love the production aspects of the video. 

Ugly Delicious

This is another favorite on Netflix. I know I have said that a lot, but, yeah. Chef David Chang takes you to a culinary journey in this series. They travel around the world for the stories. In the very first episode where they were talking about Pizza and trust me it got me so hooked I feel like I grew up next to a pizza place in Brooklyn. 

Chef's Table

This was one of my early watch and I'm glad I watched it. The series is about six of the world's most renowned chefs. This series was directed by David Gelb, the same guy who directed Jiro Dreams of Sushi.


I saved the best one for last.


Jiro Dreams of Sushi

If you are wondering where you should start from, then, this is the one. It is one of the best food documentary that has been produces so far. It was  directed by David Gelb, the film is about Jiro Ono, 85 year old sushi master. He is the owner of Sukiyabashi Jiro, a Michelin star restaurant. 

I was fortunate enough that I got to spend spent some time in Tokyo and I was always amazed by people's dedication for their job. Jiro Dreams of Sushi is exact representation of most of the Japanese working class people. They are always humble and eager to improve. Jiro San at 85 says, he is still learning.
