Our reviews with Ho Chak! in Japan Team:
Episode 1: Ho Chak! in Japan Hamasho Japanese Restaurant
Good concept for a food and destination introductory program however the choice of hosts leaves much to be desired.
Gary is always too much over the top with his comments on his food tasting.
As for Orange, it’s really ridiculous to have a host who has limits to what she can eat! Whilst I respect the fact that she cannot eat beef, never have I seen a food show host having a limitation on their food!
A good food show host MUST be able to eat everything and anything, as that would give the audience a more comprehensive coverage of a country, culture and especially their food. So it’s ironic that Orange doesn’t eat beef and Gary doesn’t eat perilla.
Recommend that the Ho Chak Japan finds and uses host who would eat anything without taboo.
