Note: As the show name suggests, yep, you will hear plenty of profanities tossed around while watching Action and co.
Action Bronson is a sybaritic monster. His appetites for life are as enormous as his personality, whether he’s stuffing in international delicacies, smoking himself blind or rapping about food in front of adoring hordes. F*ck, That’s Delicious (starting Monday 8.30pm on SBS VICELAND and then on ) presents the man in unfiltered form. The TV show was preceded by two seasons of web-only episodes, so there's plenty of eating, swearing, drinking and smoking going on as Action and his mates over-eat their way around America, and the world.
Here are five of his most memorable moments spent in pursuit of fresh culinary experiences.
Tackling the munchies in the Big Apple
A four-night tour of New York’s finest eateries (watch the web-episode , or below) sees Action and his mate Big Body Bes eternally stoned in the back of a cab. They visit all the big haunts – TaiPan Fusion for Chinese halal, enormous Dominican hamburgers from a street vendor, the best pizza from Best Pizza – but things really heat up at Mikey Likes It, where the boys combine deep-fried Oreos from one shop, fried sweet plaintains from another, freshly whipped cream and Mikey’s mint-chocolate ice-cream for a late-night sundae that looks like a stoner’s wet dream.
Action loves Jamaican fooooooooood
The NyamJam festival is a cavalcade of Jamaican food prepared by local chefs who know what they’re doing with hot sauces – even the chicken sandwiches are enough to bring a tear to Action’s eye (catch the episode Monday 12 December, 8.30pm, on SBS Viceland). But it isn’t his high praise at the actual event that earns this entry its place on the list. As soon as Action arrives back to New York from Jamaica, he buys himself a cow-foot stew to eat off the bonnet of a car in the car park of a hardware store. Oh, and then he yells “I LOVE JAMAICAN FOOOOOD!” at the top of his lungs.
Getting baked... with clams

In a seafood-heavy trip to Washington, Action heads to Mothership Glass to build a custom-made glass bong. But before he uses it for recreational activities, he stuffs the pipe with clams and other ingredients to make an impressive stew that will no doubt come in handy later, when he’s craving something to snack upon. (Catch the episode Monday 21 November, 8.30pm, on SBS Viceland)
The unofficial hot dog eating contest
Flying back to Chicago from Copenhagen, Action hears the legendary Hot Doug’s is closing down, so he lines up for four hours to order every single item on the menu (watch the web-episode , or below). He and Meyhem sit at a rooftop table with a stack of 15 paper-wrapped gourmet hot dogs – featuring everything from cassoulet to escargot – and methodically work their way through them. Action even stuffs in some duck-fat fries, too.
There's pain involved as the tables are turned
When Action gets invited to take the Hot Ones challenge (hot wings, hot questions), it starts off easy ... and then things heat up as he chows down on the hot stuff while talking aliens, Mario Batali's orange crocs and Action's Instagram posts.
F*ck That's Delicious screens Mondays 8.30pm on SBS Viceland, and is then available on .
