This year's domestic food variety show can be described as "horrible". " Chinese Restaurant " and " Please Refrigerator " have also encountered Waterloo.
" Chinese Restaurant 5 " The Douban score has fallen to 4.5 points, and there seems to be room for decline.
As for the latest season of "Please the Refrigerator", it can basically be renamed "Bye Bye Bye Refrigerator". Just make games without cooking, and people can't eat.
Isn’t the only ugly destination for food shows that don’t serve meals?
Really not! There is such a food show in Japan, it is really not enough to eat, but it is really good.
An alternative food program launched by TV TOKYO in 2017- "Super hard food search" .
Director handheld camera,In the name of exploring food, go deep into dangerous and unstable environments around the world:
Garbage mountains, crematoriums, refugee camps, gangs compete in territories... Let everyone through dangerous food from dangerous people See the dangerous real world.
Except for the subtitles, the video is almost untouched. It’s hard to say whether it’s good food, but it can definitely afford the word " hardcore ".
The first episode came to Liberia in western Africa.
This piece of land has experienced many years of civil war and suffered from the Ebola virus attack, with scars.
During the civil war, both sides kidnapped children, let them hold guns and kill each other.
These children wear masks and take cocaine and go to the battlefield to escape the pain of war.
rumors are in extreme situations,They have also eaten the meat of the enemy...so they are also called "cannibal child soldiers".
With the help of informants, the program group came to their place of life.
After the civil war, this group of "pre- cannibals child soldiers" had nowhere to go. They could only hide in the cemetery, sleeping with garbage and bones.
Seeing this kind of scene with my own eyes is really shocking.
The woman holding a skull to greet the director attracted the attention of the show crew. Her name is Leforti, and she is one of the few women in the cemetery.
After her parents died in the war, in order to avenge her, she joined the child soldiers and went to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
The director asked Rifty what she would eat in the afternoon. She said that she would wait until eight o’clock in the evening when a customer paid for it before she went to buy food.
Laforti has been a prostitute since he was 18 years old and made a living by picking up customers.
The program team followed Laforti to her pick-up place, in front of a dilapidated little house.
After several rejections, Leforti finally waited for today’s guest money and earned 200 yuan for dinner.
Laforti took the program group to the place where she often eats, there are no lights, and you can't see her fingers.
In a dark restaurant, Laforti ordered a large plate of rice and a big bite of black potato curry.
asks you another classic question from ?
Laforti nodded and said: I am very happy.Because I can go to the streets to work, earn money to buy food, and then go home to sleep.
Loveti told the director that she has a dream to become a billionaire one day.
This meal cost 150 Liberian dollars, and the director took the rest of the billionaire with the dream of 50 Liberian dollars. The home of the cemetery.
If Laforti still has a place to live in the motherland, the situation of these people will be even worse.
In Serbia, a group of refugees from Pakistan and Afghanistan are trapped here.
When border control is strengthened, it is difficult for them to move forward and wait for suitable machines to move forward.
Some of these people have tried to cross the border hundreds of times,None of them succeeded, and some people died in the police chase.
They dubbed this dangerous cross-border behavior Over jokingly "Game of the borders" and they were caught by the police.
The 16-year-old Sar is one of the refugees. He has been in Serbia for two years.
The director asked him why he left home at such a young age?
Sar replied that he had cancer two years ago, and the situation at home is too bad. He wants to go to Italy or France to find a job in a relatively safe place. Earn money for treatment, and then go to school.
The director asked a few refugees again. Their pursuit sounds simple, and it’s good to get to a safe place to work.
and in reality they,Without food every day, in order to avoid hunting, he kept changing his residence, moving from one ruin to another, and couldn't sleep peacefully.
Even so, no one wants to return to the motherland, because it will only be worse.
Every morning and evening, there will be volunteers in the abandoned factory to provide them with food. Sal's dinner today is tomato curry spaghetti, his favorite pasta.
After this meal, he is about to embark on the 201st "game".
The director asked him if he was not afraid of crossing the border?
Thrall said with a smile, he is a man, there is nothing to be afraid of, he has to enjoy every minute, every second...

After bidding farewell to the program group, Thrall walked slowly towards the border.
Compared with the above-mentioned people in trouble,The next group of people to be visited can be said to be truly "dangerous people."
In the South Central area of Los Angeles, USA, gathers the two most notorious gangs: the Mexican Gang and the Black Gang.
The two major gangs are incompatible, fighting constantly, and from time to time they will stage bloody street scenes. The roadside walls are covered with AK47 bullet holes.
span 1span, this group of span 1span can't be arranged. Even the host Xiao Lai Qianfeng also sighed: "We have so many channels for the program group!"
When entering the Mexican gang residence, the informant must follow the program group again and again. Good rules here, otherwise it will kill him.
The person who is tattooing the customer is called Luis, and is a current member of the Mexican gang.
The gang members are not as scary as they thought, and Louis is very approachable.
Hearing that it is a gourmet show, Louis immediately shared with the director his special snack: cactus fruit flavored with chili and lime juice.
The taste is hard to imagine, but the director said it was delicious after eating.
You are indeed a Mexican who is not hot and unpleasant, and he is sprinkled with chili powder when he drinks beer.
When it was time for dinner, the program crew followed Louis to his favorite Mexican restaurant.
Today’s dinner is a Mexican classic: nachos. Crispy corn flakes , sprinkled with ground beef and cheese sticks, and topped with various sauces, looks very good.
Louis told the director,He was born in the United States and has never been to Mexico, but he only eats Mexican food . It can be regarded as the unique homesickness of the gangster.
With the mentality of "even rain and dew", the program team drove to help the black people again. This time, the former members of the Mexican gang were still leading the way.
The two places are very close, only 5 minutes by car.
A black brother with a double ponytail came to meet them. He has a cool name called Kill Bill, which has the same name as the Quentin movie.
Killing Bill told the director that he was called by this name before that movie. The reason was simple and rude because he killed the man named Bill.
As soon as the members of the black gang gather, the atmosphere of hip-hop comes to their faces, and even the greetings are: Hey, what's up? was when they were talking,A police helicopter flies overhead, and the police will come to patrol two or three times a day.
Compared to the Mexican gang, the relationship between the black gang and the police is more tense.
The tall member of the black gang GD (the real "celebrity gathering" of the black gang) took the show group to a burger restaurant, which was opened by their gang and is very famous in California.
GD excitedly introduced to the director that the burgers here are all different from other shops, and they use organic ingredients at very cheap prices!
It seems that the black gang still takes food seriously.
As a member of the gang, GD also has his own dietary philosophy. For him, every meal may be the last supper.
The director also asked the two gangs the same question: Why do they kill each other?
and their answer is exactly the same: they were born in such an environment,No one knows where the struggle begins. Just like heredity, revenge continues for generations.
In this documentary, there are many impressive people and things.
The uncle who works at the crematorium in Nepal, has eaten the same set meal from the same restaurant for decades, just to save money and subsidize the family.
And his unsatisfied son was arrested for taking drugs, he can only continue to do this job in order to take care of his grandson.
He has not changed anything in his life, including the rice in the bowl.
In Manila, the capital of the Philippines, children live by eating garbage.
There is a special "gourmet",It is called pagpag, and its production method may be difficult for many people to accept.
People dig through piles of garbage to find some leftover food, usually fried chicken and the like, wash them, re-fry them, and then sell them.
The children will make some pocket money by picking up these leftovers.
In the evening, a group of children took a remodeled tricycle to the largest shopping mall in the city, rummaged through their underground garbage dump for the leftover food, and then went back to the "land of happiness" Change money.
These children sang and searched until the morning.
Some children are too greedy and eat them directly after they find them out.
Also in the Philippines,There is also a village that makes a living by making charcoal, which is called a short-lived charcoal burning village in the show.
Due to the continuous burning of charcoal and inhaling a large amount of smoke, many people get sick and die at a young age.
Jerome, 14, has been working here for a year.
Because his parents were divorced, his father was drinking and Jerome had to work to support himself and his two younger brothers.
went to the urban area to recycle waste materials in the hot weather, moved them to charcoal burning places, and stacked them neatly... During the filming of the director, Jerome never stopped working. .
also did not stop, and there was a big smile on his face.
This job is very difficult for many adults, and the thin Jerome has no complaints.
He regards the charcoal yard as an amusement park,Easily climb up and down on a pile of waste materials full of nails and thorns, this is his favorite step "building a tree".
After laying out the wood, Jerome got his lunch of span1 _s with egg yolk.
He said to the director as he ate: It looks like a Christmas tree, I really want to decorate it.
After working at the charcoal yard, Jerome will go home and cook his brothers with salt or soy sauce and rice.
If it’s father’s payday, he might bring back some side dishes, but not always.
Jerome said: Sometimes I feel too tired and I want to escape, but I think about it.
because he has a goal of his own,After saving enough money, go back to school to study.
Compared to food shows, this is actually more like a human observation show.
Through the various forms of food, the director showed us a broader, complex, and more vital world.
People in the lens, measured by ordinary standards, cannot be said to be happiness, or even unfortunate, but even if they don’t know whether they will be able to eat the next meal, they can’t stop them. The smile on his face.
Material poverty does not weaken people's ability to perceive happiness.
"Enjoy every minute and every second" , this is what Thrall left to the camera before he went to the border, and it is also what the people in the film show who are trying to survive in order to survive .
Roman Rowland said: "There is only one kind of heroism in the world,After recognizing the truth of life, I still love it. "
believes deeply.
1span is the suffering that is not worthy of praise in life, and the suffering of life is still worthy of praise.
