Even if you’re not into food, you probably know who David Chang is. The Korean American chef behind the Momofuku empire of restaurants arrived on the scene in New York in 2004, both middle fingers raised to anything that represented the establishment. He made rakish beauty of the humble pork bun and ramen in a minimalist East Village space that was soon imitated around the world. Chang didn’t invent the cliché of the bad-boy chef, but he checked off plenty of the key qualities: He cursed a blue streak in interviews.

Oscar-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville has been keeping one eye on the box office of late, and another eye on the Emmy race.
The director’s latest documentary, Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, expanded to 96 screens over the past weekend, collecting over $1 million, according to audience measurement firm comScore. The film focuses on the late children’s television pioneer Fred Rogers and his message of inclusion, decency and mutual respect.
“I wanted to make a film about why we need to talk about these issues today,” Neville tells Deadline. “Can we at least agree on the basic principles of what kind of neighborhood we want to have and how we should treat each other?”
A different set of questions emerges in the Netflix documentary program Neville has in the running for Emmy consideration right now, the food and travel-themed series Ugly Delicious. In each episode chef and restaurateur David Chang...

Chef and restaurateur David Chang has a way with words. His Momofuku culinary brand was named after the Japanese words for “lucky peach” with a nod to ramen inventor Momofuku Ando. But Chang has also acknowledged that it’s no accident that Momofuku sounds very similar to “motherfucker.”
Contained in that auspicious, delicious, and mischievous moniker are clues of what to expect in his Netflix food series with its own colorful name, “Ugly Delicious.” While each of the eight episodes focuses on one specific comfort food such as pizza or fried chicken, the series examines far more than just plating and recipes. The spotlight dish also serves as a tasty vehicle by which to examine historical and social issues, and hopefully build bridges across politics and continents.
