Chef and restaurateur David Chang, founder of the Momofuku group of restaurants, has earned numerous awards during his career, including Michelin stars and a prestigious James Beard Foundation Awar…
, on which he serves as both executive producer and host, is nominated for Outstanding Hosted Nonfiction Series or Special.
“You could do a 10-hour series on just the difference and the variety in the food of India, and it would still barely scratch the surface,” Chang notes. “It wasn’t supposed to be this conclusive, definitive thing… We’re hoping that we can leave a trail of breadcrumbs for people where they could find out more information on their own.”
“I wanted to be someone that was an expert in something and also wasn’t at all in other areas,” he observes, “and just wanted to see that sort of fallibility from a host perspective, where we’re going to leave in things where I messed up, or I look stupid, and we could have easily edited out… That was an important thing, is the screw-ups we wanted to leave in as a host.
“There’s always something that we’re trying to use as a Trojan horse, because we don’t want this show to only be for people that like food,” he insists. “We want it to be a sort of gateway to explore different topics and how things are connected in culture… So maybe someone doesn’t care about food, but now they will care about food a little bit more because they were parents.”
