elizabeth-bergland I didn't think this show was real when I first saw it... however, when I confirmed that I hadn't fallen through a portal and into some sort of alternate universe, I was floored by its awesomeness. The show's host, Thu Tran, exists in a bizarre, pastel-colored liminal zone, somewhere between the Food Network, Duchamp's Dadaism, Yo Gabba Gabba, and Warhol-esqe pop art. It's undefinable, really, and totally unique. If you're looking for something that you can compare to something else you've seen (as the previous reviewer was, apparently), this is not the right show to watch. If you're in the mood for some highly-enjoyable bewilderment, however, this is the way to go! I'm a huge fan--kudos to IFC for giving the show a chance.

plokid1970 If you like the craziest, zaniest and cheapest television comedy and aren't offended by anything, then this is the show for you. I love it. Thu is an absolute scream and so are the other "actors" especially Peter and whoever the guy is who played "Mr. Misery", a Curt Cobain knockoff. I record the show (because it's usually on late at night in between movies on IFC) and watch it later many times over.The cast are basically all unknowns from New York City who possess distinct character and personality but probably couldn't find enough work to put them over in the business, so they do "Food Party". I hope the show lasts for a few more seasons and after it's over the company puts it out on DVD so it can be preserved.

emiljaeo I never saw the first season of Food Party, but what I have seen of season 2 has consistently left me staring shell-shocked at the screen while the credits roll. In a good way. Take Pee Wee's Playhouse, the Mighty Boosh, Hello Kitty and a cooking show, throw them all in a pot, stir vigorously and what you get is Food Party. The show's lack of polish may be off-putting to some (there's always the Disney Channel, guys), but to my mind it serves to expose the creativity at work here. Mercifully low-budget creativity. The secret ingredient is Tran herself, whose child-like demeanor and deadpan acting make me feel like I'm eavesdropping on a little girl's stuffed animal tea party. Except it's more like a little girl's stuffed animal imaginary cooking show adventure. Food Party is a crazy change of pace.

hmservant I have watched six episodes of this show on IFC and found nothing about it to recommend. Even though it is supposed to be funny (I think), I didn't laugh once. The plots are very simplistic, which in itself is not detrimental. Yet, when the actors appear visibly anguished to be associated with the show, it does tend to detract from the experience of watching it. The sole person who seems to be enjoying it is Thu Tran, who, although energetic enough, lacks the acting ability and professionalism to pull off the feat of starring. She seems like a nice person and is quite lovely; however, she simply isn't funny and I have seen better acting in grade school plays. I realize it is her show, but if Greencard Productions is committed to the show, it should seriously consider replacing Tran with a person of talent.
