Food Party is a mind-bending, non-reality cooking show with Thu Tran as your hostess, a cast of unruly puppets as culinary aides, and a cavalcade of fictitious celebrities as surprise dinner guests. Shot on location in a technicolor cardboard kitchen as well as other foreign and exotic cardboard locations, each episode will or will not instruct you on how to prepare wild gourmet multi-course meals with ingredients you probably have on hand in your kitchen already, such as pretzel rods, eggs, narwhal lungs, bizarre plot twists, secret ingredients, and pizza. After all, you never know who might show up for dinner.

I think there were hallucinogenics in my veggie burger, because I saw your show & there was a spaceship powered by 8 turkeys prepared 8 different ways. Then I rolled on the floor with my sausage dog, and I realized that my very own trash can was a spaceship.
Thanks for all that. I’m hungry now. I put some mustard and pepper in my granola. I tried putting swiss cheese on it, but it keeps falling through the holes.

we found food party by accident one night and our lives are forever changed. loooooove this show. thu you are amazingly funny, and the sets are gorgeous. it’s like pee wee’s playhouse in a lot of ways — only a cooking show. on the Nosferathu episode, there is a picture on the refrigerator and i would swear it is a photo of my sister from the early 70s. anyway — thank you for being so awesome. truly brilliant.

Just stumbled across your show, my introduction to Food Party was ‘Ad Lib Episode’, featuring White Husband. Making cat milk flan, genius. Immediately DVR’d all episodes to tape now and forever.

they felt fine after that. On the flip side, there are many raw foodaders who don’t have any probadlems at all and expeadriadence exploadsive levadels of health and vtliiaty. I’m a big believer in experadiadmentading careadfully with our own health and nutriadtion. Too many experts out there makading great arguadments on both sides of the issue all backed up by iron clad eviaddence leaves me conadfused. I choose to stay mostly “naive” about the advice of most experts and instead, I preadfer to conadsciously try things out for myself. Good luck and I hope you write about your experadiadment, I would love to check ita0out. ~Mike
