SEATTLE — A new Netflix children’s show blends puppets, famous chefs, world travel, humor, and a grocery store run by Michelle Obama.
Waffles + Mochi aims to teach kids about healthy food and life lessons, and its creators (including Obama, who also serves as executive producer) hope it has an impact worldwide. It will stream in more than 190 countries.
“It's going to be watched by millions and millions of children, millions of families, and all of us are going to be united by Waffles and Mochi, by Mrs. Obama, and food, and believing that longer tables will always win the day,” said Chef José Andrés, who makes an appearance in Ep. 1.
