Off the Menu: Asian America

What exactly does food reflect about Asian Pacific Americans? Off the Menu: Asian America grapples with how family, tradition, faith, and geography shape our relationship to food. The program takes audiences on a journey from Texas to New York and from Wisconsin to Hawaii using our obsession with food as a launching point to delve into a wealth of stories, traditions, and unexpected characters that help nourish this nation of immigrants. Off the Menu is a roadtrip into the kitchens, factories, temples and farms of Asian Pacific America that explores how our relationship to food reflects our evolving community. The feature documentary by award-winning filmmaker Grace Lee (American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs) is co-produced by the Center for Asian American Media and KQED, with funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
