This show has helped me fill a small fraction of a void inside of me, that is the yearn to travel again. Street Food — Asia is beautifully shot, diving into the lives of each individual street food vendor. As travelers, we see cheap and delicious food, but we rarely think about the struggle behind running a street food stall, and I think this show does a great job of unpacking the lives of each individual, highly recommend!

His best show, I think. There are 12 seasons.
It captures and shares his profound desire to taste life — all of it — and understand people.
And the humanity of food; life is hard and messy, and still we eat and find joy in that.

This TV show was inspired by the movie Skate Kitchen, and it sadly only got two seasons. It had a wonderful diverse cast. The way it was shot and written was so refreshingly realistic & natural, in a way I still haven't quite come across since. I hesitate to solely say "written" (although I'm sure most of it was), because some of those dialogue exchanges felt so natural that they reminded me of improv. It was like the directors had turned on a camera and started filming an existing environment. (Was gonna recommend I Am Not Okay With This in this thread as well but someone else in the comments already gave it some love <3)

While everyone is raving about their trendy nonstick pans, I’m here to bring the spotlight back to cast iron cookware. There’s a huge stigma around how hard it is to take care of cast irons, but it’s really not bad! You just gotta keep using it, and over time, it basically becomes nonstick. This article has sent off a tangent, and now I am a proud owner of a well-seasoned cast iron pan and griddle.

I’ve never been to Disney as a kid and as I grew older I always felt like I was too old for it. I spontaneously tagged along with my family the day before they left and I think that was the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m a huge fan of Star Wars and Avatar, and even as an adult I think I had the best week of my life and I felt like a kid again. I legitimately had real tears of joy on some of the rides. It’s never too late!

Antique shops have a special place in my heart because it reminds me of my childhood road trips. When I was little, I always thought antique shops were just useless junk. As I grew older, I’ve learned to appreciate the “junk” a bit more. Browsing through the aisles, they kind of feel like a time machine. My top things to look out for are vintage cameras, dutch ovens, and vintage porcelain.
