Of the 120 full-length food documentaries OTR has produced, 98 have been taped at least partially in Bangkok. But what you see in a video about history or geopolitics doesn't always represent how we actually live in the city, and what we eat when the cameras stop rolling. For our anniversary video, Daria is bringing us along to some of her favorite places, as we explore our own stories, the history of this channel, and why it could have only happened here.

![How The World Became Spicy (In Only 20 Years)
It all started with a simple question- when did Thai food become spicy?
From there, we did our best to find an answer thats never before been properly explained, unraveling the entire story of the post-Columbian spice trade, taking us to the ports of southern Africa, the kitchens of Gujarat, and the central Asian plateau as we follow the written, genetic, and linguistic history of the humble chili from the New World to the Far East.
This is our attempt at telling the story of the history of the chili pepper: historys spiciest conquest.
