Chef Eddie Huang continues his new web series “Fresh Off the Boat” in the San Francisco Bay Area. After his visit in Oakland, Eddie heads across the bay to the Mission District in San Francisco with the girls who run a pop-up, street dining gig in the city, Rice Paper Scissors. Their Vietnamese food is some of city’s best and brings buddies together to cook and hang out wherever they find space, even in the middle of the street. The Rice Paper Scissors girls show Eddie their go-to food spots to prep for their meals, before grilling up octopus, drinking rice wine and talking food as culture’s gateway drug. Nothing like srichacha sauce on the lip of a can of Coke.

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.
