Fresh Off the Boat With Eddie Huang: Season 2 Bloopers And Outtakes (Video)
Like N.O.R.E. told you, “Mistakes is what makes things perfect.” – Eddie Huang
Well, would you look at that. Bonus footage… well, leftovers… from the freshly wrapped Season 2 of Fresh Off the Boat With Eddie Huang. Great Vice programming; and the boss (Shane Smith) even shows up in the clips above. If you’ve watched the episodes we’ve posted, you probably got a feel that Eddie is a balance of cool and kooky. Watch above and see how right you are.
Fresh Off the Boat With Eddie Huang: Chengdu (Video)
Part 1, Fresh Off The Boat in Chengdu, Eddie (a.k.a. the Human Panda) is at home with his ‘interracial’ fam (e.g. black and white pandas). Talking about and watching pandas. Don’t forget about the panda porn, either (what? yeah). Trekking Chengdu with Eddie and DJ SuperBestFriend (a.k.a. Rabbi), we experience traditions, food and culture… much of which is diminishing as time passes. After the jump, part 2 picks up with Eddie enjoying the fine Chinese living – chilling in the Dead Sea Resort, taking a refreshing salt burial, a dip in a big (translation: crowded) swimming pool, and later tasting on some baby pig penis (what? yeah). Then part 3 wraps with an exploration of Chengdu culture going forward: a look at Szechuan cooking from a master chef, a visit to the sculpture factory of a feature artist, a climb into a tree-house parlor for Taiwanese tea, and a round table discussion with different generations of Chinese to discuss cultural preservation as China moves forward and becomes open to the rest of the world.
Fantastic episode! Well worth the watch, as usual.
Fresh Off The Boat: NYC (Video)
A three-parter following Eddie Huang (eh hem.. sitcom producer and chef Eddie to you) around one of the capitals of the world, New York City (NYC, USA). We start with some good eatin’ then go hang with Loopy (known for his Knicks rant on the ‘Net) in the Bronx. That’s Part 1 above. Continue after the jump with Parts 2 and 3.
Fresh Off The Boat: Moscow (Video)
“…in Russia, n*gger is just how they say ‘Black’…”
WHAT??? Aw helllll no! But wait, Eddie Huang has not failed yet to teach on his travels. So, let’s watch this three-parter of VICE’s Fresh Off The Boat; starting above. In part one, Eddie takes a shot of real Russian vodka, eats a real “communist dog” and chats up a real Black Russian (so to speak). In part two, Eddie goes deeper into Russian culture: learns what it was like to live under Soviet rule, moving forward to understand the issues that connect all people regardless of where they live. Wrapping with the part three of the Moscow episode, Eddie lives it up on $400 caviar, racing in a Russian street car, massages from babes in bikinis. You know, just Eddie doing Eddie.
Alright. This ep is worth the watch. See parts two and three after the jump.
Fresh Off The Boat With Eddie Huang: Miami (Video)
Eddie Huang’s interesting food & travel based program “Fresh Off The Boat With Eddie Huang” has had a very good first season with VICE. In this final season episode of the show Eddie takes his talents BEYOND the glitzy lights of South Beach & ventures into the neighborhoods for the best restaurants & food tourists overlook when visiting Miami. True to the mission of his show Eddie stays off the beaten path by spending time with the porn industry’s “World Famous” Bang Bros team & adult film star Jada Stevens, enjoys some time with the unofficial Mayor of Miami Uncle Luke, hits Little Haiti to enjoy some authentic Haitian cuisine, & enjoys a Miami Dolphins tailgate. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect for Eddie & his producers at VICE to release this Miami edition of the show while the city has been enjoying the success of another Miami Heat NBA Championship run & wins being posted by the nationally ranked University of Miami Hurricanes basketball team. Overall it’s a good look all around. This episode is in three parts so check out Parts 2 & 3 after the jump….
