Epic Food Journeys — National Geographic
A Webby Award-winning food series with Mark Wiens for Nat Geo — coming soon to Disney+.
The project
Epic Food Journeys follows Mark Wiens — one of the most-watched food travellers on the planet — in search of the dishes that define local cultures: 24-hour street food marathons in Bangkok and Lahore, foraging in remote Northern Thailand, the markets of Dakar and Mexico City.
We produce the series for National Geographic. It launched as a Nat Geo Original on YouTube, won a Webby Award in 2026, and is coming soon to Disney+.
What it takes
A series like this is a compressed masterclass in everything documentary production across the world demands: rapid multi-country logistics, local fixers and access, filming in kitchens, markets, jungles and fishing boats — and shaping unscripted footage into episodes that hold a global audience, to National Geographic’s editorial standard.
It’s also a talent-led format. Mark’s appetite (literal and otherwise) is the engine; our job is to build the world around it — story structure, locations, access and craft — without ever making it feel produced. The same discipline behind our Klook campaign applies: authenticity is the strategy, and the production has to disappear.
Watch
Two favourites are embedded below — the Bangkok 24-hour challenge and the Senegal food tour — with the full series on National Geographic’s YouTube channel and soon on Disney+.
Why it matters for your brand
Netflix carried our original series; National Geographic trusts us with theirs; Disney+ is next. When we say we produce branded documentaries and factual series at streamer standard, this is the standard we mean.
