Synopsis

Food Party is an American television series that airs on the Independent Film Channel in the United States. The show is a pseudo-reality cooking show filmed on an elaborate, technicolored cardboard kitchen set. Each episode features multi-course, out-of-this-world gourmet meals cooked up by hostess Thu Tran and a cast of colorful puppets for arriving "celebrity" guests. The show was originally produced and filmed in Cleveland for two web series based episodes, and later relocated to Brooklyn for the final web series episodes and six IFC produced shows. In October 2010 Thu Tran announced that the show was not picked up by IFC for a third season.

ShangLuda Admirable film.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
jimy23 Food Party is one of the most surreal shows i have seen since Pee Wee's playhouse there both very much alike. Thu Tran the host is one the few Asian Americans in a comedy on TV that does not act like a stereotype. This whole show looks like it was made on drugs the set art the puppets the special effects and the food all appear to be inspired by pot shrooms and LSD surreal shows like this are right up my alley it's nonsensical fun and make little to no sense. This reminds me a lot of a lighter verison of geek maggot bingo with the cheap panted background. the puppets are Italian chef who is voiced by Peter van Hyning the shows Writer and there's baguette a french bread Voiced by Zachariah Durr another writer. There are some trippy effects like a tie dye puppet that tru makes a glowing tie dye cookie from she trips out after eating it.I became a Fan of this just after hearing about it I hope Thu Tran the other people involved do more projects I have heard of Thu's talent in cooking and prop designs that was used for the series.
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.
link367 This show is one of the most creative shows I've ever seen. The set is my favorite part because there is always something new or interesting to look at. For example, there is sometimes a rave going on in the freezer. The main character is a little strange at first but then you fall in love with her and her antics.There is sometimes a story but who cares about that. If you want a good story go watch HBO because its amazing. But Food Party is a show you can just watch and laugh at. This show has so much heart it reminds me of something Michel Gondry would do. I think this show would do better on a network like Cartoon network on adult swim.Go watch this show now!
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.
