High on the Hog: How African American Cuisine Transformed America (2021)
Not really a "food" show,
I want to like this. I love food and I love the history behind them, but unfortunately this did not provide either.
Everyone in this show are great except the host....which is the problem. As the advocate for us, he did not ask the right questions nor explore anything new. I want to learn about the culture, the history, the heritage but Stephen is horrible at accomplishing that. I cannot help but compare it to Ugly Delicious which does African American cruise more justice than this.
I like the idea but with an uncharismatic host (honestly get Dr J to do it) the show was difficult to get through. Direction was that great either, lots of voiceover and establishing shots as well that have no purpose except "oh this would look cool" to make it overly cumbersome. Please try again but.....with someone else.
