Every Restaurant in David Chang's 'Ugly Delicious' Show on Netflix
Here's every restaurant Ugly Delicious hosts David Chang and Peter Meehan visit in the first season of the food show on Netflix.
Cut to the chase: Ugly Delicious, David Chang's show on Netflix, is one of the most important (and probably the best) documentary food series I've watched in years. Not only is it an international master class in some of the world's favorite comfort foods, but the construct of the show combined with Chang's oftentimes-confrontational interview style also offers powerful takeaways on multiculturalism and American history in every episode — all with an eye toward the future and how (or if) bringing people together around the dinner table can somehow open a gateway to mutual understanding and greater tolerance of our differences.
Sounds deep, huh? It is. And the first season of the series is so thoughtfully framed, it's worth watching twice. Oh yeah, and the featured food is spectacular — round-the-world itinerary, mouthwatering, destination-travel stuff. Here's our complete cheat sheet of every location in the first season of Ugly Delicious, from New Orleans to Shanghai.

Lucali (575 Henry St., Brooklyn, NY, 718-858-4086): David Chang, Peter Meehan, and Lucali's Mark lacono talk about pizza philosophy — "You can throw ramen on top of pizza dough — but is it pizza?" — and lacono shows them how he rolls out the dough with a wine bottle.

Domino's: Before Chang goes on an epic day of deliveries with Domino's delivery staff, he orders his favorite Domino's pie — a thin crust pizza with alfredo sauce, onions, and bacon — for Iacono to try.

Giovanni Battista, 3, 81013 Caiazzo, Italy, 0823-862718): Here's where chef Franco Pepe has broken away from Neapolitan pizza rules and instead serves pizza the way he believes it best — the "Mistaken Margherita" has no tomato sauce base, and the ingredients are layered on the base in reverse order. "For me, only good pizza exists," he says.
Seirinkan (2-6-4 Kamimeguro, Meguro-ku, Tokyo, 03-3714-5160): Fresh Japanese ingredients make this pizza 100% Japanese — "What Naples has given me is pizza — which I make in the image of myself," chef Susumu Kakinuma says.

"I've always been obsessed with how Japanese treat rice and fish — in an almost life-changing way," Olvera says. "So we decided we wanted to do that for tacos." The restaurant serves tacos wrapped in a single-origin tortilla, with a main component cooked over coal — and only on the omakase menu.
Episode 3: Home Cooking
Official show description: "As Dave and Peter Meehan help prep the Chang family's Thanksgiving feast, fellow chefs look back on their most powerful childhood memories of food."
There are few restaurants featured in this episode, which is dedicated to home cooking, with a focus on Thanksgiving. Chang talks a lot about the differences between cooking in a restaurant and cooking at home. "Home cooking is this: I don't want to get another fucking utensil because I don't want to wash the dishes," he says — and the inevitable, growing ties between the food he's cooking in his professional life and the food he grew up eating at home. "I can't believe I'm quoting a cartoon, but it triggers something," Chang says. "It's when you eat a dish that's not even roast chicken, but that reminds you of a dish of roast chicken cooked by your mom. That's where you want to be in cooking."

Meanwhile, Meehan observes: "I've watched Dave become nationally and internationally famous and open tons of businesses. The amount of private life I think he even has time for is even so small in New York, so it's always funny to see somebody have to cook in their socks and take shit from their moms."

Diep Tran reveals that many chefs don't have a lot of things in their refrigerators and talks about how Babette's Feast changed her life: "I love the idea of Babette blowing all her money on one night. As a refugee, you're always scrimping and saving, and you'd never do anything so frivolous.
