Food Lore (2019)

Virginia Woolf said it best, "One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well."  Truer words have never been spoken about the importance of food in society and cultures throughout the world as a whole.  In the Netflix series Food Lore, we follow a bevy of different characters with one common link between them, noshing on some incredible food and the relationships that they build because of their cooking, be it friendly, marital, patriarchal, business, or even sexual.  This food centric series is shot as vignettes by 8 different directors all from different Asian and Southeast Asian countries and if this doesn't make you want to get a big bowl of Pho or some Vindaloo, we don't know what will.  Each chapter of this story follows the culture of the director and actors that are in focus, be it a housekeeper and employer in Manila, or a Japanese chef in Vietnam who tries to woo a woman with Tofu, or even an American asshole in Thailand who thinks burgers and fries are the only food anyone should eat.  When each chapter unfolds, you definitely want to go check the pantry, see if you have anything calling your name, but it's the sexy ladies in the series that make you want to head to a private room in your house and satisfy a different kind of appetite...  The unquenchable boner they give you!  Anh Thi Ngoc Nguyen gives us the lone nude scene in the series so far, showing us everything including an amazing landing strip bush!  We also get some sexy undies unveil with the busty Alexandra Gottardo and the gorgeous Putri Ayudya.  So watch this, go knock one out, then eat something with noodles in it for christ sake!  Food is the fastest way to someone's heart, but sometimes you gotta take a detour to "Orgasm-ville" along the way.
