Chef Eddie Huang kicks off his new web series “Fresh Off the Boat.” His first stop in the San Francisco Bay Area is Oakland, CA where he hangs with a local biker gang to show hipsters how to shoot guns and hunt for rabbit. After a few gruesome hours in the Oakland outback, they head back to the club house to shoot the breeze and throw back a few cold ones. Eddie reflects on the disconnect between people/chefs and the process it takes to put meat on our plates, all before cooking up a delicious meal of southern style deep fried rabbit. Cooking seafood like a live lobster is one thing, but slaughtering an animal is a whole different process. This is one show you will not see on the Food Network or the Cooking Channel. Definitely eye opening.
Fresh Off The Boat With Eddie Huang: Bay Area Part 1 (contains profanity and graphic animal slaughter)
Fresh Off the Boat is a genre-bending venture into subculture through the lens of food. Raw, wild, and heartfelt, Eddie Huang gets down in the underbellies of cities around the world in search of what’s cooking in their back alleys and underground spots. He’s hunting rabbits with biker gangs in Oakland, eating seafood and surfing in Taiwan, hitting low-rider BBQs in East LA, and dining on rice and beans with your drug dealer’s grandmother in Miami.
