A first glimpse at Always Be My Maybe
Here’s the teaser trailer for Always Be My Maybe, the new Netflix rom-com “from the fertile mind of Ali Wong” about a San Francisco celebrity chef named Sasha (played by Wong) who starts up a relationship with her childhood friend Marcus (Randall Park). In the clip, the two old friends reunite at a farmer’s market and discuss Sasha’s recent romantic fling that gave her “after-shakes from the window to the wall.” Wong and Park wrote the script along with Michael Golamco, and the movie is directed by Fresh Off the Boat veteran Nahnatchka Khan. Always Be My Maybe is slated to land on Netflix on May 31 and it will also be released in a limited number of theaters.
And in other news...
- The World’s 50 Best group has decided to give its problematic Best Female Chef award to Daniela Soto-Innes of Cosme and Atla in NYC. The award was celebrated at an event in NYC last night, and per an Eater staffer, Soto-Innes “was very excited and happy to have the platform to show that young chefs can have good new ideas.” Cosme currently sits at number 25 on the World’s 50 Best list, but in previous years this organization has given this particular award to chefs like Clare Smyth and Dominique Crenn whose establishments did not make the cut. For more on why this award is sexist and insulting, read Eater EIC Amanda Kludt’s take on the accolade. [@worlds50best]
