what it is.
The show.
A Netflix live-action series featuring puppet characters Waffles and Mochi, who travel the world learning about food and cooking with the help of their friend Mrs. Obama (Michelle Obama). The show explores ingredients, cultures, and recipes. Aimed at ages 3–7.
our take
“The food education and cultural exploration are genuinely valuable, and Michelle Obama brings warmth to every segment. It lands in the D range because the format is fast-paced with rapid location changes, the mix of puppetry, live-action, and travel footage creates a lot of visual stimulation, and the editing style doesn't support the sustained attention we prioritize in our rubric.”
