Apple TV subscribers can now stream the first two episodes of the platform’s new unscripted food series, ‘Awkwafina: The Unlikely Cook.’ Watch the trailer below.

Defined by Apple TV as its newest “culinary adventure” show, ‘Awkwafina: The Unlikely Cook’ is now streaming on the platform.

Starring and executive-produced by Emmy-winning actor and comedian Nora Lum, aka Awkwafina (The Farewell), the show will run for eight episodes through December 18, and it will feature “acclaimed chefs, restaurateurs and her characterful family.”

In the series, Nora embarks on a deeply personal cross-country journey as she explores contemporary Asian American cuisine, starting with her family’s remarkable legacy. Nora’s family ran Lum’s, the iconic Cantonese restaurant in Flushing, New York, and the very first in a now thriving Chinatown. But despite growing up in the family business, she can’t cook. At all. She could ruin an instant ramen. (…) With help from acclaimed chefs, restaurateurs and her characterful family, she travels the country to explore what it takes to master Asian food in the kitchen and whether she will ultimately reimagine Lum’s legacy for today.

‘Awkwafina: The Unlikely Cook’ joins Apple TV’s growing catalog of food-centric shows, including ‘Omnivore’ and ‘Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars.’ It also marks the second collaboration between Apple TV and production company Twofour, following the Emmy-nominated travel series ‘The Reluctant Traveler With Eugene Levy.’
