Food & Wine's Editorial Guidelines Updated on April 30, 2019 Photo: Martin Westlake/Netflix In case you missed it, Netflix dropped a new food-centric docuseries on April 26 called Street Food, from the makers of Chef's Table. It's a celebration of different street food dishes and traditions around the world—and season one takes us to Asia, stopping at nine cities along the way. Among dozens of other dishes, viewers will see Nilarang Bakasi (soured stew with reef eel) in Cebu City; drunken noodles in Singapore; and Nihari (buffalo stew) in Delhi that's so popular, people line up for hours to get a taste. "One of the things that was really important for us was that we wanted to make sure we were getting local input, and to learn from the people in each city—where should we be looking?" Brian McGinn, one of the show's co-creators, told Food & Wine. Many of the vendors featured have dedicated 40, 50, even 60 years of their life to perfecting one dish—so you know it's good. Street Food visits at least two-three people in each city, not only highlighting their specialty foods, but also delving into their backstory and how they got into the business. We've combed through to list all the vendors profiled in season one, in case you're tempted to make a road trip out of it and try them all (we certainly are).
