I was expecting a show about traditional street food from different countries, instead it turned into a show exclusively about how people became street food sellers.
In every episode you have a "main story" about someone that for some reason is elevated on the plot, compared to all the other street food sellers. Moreover, the episode tell more about that street food made by him, rather than all the other street food. The space reserved to food is ridiculously small with just a bunch of Instagram photos at the end of every episode.
If the show was called "Life of a Street Food Seller" then it would be an good show. From the episode about Taiwan, all the episodes become the same as if they were all shot in the same place: not enough characterization of the environment, almost zero presentation of the streets and of what characterizes every country (and street food) and what differentiate it from others.
To know street food it's probably better watching Jamie Oliver's shows.
