  • Bao is a beautifully animated, thematically mature, subtle and nuanced portrait of the human condition - in other words, it's a Pixar production. To celebrate the Oscars this coming weekend, let's dive into the director's mom's own recipe, as we attempt to recreate a food so delicious, you'll want to raise it as your own until it tries to leave you and you eat it.

    It's unfortunate that the genius of the name "Bao" is not often appreciated. Due to the limitations of Chinese-English translations, Bao can mean buns, baby, treasure, or to protect.

    I love your dedication to your craft. We all make small mistakes when trying something new, and that's how we learn the right way to do it. A lot of people would probably cut out their less than perfect first attempts, to try and create the illusion that they knew all the little tips and tricks right from the get-go, but you leave them in. You let us experience those small disappointments with you, and that makes seeing you nailing it in your next attempts so much more satisfying.

He might be able to cook, but I am not sure what exactly he would bring to a show like this. Like, maybe they could try to make gourmet versions of MRE meals, but most MRE food is already semi-gourmet. It just loses flavor in the preservation.
