More Critic Reviews for Ugly Delicious Season 1 All Critics (21) | Top Critics (13) | Fresh (21) | Rotten (0) It's a cooking show that has explicit judgments, and that states them, and sometimes tries to work through them, which makes it less soothing than some other cooking shows, but also more interesting. Dec 19, 2018 | Full Review… Willa Paskin Slate Top Critic Chang's best moments are thoughtful takes on the immigrant experience. Jul 2, 2018 | Full Review… Jessica Yadegaran San Jose Mercury News Top Critic I don't watch much food television. What it serves up - competition, showiness - has never really made me hungry. Until now. David Chang's series "Ugly Delicious," on Netflix, makes me ravenous. Mar 20, 2018 | Full Review… Devra First Boston Globe Top Critic Those who prefer their pizza with the works should order up the first episode of "Ugly Delicious," the delightfully messy new series by renowned chef David Chang, who is grounded enough to appreciate the occasional slice of Domino's. Feb 26, 2018 | Full Review… Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune Top Critic In the very least, it provides plenty of food for thought. Feb 23, 2018 | Rating: A- | Full Review… Hanh Nguyen indieWire Top Critic Don't watch [Ugly Delicious] while hungry. Feb 23, 2018 | Full Review… Allison Shoemaker RogerEbert.com Top Critic It's for want of a better term, woke cooking, and it makes for hypnotic watching, which is why I'd probably end up queuing for more of it. Feb 15, 2019 | Full Review… Anna Conrad GQ Magazine [UK] It tells a beautiful story of America and how we got here, one taco at a time. Jan 28, 2019 | Full Review… Ani Bundel NBC News THINK The message is reassuringly simple: the inelegant, ungainly and downright dangerously calorific is just as important as a three-Michelin-starred chef's latest dizzyingly complex concoction.
