Fresh, Fried and Crispy (2021)
Solid concept, Daym wants to make it about himself

I enjoy the concept of exploring fried food. But Daym is a bit of a turnoff. He should let the chefs and their food be the star. He does that to a degree, then pulls the spotlight squarely back onto himself. Ugh. I suspect this is part of his YouTube origin, but it doesn't work for hosted TV.
I don't even mind that he's not 100% a fan of everything. But, for example, taking lettuce and heirloom tomato off a sandwich a chef just gave you and throwing it onto the floor? Totally disrespectful, and in no way clever.
5 stars--for the food and the chefs; they are pretty great.
If this gets a 2nd season, maybe Daym can dial it back.
