Production

Prior to its release, Thitipoom Techaapaikhun (New) revealed that the original title of the web series was "นิวหิว" (RTGS: Niw Hiw, lit. transl. Hungry New) where he goes to different restaurants and talk about their food offerings. While shooting the first episode, he felt that it was too bland that he needed someone to talk about the food's calories or ingredients. He then invited Tawan Vihokratana (Tay) to be his guest on the first episode's shooting and as soon as the editing was done, the producers decided to make it the pair's program with the title "กินกัน กับ เต - นิว" (RTGS: Kinkan Kap Tay - Niw).^[3]
