If you haven't seen Food Party yet, you're missing out. Ridiculously cute and beyond strange, this I.F.C. show is an experience to say the least. "It's like wandering into a deranged toddler's LSD trip" is how Bust Magazine's Emily McCombs describes it, and we couldn't put it an better ourselves. Food Party's hostess Thu Tran and crew actually hand make all of the sets and props, which are a sight to see all on their own. The show starts its second season this month.
