From Houston\, Texas to New York’s Lower East Side\, from Oak Creek\, Wisconsin to Oahu\, Hawaii\, Lee seeks stories that reflect an evolving Asian America. The focus on food serves as a way to explore the deeper connections of culture\, family\, and ideas of authenticity and adaptation that link all Asian Americans. The film takes us on a cultural journey with thoughtful observations of how traditions around the preparation\, sharing and creation of meals bring people and communities together. Lee samples the warm hospitality of a Wisconsin Sikh temple’s feast\, checks out the empire of a self-made Texan “sushi king\,” and the innovations of a young Manhattan fusion chef. In doing so\, she proves the way to the heart of any Asian American community is definitely through its stomach! \nMORE INFORMATION \nThis screening of Off the Menu is part of the 20th Annual Asian American Showcase at the Gene Siskel Film Center of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
