Flavorful Origins (2019– )
7/10
Informative, but be warned of the squelching.

This shows pretty fun. Every episode you learn about different cooking techniques of the same ingredient in different cities within a state/county?/region of China. Knowing about the technicals about why it works is honestly fascinating. However.

While the show is a bit over produced. (ok, over produced is an understatement). And the narrator is trying to do a movie trailer announcer voice the entire time. My issue comes in with the sound design, another review has mentioned it but every. single. food. makes a squelching gloppy slime asmr noise. Potato, soup, meat, water, noodles, frying or boiling. Kneading or grinding. It made me want to tear my ears off. I mean, still watched, its a very fascinating show but Im sorry to say that as interesting as it was I got grossed out by a lot of the food. So if you are sensitive to that kind of thing. Be warned.
