It’s hard to overstate how endearing Thu Tran is.  I mean basically when Pee Wee’s playhouse came to end, so did surrealism in TV.  But now it’s back, and Thu Tran might be the most adorable person on the planet.  Her collaborative anti- reality food cooking show, FOOD PARTY, is part puppet show, part cooking show, if by cooking you mean putting a cornish game hen over a can of Mountain Dew and putting it into a fake cardboard oven and then feeding it to a baguette paramour.  Exactly.  She herself says of her work, “I strive to achieve visual MSG.”

It’s also the first cooking show where on one episode a guest actually gets food poisoning from her cooking!!!!  Expect guest appearances from the likes, and I mean likes, of Jay-Z, Beyonce, and an ice cream cone.

Her show can be found on it’s original site foodparty.tv, but it’s also been picked up by the Independent Film Channel and you can find it there, but don’t expect to learn anything about cooking.
