Rude Food by Vir Sanghvi: Stream, pause, taste, think

Rene Redzepi’s Noma has no permanent location or menu. Everywhere it sets up shop, it’s a new experience. How does the TV show, Omnivore, capture it all?

Until you actually go and see it up close, it is hard to understand how Copenhagen’s Noma, often regarded as the world’s most influential restaurant, is so different from other restaurants.

Chef Rene Redzepi has taken Noma to Tokyo, Sydney, Mexico and Kyoto.

At Noma, there are no signature dishes. The menu, which reflects a theme, is changed every few months.

Whenever Noma moves to a new location, its menu is upgraded based on local ingredients.

Omnivore is a visually glorious show, shot like a nature documentary.

Redzepi partnered with food writer Matt Goulding for the script of the show.

Though Redzepi is a global icon, he insisted that the show focus on the food and not on him.
