OTR Food & History

@otrontheroad

About

The story of food is the story of people. And our mission on OTR is to document the dishes, recipes, and chefs that push boundaries, preserve old traditions, and most of all, deserve to be recorded. From our home in Bangkok, OTR is following the road wherever it leads, as we unwind the stories of what today is called "cuisine"- because when it comes to food, our shared history unfolds on every single plate.

Video Description

From the Isaan plateau to the Malay peninsula, from breakfast time to late at night, in Thailand, fried chicken is everywhere. It's everyone's favorite comfort food and here- you can find it in old family recipes, fast food stands, and from creative modern chefs. This week, we’ll examine the traditions of the many different recipes, the iconic fried chicken dishes, and the incredible history of the dish that first begins- of all places- in Thailand, where the ancestors of today’s chickens were first domesticated more than 8000 years ago. - Please consider supporting OTR on Patreon and thanks so much to anyone who does; your support truly keeps us going.
