“We are what we eat.” It’s a mantra that devours the relationship of two Brits who are first united by a love of food: Bex, a working-class Black waitress who knows the world isn’t her oyster, and prefers to slurp down Top Noodle than try the upscale delicacy. Then there’s her white girlfriend Lori, a chef with big dreams to fix up (read: gentrify) a humble chicken shack with high-concept, hard-to-pronounce fare. Soup’s not the only thing simmering; it’s got a powerful, hidden base of class, race, appropriation, family nostalgia, and righteousness. In the two-hander HUNGRY, opposites attract … but preparing meals with good intentions may be the very thing that poisons relationships.
