VICE MUNChIES - The INCREDILE EDIBLES
“Incredible Edibles” is a show about the world’s most incredible people, making the world’s most incredible edibles.
In these pilot episodes, we follow producer and host Vanessa Lavorato on her journey through Thailand to meet local cannabis legends, discover local entrepreneurs and learn how to cook their favorite food.
EP2 - COOKING “GREEN” CURRY WITH THAILAND’S GANJA GODFATHER
In the second episode of Incredible Edibles, Vanessa Lavorato meets Thailand's "Father of Cannabis," Ko Dam, a.k.a. Mr. KD. From using cannabis roots for medicinal purposes to advocating for the legalization of weed in Thailand, KD has had a significant influence on the adoption of weed in the country. We visit him in Ko Tao, an island in the Gulf of Thailand, to cook a home-grown weed infused meal, including jackfruit curry and mung bean pudding, and see some of the ways he makes full use of his cannabis plants.
EP1 - COOKING SPAGHETTI WITH BANGKOK’s EDIBLES INNOVATORS
In the first episode of Incredible Edibles, Vanessa travels an hour outside of Bangkok to visit the headquarters of Flip Flower — a Thai-based edibles company with a menu of sweet Thai desserts founded by baker “Ice” and her cultivator boyfriend “Win”, with a little help from their friend and dealer “Ti”. Win and Ti explain the new reality of edibles in Thailand, how life has changed since legalization, and Ice makes a cannabis infused spaghetti & “kanom pia,” her signature salted egg yolk mooncakes. Vanessa also meets the couples pet tarantulas and a bearded dragon named “faktong” which means “pumpkin” in Thai.
EP3 - THAILAND’S CANNABIS INFUSED MOONSHINE
In the third episode of Incredible Edibles, creator and host Vanessa Lavorato tries some of the more interesting weed-infused dishes in Thailand, including cannabis moonshine and weed frogs. Vanessa heads to Hat Yai to meet up with Nan at his restaurant, 'Hit the Pot, Bang the Wok'. While there, she cooks and tries some specialties on the menu: weed-infused honey, a delicious fish curry, and cannabis-infused moonshine. The night is rounded off with some fried frogs and a whole chicken cooked in a fire-pit.
