The Extraordinary Foods and People of DR Congo

The One-Armed Chef is a travel and food show like no other, fronted by a host like no other. Giles Duley is a photographer, humanitarian and chef, and he indulges all of those passions in this documentary series. In it, he meets or reunites with people around the world who have lived through extraordinary struggles or experiences, and occasionally he just meets people making amazing food.

Absolute gem of a documentary. As a French, I have to say that the Italian chef, speaking perfect french with a thick italian accent and congolese intonation was one the WILDEST things I ever heared in my entire life. People are amazing !

[@TheGrreatDane]

I was about to write the same thing. Et je suis un congolais né à Montréal. Son accent m'a mis à l'envers loll

[@r3dsnow757]

Un accent très spécial!

[@TheMoimoitoitoi]

Accent très surprenant effectivement

[@newdesignconcepts4747]

To me as a Congolese chef I truly enjoyed this documentary. The Italian chef is emblematic of how our cultures are globalizing...Italian speaking french with a Congolese intonation blending congolese products into Italian cuisine. He is in Goma where most westerner would rather not be but yet he is thriving and changing the narrative!

[@selent2503]

His accent face and expressions are remarkable similar to the poet and genius in Asterix obelix & cleopatta movie played by Edouard Baer 😂

[@IKEMENOsakaman]

Congo foods are so underrated. There's a Congo cuisine restaurant near my apartment in NYC, and I LOVE it. Go there twice a week.

[@Mr1994Hmmm]

where is this restaurant? been looking

[@shalbec3232]

Thank you I guess we are a hated country and nation 😒🇨🇩❤💪🏿 it win we still love our nation and yes our food is underrated 😤

[@childofgod1306]

Very underrated. I see you have Osaka as your name. Osaka is actually a Congolese name❤️😁

[@ashleyt4982]

What is the name of the restaurant ?

[@PositiveContinentNews]

​@@shalbec3232you are not the most hated country, many people love your culture, like moi.

[@2plus8egal10]

The Africa you will never see on Western TV. Thank you Giles for your wonderful work. The DRC is an amazing place indeed with resilient people destined for greatness. I pray that the time will soon come when they will be able to benefit from their minerals and all the other resources that are abundant in this massive country!

[@Zayhir_thePrince]

The representation of Africa has definitely changed and became more positive over the years. I definitely think Black Panther created a wave

[@PositiveContinentNews]

I love Congolese people and culture, they are so eccentric! Also, let's no overlook the guy sharing his story of how he got disfigured in the Congo war, I have family members that survived war and the effects are horrible. I'm pro rehabilitation for war victims in the most holistic way possible ✊🏿.

[@lisaeischens2352]

Mama and all the children look so happy despite the difficulties they face. Is there a way to help these lovely people?

[@lisaeischens2352]

What a wonderful documentary. The Chef is such a kind man who has a real gift at lifting the spirits of beautiful people who have lived through trauma. His love of people through their food is so warm and genuine. If everyone had such a spirit of adventure and appreciation for life, the world would be so much better.

[@postefold]

How can we get details for donation to Mama Jeanne's work? This is a great piece and coverage on Congo - thank you Giles Duley and Vice team!

[@SunBurst821]

I agree

[@JayJangoz]

Same here hahaha... We all need to find mama Jeanne 💯❤️

[@kylawi2014]

[@shalbec3232]

[@SunBurst821]

Thank you for documenting my beautiful extraordinary country of CONGO! 💛

[@shalbec3232]

Vive la RDC 🇨🇩❤💪🏿

[@claytonk4138]

In São Paulo / Brazil, we have a vegan restaurant called Congolinaria. Which is commanded by a refugee chef named Picthou Luambo.

[@0urMutualFriend]

On my list to visit if I ever come to São Paulo, thanks for the rec!

[@2plus8egal10]

[@childofgod1306]

[@shanonbrown6170]

Such an informative documentary. Also, I didn't know I needed to hear an Italian speaking French before this video. Lovely all around.

[@timotejvislocky859]

Love this, my brother in law is Congolese I suppose its about time I start learning more about this incredible country, definitely hope to visit one day

[@gab.lab.martins]

I just realised why I watch these: because I fucking miss Anthony Bourdain.

[@aintmisbehavin7400]

Yup. But I suspect he'd approve and would enjoy having someone else do the work as well.

[@hioxd]

The Sapeurs are very interesting, and very very stylish. Interesting to see that they developed their own sense of style and fashion and it works out really well.

[@sarahjanesvideos]

WOW! What amazing people and charismatic characters! Absolutely fascinating. Real, heartfelt and moving. Brilliant series.

What Camera is that? The one he takes portraits with... it looks incredible

[@ChiefMaster94]

I think it could be a Hasselblad 500C or one of this series. The pictures look so good, but it´s a bit pricey as i´ve seen online.

[@JayJangoz]

Someone please Tag Mama Jeanne or her cousins details. She a living legend 💯❤️

[@jts1702a]

Democratic Republic (DR) of Congo. Back in the '90's, you might have remembered this country by the name of Zaire.

[@AS-jo8qh]

"they fled Rwanda and became militia" So they were no victims. They just met villains who beat their ass. Instead of being grateful to their host country they did this horrific crime

These people are making a fool of themselves. They're also deceiving themselves, thinking they're in heaven, that's not true, somebody needs to tell them the truth. They're lost but they don't know that, because nobody helps them open their eyes. They live in confusion

@@ikennedy609 no its nit a cultural thing. Its because of lice. Easier to maintain

[@faye6579]

Lice is one reason but from at least what happened to me and my friends. All our hair was cut at a certain age “to grow properly”. We then grew it back and kept it. But some people cut it because it’s easier to manage and hair is really time consuming and expensive to manage.
