It would be fruitless for me to try to explain Thu Tran's "would-be cooking show" Food Party. Just watch. Seriously. Watch it now. Once you do, you will wonder how you got along all your life without a cooking show that features puppets, Satan and donuts growing on trees.
Food Party was screened at the New York Television Festival, which also screened Donut Homies Jeff and Wendy's hilarious sitcom pilot Point View Terrace. PVT was robbed of any awards due to New York provincialism (they are based in LA), but Food Party was given something called the "Outside the Box Award." When accepting the award, Ms. Tran thanked her father, who she said stole all the "brown tape" used to build the sets from his office.
If you can't get enough Food Party, they also have a blog.
