Hello friends and lovers -- Food Party

July 1, 2008 6:21 AM

"Food Party is a (would-be) TV cooking show with a spicy saigon kitchen-witch as your hostess, a cast of unruly puppets as culinary advisors, and a cavalcade of hip-hop/sports world celebrities as surprise dinner guests. Shot on location in a technicolor cardboard kitchen, each episode will instruct you on how to prepare wild gourmet multi-course meals with ingredients you probably have on hand in your kitchen already, such as pretzel rods, cheese puffs, eggs, sugar, secret ingredients, and pizza. After all, you never know who might show up for dinner."

All three episode and bonus Xmas special are in the initial link. There are a few other videos on Thu Tran's (eye-searingly color clashing) Youtube channel. She also runs the Food Party blog, where she and a few others write about various comestibles; some scrumptious, some not so much. And here's her non-food-related art site. (Also: corn monster!)

I am glad to see the spirit of Peewee's Playhouse lives on.

If they don't have the Swedish Chef, I don't want to watch.

That made my morning. I laughed all the way through.

"Are you talking?"

"I'm a magic egg, Thutran. That's what we do. "

(that's from episode 2.)

This is incredible. Thanks for pointing this out.

I could really go for some whiskey weed walnut waffles right about now.

Dude, the director is my buddy! How'd I miss the Metafilter? They're filming a new one that'll be up very soon.
