Animal, one of those culture blogs the kids are so fond of these days, came out with a food-centric video series last fall. They called it Animals Eating Animals.
It was surprisingly good to watch. Surprising because I'm not usually a huge fan of Animal's content. Suppose I'm not really the target market.
As a series it's not perfect. Even though they're going to different places it doesn't seem like there's any growth. There's no real message other than "look at these cool/interesting places we ate food at!" Which would be fine in a world that doesn't have Bourdain's excellent output.
But our world does have Bourdain. So we have come to expect more from our food shows. At least I have. And Animals Eating Animals fails on there.
That said, perfection isn't necessarily the expectation of a free web series. Certainly not a web series about two regular--if not hipstery--guys checking out different restaurants in New York City.
Over all the series is well shot, well edited, well scored. The editing and graphics make me happy because they're in that style that's in-vogue but hasen't been too overused, yet.
So if you have a little under an hour to kill it would make an excellent series to watch.
(Oh, and I wouldn't advise watching them if you're hungry. That's just not smart.)
