Seen & Reviewed: Apple TV’s Awkwafina: The Unlikely Cook Has the Ingredients but Needs More Time in the Kitchen

Apple TV’s Awkwafina: The Unlikely Cook delivers an entertaining mix of food, culture, family history, and Awkwafina’s natural personality, but our first impression suggests the series still needs a stronger balance between comedy and the realities of learning to cook. The cultural storytelling and culinary professionals give the show real promise, while the cooking process sometimes moves too quickly to fully show the difficulty, repetition, and technique involved. Chris & Will give their first impression 8 out of 10 smiles. Now playing on Apple TV.

From learning why some rescued birds cannot return to the wild to participating in a personal eagle feeding experience, the visit offered a deeper understanding of America’s national symbol and the importance of protecting birds of prey. While the long walk to the aviaries could be better integrated into the experience, the beautiful Smoky Mountain setting, knowledgeable staff, and conservation message made the visit well worth planning.
