This new series is just spectacular for the young and the young at heart. From their unique origin story to their many escapades learning about ingredients and recipes, Waffles and Mochi are adorable tributes to the fine art of puppetry and storytelling for children. Michelle Obama's rooftop hangout over her grocery store where Waffles and Mochi begin and end each adventure feels a lot like Hooper's store in the original Sesame Street series or a scene from Mister Rogers Neighborhood, and Michelle has clearly found a new calling here as actress in a children's show. She is lovely. The writing is so creative, and the many growers, chefs, and other professionals featured in each episode explain about the featured ingredient and how they grow, produce, and use it. There is so much wholesome learning here, such as an adorable workshop on making pickles, or even just complete silliness, such as a Queer Eye makeover for a potato. Kudos to all involved in making this series, and I hope it will be renewed for many seasons to come. Don't miss this!!!
