One of the biggest men in the business, Action Bronson loves his food. He loves his food so much he has his own food show with Vice's Munchies where they follow him as he tours and record the various places he eats at the food he devours.
The proud New Yorker was at one time a chef, a talent he discusses at length, including this interview with Ask Men, and now takes that passion with him on the road where he tries as many different foods as possible from all the different countries he visited. As a prominent touring musician, he is blessed with the opportunity to play in front of large adoring crowds by night and then go try out some amazing food during the day from big name restaurants and also under the radar, holes in the wall that still deserve the spotlight.
In this episode we follow him on his travels in Europe and Chicago, as he starts out in Venice eating some fine crustaceans and pasta before slowly meandering around the city in a gondola captained by a weed smoking aspiring rapper — the perfect man to accompany Action Bronson on his voyage.
He then heads to Copenhagen to continue his eating frenzy where he heads to one the most famous restaurants in the world, Noma, and explores the finer foods on the menu, before eating barbeque at Amass, a club that serves some quality food according to our food critic AB. Then he heads to the Windy City, where he tastes every single item on Hot Doug's menu and finishes out with a meal with guest star Riff Raff, because nothing is complete without Riff Raff. The most awkward moment of the episode is where he goes to former player and coach of the Chicago Bears Mike Ditka's restaurant and enjoys a fine meal with the coach who seems all too unamused by who Action Bronson is and what he is doing there.
