It's far too large and blurry at the walls, which are dim and milky white. The table in front of me comes into focus, along with my grandmother's hands. She is making tortillas, flattening balls of dough with a rolling pin and then quickly transferring a disc of flour and lard from hand to hand before depositing it on a hot plancha. The finished tortilla lands in front of me. My little hands bring it to my mouth as the memory fades. Before disappearing, this brief image has communicated volumes about who I am and where I come from. It is my family's immigrant experience encapsulated in a single tortilla, passed from my grandmother's hands, which repeated these gestures countless times over the decades, preparing the staple that nourished her ten children and, when we were lucky, their children as well. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As 88-year-old Eva Hashiguchi prepares the many dishes that populate her annual Japanese New Year party, I couldn't help but flash on the above image of my own grandmother. These rituals are about more than just the acquisition and combination of ingredients, they are a complicated dance that involves the whole body in the offering. In Matthew Hashiguchi's film, \u003cem>Good Luck Soup\u003c/em>, which takes its name from the centerpiece dish of Eva's annual family celebration, this meal is the site of more than just cooking and eating. Matthew and his extended family have been sustained by their matriarch's relentless positivity, but also shaped by a defining trauma without which their family may never have come into existence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_115583\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Roy-Choi-3-Photo-Credit-Travis-Jensen-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Chef Roy Choi\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-115583\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Roy-Choi-3-Photo-Credit-Travis-Jensen-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Roy-Choi-3-Photo-Credit-Travis-Jensen-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Roy-Choi-3-Photo-Credit-Travis-Jensen-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Roy-Choi-3-Photo-Credit-Travis-Jensen-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Roy-Choi-3-Photo-Credit-Travis-Jensen-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Roy-Choi-3-Photo-Credit-Travis-Jensen-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Roy-Choi-3-Photo-Credit-Travis-Jensen-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Roy-Choi-3-Photo-Credit-Travis-Jensen-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Roy-Choi-3-Photo-Credit-Travis-Jensen-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chef Roy Choi \u003ccite>(Travis Jensen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.goodlucksoupfilm.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Good Luck Soup\u003c/em>\u003c/a> is one of just a few food-related films screening at this year's 35th annual \u003ca href=\"http://caamfest.com/2017/\" target=\"_blank\">CAAMFest\u003c/a>, put on by the Center for Asian American Media, which runs March 9-19, 2017 and features 113 films from around the globe at various Bay Area locations. As usual, the festival is kicked off by the \u003ca href=\"http://caamfest.com/2017/section/caamfeast/\" target=\"_blank\">CAAMFeast\u003c/a>, a celebration of Asian American culinary achievement on March 4, 2017. Each year, the Feast acknowledges the contributions of a trio of chefs and food organizations. This year, alongside the Asian Chefs Association and People's Kitchen Collective, the feast honors chef Roy Choi, whose Kogi fleet of L.A.-based Korean taco trucks is credited with kicking off the current food truck phenomenon. Choi's signature Korean BBQ taco is a quintessentially Los Angeles invention, famously representing the city's diversity through taste and giving voice to a certain part of the immigration experience. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CAAMFeast annually celebrates the centrality of cuisine to culture and identity. This year's food-related selections elaborate the complicated issues surrounding the immigrant experience, taking on added relevance in the current political climate. The kitchen is so often the site where individual flair meets family tradition. Flavors melt but remain distinct. Immigrants may arrive and assimilate other aspects of their original cultures, but taste persists. Food defines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/azE0SSHFcmI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://caamfest.com/2017/films/good-luck-soup/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Good Luck Soup\u003c/em>\u003c/a> (March 18) begins with a startling admission; the filmmaker remembers yelling \"I don't want to be Japanese\" at his Japanese-American father. As a mixed-race kid growing up in an Irish Catholic neighborhood in Cleveland, Ohio, Hashiguchi felt intense pressure to assimilate. He and his siblings recount the constant requests for definition their looks, their culture and their name inspired. His family belonged to a tight-knit enclave of American citizens of Japanese descent that formed shortly after World War II, when they were released from the infamous internment camps. It is this trauma that worries Eva's progeny. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_115581\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Good_Luck_Soup_2-1020x1519.jpg\" alt=\"Still from Good Luck Soup\" width=\"640\" height=\"953\" class=\"size-large wp-image-115581\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Good_Luck_Soup_2-1020x1519.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Good_Luck_Soup_2-160x238.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Good_Luck_Soup_2-800x1191.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Good_Luck_Soup_2-768x1143.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Good_Luck_Soup_2-960x1429.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Good_Luck_Soup_2-240x357.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Good_Luck_Soup_2-375x558.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Good_Luck_Soup_2-520x774.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Good_Luck_Soup_2.jpg 1162w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Still from Good Luck Soup\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Eva is an American citizen, born in Florin, CA to Japanese immigrants. She and her family lost their fruit farm and were interned by the United States government shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. She spent her teenage years in the camps, where she also met her future husband. While Eva freely shares her experiences from that period, she lived her life determined not to let this deep betrayal limit or define her. If anything, the internment clarified many aspects of the American experience for Eva and redoubled her commitment to celebrate her Japanese heritage. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eva's three children married non-Japanese men and women. Today, her grandchildren struggle with their heritage and wonder what will happen when 88-year-old Eva no longer prepares that annual bowl of good luck soup. The film is a heartfelt and personal exploration of what it means to be American, using the preparation of an annual meal to reveal the complicated issues of immigration, race, heritage and assimilation, while exploring the lasting impact of a great injustice the U.S. government committed against a group of its own citizens. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_115582\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Eat_Chinatown_1-1020x574.jpg\" alt=\"Still from Sunday Dinner\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"size-large wp-image-115582\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Eat_Chinatown_1-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Eat_Chinatown_1-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Eat_Chinatown_1-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Eat_Chinatown_1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Eat_Chinatown_1-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Eat_Chinatown_1-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Eat_Chinatown_1-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Eat_Chinatown_1-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Eat_Chinatown_1-520x292.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Still from Sunday Dinner\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://caamfest.com/2017/films/sunday-dinner/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Sunday Dinner\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, a short included in the program \u003ca href=\"http://caamfest.com/2017/events/eat-chinatown/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Eat Chinatown\u003c/em>\u003c/a> (March 11) provides an interesting contrast. The film is a loving portrait of a patriarch's prep for his weekly family sit-down.

Both Choi's parents are from Korea, his mother from the north, his father from the south. His family arrived in California when Choi was two years old. Their entrepreneurial adventure included selling jars of his mother's homemade kimchee out of the trunk of the family car. Choi describes her as having \"flavor in her fingertips,\" a quality he obviously inherited. The family ran several businesses, including a Korean restaurant in Anaheim, CA, which launched and failed during a formative period for Choi. Later, his parents would make their fortune in the jewelry business and move into an upscale suburb in Orange County. Choi's misspent youth, which included some famous addictions -- to drugs, milkshakes, and gambling -- and time spent as a low-rider in Norwalk, is well documented in his memoir/cookbook \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/L-Son-Life-City/dp/0062202634\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>L.A. Son: My Life, My City, My Food\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. He runs a fleet of food trucks and has opened several restaurants across Los Angeles, but his main accomplishment seems to be synthesizing the flavors of his Korean roots with the Mexican street foods of his youth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Innovation is powerfully connected to diversity, which cannot be separated from the global circulation of influences and populations.

It is my family's immigrant experience encapsulated in a single tortilla, passed from my grandmother's hands, which repeated these gestures countless times over the decades, preparing the staple that nourished her ten children and, when we were lucky, their children as well. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As 88-year-old Eva Hashiguchi prepares the many dishes that populate her annual Japanese New Year party, I couldn't help but flash on the above image of my own grandmother. These rituals are about more than just the acquisition and combination of ingredients, they are a complicated dance that involves the whole body in the offering. In Matthew Hashiguchi's film, \u003cem>Good Luck Soup\u003c/em>, which takes its name from the centerpiece dish of Eva's annual family celebration, this meal is the site of more than just cooking and eating. Matthew and his extended family have been sustained by their matriarch's relentless positivity, but also shaped by a defining trauma without which their family may never have come into existence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_115583\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Roy-Choi-3-Photo-Credit-Travis-Jensen-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Chef Roy Choi\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-115583\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Roy-Choi-3-Photo-Credit-Travis-Jensen-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Roy-Choi-3-Photo-Credit-Travis-Jensen-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Roy-Choi-3-Photo-Credit-Travis-Jensen-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Roy-Choi-3-Photo-Credit-Travis-Jensen-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Roy-Choi-3-Photo-Credit-Travis-Jensen-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Roy-Choi-3-Photo-Credit-Travis-Jensen-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Roy-Choi-3-Photo-Credit-Travis-Jensen-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Roy-Choi-3-Photo-Credit-Travis-Jensen-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/02/Roy-Choi-3-Photo-Credit-Travis-Jensen-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chef Roy Choi \u003ccite>(Travis Jensen)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.goodlucksoupfilm.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Good Luck Soup\u003c/em>\u003c/a> is one of just a few food-related films screening at this year's 35th annual \u003ca href=\"http://caamfest.com/2017/\" target=\"_blank\">CAAMFest\u003c/a>, put on by the Center for Asian American Media, which runs March 9-19, 2017 and features 113 films from around the globe at various Bay Area locations.

This year, alongside the Asian Chefs Association and People's Kitchen Collective, the feast honors chef Roy Choi, whose Kogi fleet of L.A.-based Korean taco trucks is credited with kicking off the current food truck phenomenon. Choi's signature Korean BBQ taco is a quintessentially Los Angeles invention, famously representing the city's diversity through taste and giving voice to a certain part of the immigration experience. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CAAMFeast annually celebrates the centrality of cuisine to culture and identity. This year's food-related selections elaborate the complicated issues surrounding the immigrant experience, taking on added relevance in the current political climate. The kitchen is so often the site where individual flair meets family tradition. Flavors melt but remain distinct. Immigrants may arrive and assimilate other aspects of their original cultures, but taste persists.

He and his siblings recount the constant requests for definition their looks, their culture and their name inspired.

She spent her teenage years in the camps, where she also met her future husband. While Eva freely shares her experiences from that period, she lived her life determined not to let this deep betrayal limit or define her.

Both Choi's parents are from Korea, his mother from the north, his father from the south. His family arrived in California when Choi was two years old.

Choi describes her as having \"flavor in her fingertips,\" a quality he obviously inherited. The family ran several businesses, including a Korean restaurant in Anaheim, CA, which launched and failed during a formative period for Choi. Later, his parents would make their fortune in the jewelry business and move into an upscale suburb in Orange County. Choi's misspent youth, which included some famous addictions -- to drugs, milkshakes, and gambling -- and time spent as a low-rider in Norwalk, is well documented in his memoir/cookbook \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/L-Son-Life-City/dp/0062202634\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>L.A.

During her first visit to the city, Chiang secured a lease (impulsively? fatefully?) for some friends who wanted to open a restaurant. When that partnership fell apart, Chiang, with little previous business experience, became an accidental restaurateur. Unable to break her lease and unwilling to lose the $10,000 she had put toward the deposit, she decided to go ahead and open the restaurant in a small location on the north end of Polk Street. After sampling what then passed for Chinese food in the U.S. (chop suey, egg foo young, dishes she had never tasted before in China), Chiang opened The Mandarin to little fanfare in 1961, determined to introduce real Chinese food to the American palate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_107169\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/ceciilia1961-1440x1795.jpg\" alt=\"Cecilia Sun Yun Chiang, still from Wayne Wang's Soul of a Banquet\" width=\"640\" height=\"798\" class=\"size-large wp-image-107169\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/ceciilia1961-1440x1795.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/ceciilia1961-400x499.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/ceciilia1961-800x997.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/ceciilia1961-768x957.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/ceciilia1961-1180x1471.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/ceciilia1961-960x1197.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cecilia Sun Yun Chiang, still from Wayne Wang's Soul of a Banquet\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After gaining (apparently) well-deserved and hard-earned notoriety, The Mandarin moved to a larger location on Ghirardelli Square, and Chiang began her mission in earnest, adding classes in traditional Chinese cooking to the restaurant’s menu. Alice Waters attended a handful of these lessons and became a lifelong friend, eventually comparing Chiang’s influence to Julia Child’s, who Chiang also schooled in the art of Chinese cuisine. When Waters’ famous Berkeley restaurant Chez Panisse celebrated its 40th anniversary a few years back, Chiang paid tribute to their decades-long friendship by preparing a traditional Chinese banquet, which was captured on film by Wayne Wang (\u003cem>The Joy Luck Club\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Chan Is Missing\u003c/em>). That project blossomed into Wang’s \u003cem>Soul of a Banquet\u003c/em> documentary celebrating the restaurateur’s life and influence. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/f3fY6sCQQvc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, with San Francisco so famous for its cuisine, it is almost impossible to imagine what food in the city must have been like back in the day. We will never understand the influence of pioneers like Chiang. We cannot know the world as it was before them, but must be careful to remember their efforts as we enjoy the fruits of their labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is interesting to consider how changes in thinking about food magnify, ripple and ultimately modify the culture. Food is so basic to identity, which is why the Center for Asian American Media (\u003ca href=\"http://caamedia.org/\" target=\"_blank\">CAAM\u003c/a>) began its CAAMFeast a couple years back. \u003ca href=\"http://caamedia.org/caamfeast-awards-stories-food-you/\" target=\"_blank\">CAAMFeast\u003c/a> celebrates “the ways cultural memory and storytelling are passed down through food.” I thought it intriguing that the Center for Asian American \u003cem>Media\u003c/em> was spotlighting chefs instead of filmmakers and asked Debbie Ng, CAAM’s Development and Communications Director about the connection between food and media. Ng replied, “As a cultural institution, we have always told stories about bridging and bonding — and food is a primary vehicle for that.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, the CAAMFeast, a multimedia event honoring 96-year-old Cecilia Sun Yun Chiang, along with internationally renowned chef and entrepreneur George Chen (Betelnut, LongLife Noodle Company) — who started out as a waiter at The Mandarin, by the way — and chef Brandon Jew (Bar Agricole, Mister Jiu’s) for their contributions to Asian American culinary achievement, is a huge celebration that leads directly into CAAMFest, the 34th annual celebration of Asian American film, music and food. The festival is truly a BEAST, with 11 days of film screenings, music events, panel discussions and social gatherings in multiple venues all around the Bay. This post would quickly become unwieldy should I attempt to cover the breadth of CAAMFest’s ambitions (the festival screens 123 films from around 20 countries).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/WX4C6jr_mmA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The theme connecting culture and cuisine is on vivid display in the film festival’s presentation of \u003cem>Family Ingredients\u003c/em>, an engaging cooking-travelogue-history show exploring the traditions behind popular Hawaiian dishes with celebrity chef Ed Kenney. The two episodes featured in the festival are a sneak peek at a series that has already won an Emmy for its pilot episode and will begin airing in earnest on PBS this July. The first episode begins with Kenney's personal relationship to poi, a staple made from taro root that is often the first solid food Hawaiian children are fed. Kenney reveals the many permutations of poi, visiting a farm that raises heirloom varieties, a community center that celebrates the making of poi as a communal practice, and profiling a couple of chefs engaged in expanding the vocabulary of the dish (poi pie, poi hummus, poi cheese). The second episode begins with \u003cem>pipikaula\u003c/em> (salted dried beef) and ends up tracing the history of the \u003cem>paniolo\u003c/em> (Hawaiian cowboys) back in time to the Bay Area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/Q4MIdOj98EA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A featured documentary, \u003cem>Kampai: For the Love of Sake\u003c/em>, follows three sake connoisseurs on a trip through Japanese culture toward a better understanding of the present-day sake industry. \u003cem>Kampai\u003c/em> (Japanese of ‘cheers’) is one of those lush, multi-layered journey films — a gorgeously photographed and lovingly constructed portrait of three men and the passion for sake that almost fatefully unites them. How did a young, seemingly aimless engineering student from Cleveland, OH become an international sake evangelist? How did the scion of a sake company go from avoiding the family business to revolutionizing it? How did a rural Brit become one of Japan’s most respected sake makers? These questions get answered over the course of the documentary, but as they do another arises: Do you choose your path or does your path choose you? Meanwhile, how is sake made? We get to see the process in glorious detail. Make a reservation at a local sake spot; you will want to experience the drink's many complexities when this film comes to an end. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_107173\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-1440x728.png\" alt=\"Still from Noodle Deli\" width=\"640\" height=\"324\" class=\"size-large wp-image-107173\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-1440x728.png 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-400x202.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-800x404.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-768x388.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-1180x596.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-960x485.png 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Still from Noodle Deli\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Two shorts, \u003cem>Noodle Deli\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Donut Shop\u003c/em> offer loving profiles of immigrant entrepreneurs.

During her first visit to the city, Chiang secured a lease (impulsively? fatefully?) for some friends who wanted to open a restaurant. When that partnership fell apart, Chiang, with little previous business experience, became an accidental restaurateur. Unable to break her lease and unwilling to lose the $10,000 she had put toward the deposit, she decided to go ahead and open the restaurant in a small location on the north end of Polk Street. After sampling what then passed for Chinese food in the U.S. (chop suey, egg foo young, dishes she had never tasted before in China), Chiang opened The Mandarin to little fanfare in 1961, determined to introduce real Chinese food to the American palate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_107169\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/ceciilia1961-1440x1795.jpg\" alt=\"Cecilia Sun Yun Chiang, still from Wayne Wang's Soul of a Banquet\" width=\"640\" height=\"798\" class=\"size-large wp-image-107169\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/ceciilia1961-1440x1795.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/ceciilia1961-400x499.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/ceciilia1961-800x997.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/ceciilia1961-768x957.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/ceciilia1961-1180x1471.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/ceciilia1961-960x1197.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cecilia Sun Yun Chiang, still from Wayne Wang's Soul of a Banquet\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After gaining (apparently) well-deserved and hard-earned notoriety, The Mandarin moved to a larger location on Ghirardelli Square, and Chiang began her mission in earnest, adding classes in traditional Chinese cooking to the restaurant’s menu. Alice Waters attended a handful of these lessons and became a lifelong friend, eventually comparing Chiang’s influence to Julia Child’s, who Chiang also schooled in the art of Chinese cuisine. When Waters’ famous Berkeley restaurant Chez Panisse celebrated its 40th anniversary a few years back, Chiang paid tribute to their decades-long friendship by preparing a traditional Chinese banquet, which was captured on film by Wayne Wang (\u003cem>The Joy Luck Club\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Chan Is Missing\u003c/em>). That project blossomed into Wang’s \u003cem>Soul of a Banquet\u003c/em> documentary celebrating the restaurateur’s life and influence. \u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/f3fY6sCQQvc'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/f3fY6sCQQvc'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Now, with San Francisco so famous for its cuisine, it is almost impossible to imagine what food in the city must have been like back in the day. We will never understand the influence of pioneers like Chiang. We cannot know the world as it was before them, but must be careful to remember their efforts as we enjoy the fruits of their labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is interesting to consider how changes in thinking about food magnify, ripple and ultimately modify the culture. Food is so basic to identity, which is why the Center for Asian American Media (\u003ca href=\"http://caamedia.org/\" target=\"_blank\">CAAM\u003c/a>) began its CAAMFeast a couple years back. \u003ca href=\"http://caamedia.org/caamfeast-awards-stories-food-you/\" target=\"_blank\">CAAMFeast\u003c/a> celebrates “the ways cultural memory and storytelling are passed down through food.” I thought it intriguing that the Center for Asian American \u003cem>Media\u003c/em> was spotlighting chefs instead of filmmakers and asked Debbie Ng, CAAM’s Development and Communications Director about the connection between food and media. Ng replied, “As a cultural institution, we have always told stories about bridging and bonding — and food is a primary vehicle for that.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, the CAAMFeast, a multimedia event honoring 96-year-old Cecilia Sun Yun Chiang, along with internationally renowned chef and entrepreneur George Chen (Betelnut, LongLife Noodle Company) — who started out as a waiter at The Mandarin, by the way — and chef Brandon Jew (Bar Agricole, Mister Jiu’s) for their contributions to Asian American culinary achievement, is a huge celebration that leads directly into CAAMFest, the 34th annual celebration of Asian American film, music and food. The festival is truly a BEAST, with 11 days of film screenings, music events, panel discussions and social gatherings in multiple venues all around the Bay.

The two episodes featured in the festival are a sneak peek at a series that has already won an Emmy for its pilot episode and will begin airing in earnest on PBS this July. The first episode begins with Kenney's personal relationship to poi, a staple made from taro root that is often the first solid food Hawaiian children are fed. Kenney reveals the many permutations of poi, visiting a farm that raises heirloom varieties, a community center that celebrates the making of poi as a communal practice, and profiling a couple of chefs engaged in expanding the vocabulary of the dish (poi pie, poi hummus, poi cheese). The second episode begins with \u003cem>pipikaula\u003c/em> (salted dried beef) and ends up tracing the history of the \u003cem>paniolo\u003c/em> (Hawaiian cowboys) back in time to the Bay Area. \u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/Q4MIdOj98EA'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/Q4MIdOj98EA'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>A featured documentary, \u003cem>Kampai: For the Love of Sake\u003c/em>, follows three sake connoisseurs on a trip through Japanese culture toward a better understanding of the present-day sake industry. \u003cem>Kampai\u003c/em> (Japanese of ‘cheers’) is one of those lush, multi-layered journey films — a gorgeously photographed and lovingly constructed portrait of three men and the passion for sake that almost fatefully unites them. How did a young, seemingly aimless engineering student from Cleveland, OH become an international sake evangelist? How did the scion of a sake company go from avoiding the family business to revolutionizing it? How did a rural Brit become one of Japan’s most respected sake makers? These questions get answered over the course of the documentary, but as they do another arises: Do you choose your path or does your path choose you? Meanwhile, how is sake made? We get to see the process in glorious detail. Make a reservation at a local sake spot; you will want to experience the drink's many complexities when this film comes to an end. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_107173\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-1440x728.png\" alt=\"Still from Noodle Deli\" width=\"640\" height=\"324\" class=\"size-large wp-image-107173\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-1440x728.png 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-400x202.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-800x404.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-768x388.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-1180x596.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-960x485.png 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Still from Noodle Deli\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Two shorts, \u003cem>Noodle Deli\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Donut Shop\u003c/em> offer loving profiles of immigrant entrepreneurs.

What does he aspire to be?” Thus came the inspiration for his directorial debut, “\u003ca href=\"http://caamfest.com/2014/films/east-side-sushi/\">East Side Sushi\u003c/a>,” which follows Juana Martinez (Dianna Torres), a single mother working to support her aging father and young daughter. After being robbed at her family’s fruit stand, Juana gets a job at a local Japanese restaurant. Her growing passion for sushi and her talent in the kitchen do not go unnoticed by Aki (Yutaka Takeuchi), the lead sushi chef. However, she is met with opposition by the restaurant owner, as she does not meet the traditional expectations of a sushi chef. To prove her worth, she enters a sushi making competition, where she showcases her signature roll: the Green Diablo Roll. This bittersweet film, a Bay Area local production, explores the very real notion of food authenticity through the lens of gender and race. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I sat down with Lucero during \u003ca href=\"http://caamfest.com/2014/\">CAAMFest 2014\u003c/a> to talk about the making of the Green Diablo Roll and why he believes this story is important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_79319\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/East-Side-Sushi-Photo1_Michael-Jeong-Photography1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/East-Side-Sushi-Photo1_Michael-Jeong-Photography1000.jpg\" alt=\"“East Side Sushi” director (left) Anthony Lucero with actors Dianna Torres and Yutaka Takeuchi.

I saw a poblano pepper and was like maybe. So I wrote [in the screenplay] that she wraps [the sushi] in the poblano pepper. I didn't even know if that was possible. When I gave [the screenplay] to Tomoharu [Nakamura]—the sushi chef consultant on the film—to look at, I wasn't sure if he would understand. He calls me up one day and he's like, “Come to the restaurant, I want to show you the competition food.” So I go to Tomoharu’s restaurant [and] he does the Green Diablo Roll! I was like, “Is that a roasted poblano?” I was freaking out. He totally shocked me! He said it was very difficult to make the Green Diablo Roll, to actually get the pepper just flat and straight. You have to peel off the skin and just roll it perfectly. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why are people so interested in this story?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nAL: A lot of people can relate to Juana.

What does he aspire to be?” Thus came the inspiration for his directorial debut, “\u003ca href=\"http://caamfest.com/2014/films/east-side-sushi/\">East Side Sushi\u003c/a>,” which follows Juana Martinez (Dianna Torres), a single mother working to support her aging father and young daughter. After being robbed at her family’s fruit stand, Juana gets a job at a local Japanese restaurant. Her growing passion for sushi and her talent in the kitchen do not go unnoticed by Aki (Yutaka Takeuchi), the lead sushi chef. However, she is met with opposition by the restaurant owner, as she does not meet the traditional expectations of a sushi chef. To prove her worth, she enters a sushi making competition, where she showcases her signature roll: the Green Diablo Roll. This bittersweet film, a Bay Area local production, explores the very real notion of food authenticity through the lens of gender and race. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I sat down with Lucero during \u003ca href=\"http://caamfest.com/2014/\">CAAMFest 2014\u003c/a> to talk about the making of the Green Diablo Roll and why he believes this story is important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_79319\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/East-Side-Sushi-Photo1_Michael-Jeong-Photography1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/East-Side-Sushi-Photo1_Michael-Jeong-Photography1000.jpg\" alt=\"“East Side Sushi” director (left) Anthony Lucero with actors Dianna Torres and Yutaka Takeuchi.

I saw a poblano pepper and was like maybe. So I wrote [in the screenplay] that she wraps [the sushi] in the poblano pepper. I didn't even know if that was possible. When I gave [the screenplay] to Tomoharu [Nakamura]—the sushi chef consultant on the film—to look at, I wasn't sure if he would understand. He calls me up one day and he's like, “Come to the restaurant, I want to show you the competition food.” So I go to Tomoharu’s restaurant [and] he does the Green Diablo Roll! I was like, “Is that a roasted poblano?” I was freaking out. He totally shocked me! He said it was very difficult to make the Green Diablo Roll, to actually get the pepper just flat and straight.

Lieu found herself at the age of 19 selling homemade chocolates at a farmers’ market in Santa Rosa. She, along with her sister, Susan Lieu, the business and marketing guru behind Socola, later started selling their chocolates—in flavors such as sriracha, guava and ca phe sua (Vietnamese coffee)—wholesale to specialty shops like Bi-Rite Market and supermarkets like Whole Foods. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_77648\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 500px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/Socola-Valentines-e1391565034475.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/Socola-Valentines-e1391565034475.jpg\" alt=\"Socola Chocolatier offers a Valentine’s Day selection that includes chocolates with “love” in various languages.

Lieu’s mom was pregnant with her when her family left Vietnam as refugees in 1982. Her parents spent two years in a refugee camp in Kuala Lumpur—where Wendy was born—before they eventually settled in Emeryville, CA. “I escaped many times by boat, in a small boat, and finally I made it,” says Tom Lieu, Wendy’s father, in a recent phone interview. Once there, Wendy’s mother learned to do nails and her father delivered papers. After years of saving, her parents opened their own nail salon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_77646\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1536px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/Chocolates.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/Chocolates.jpg\" alt=\"A tray of chocolates from Socola Chocolatier.

Photo courtesy of Socola Chocolatier\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Growing up in a Vietnamese household, Lieu was no stranger to cooking and the love and appreciation of food. She scoured cookbooks and received “weird gifts” like a sandwich press, and even made her own French bread when she was nine. However, there was one food item that baffled her—chocolate. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While working at Sanrio Surprises, a Hello Kitty store in a strip mall, Lieu, then 15, would pass by See’s Candies everyday, and wonder how chocolates are made. “We’d obviously eat their samples and buy chocolates too but eventually one day I was like, ‘Wait! How did they make that?’ I loved to create things, but I couldn’t figure out how to make chocolate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She started poring over magazine recipes, experimenting with ingredients, and saving up the wages she got from working at the Hello Kitty store to buy chocolate-making supplies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her big break came when their Santa Rosa neighbor, a marketing person for KSRO, tried her chocolates. Within a week, Lieu found herself on the radio talking about her hobby and newly-minted chocolate business. “Everyone we knew was calling in and they were like, ‘Wendy! We didn’t know you started a business.’” “And I was kind of like, ‘Me neither!’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_77652\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/Wendy-with-her-mother.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/Wendy-with-her-mother.jpg\" alt=\"Wendy and Susan with their late mother, Jennifer Ha, in El Cerrito circa 1986.

Photo courtesy of Wendy Lieu\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Though Lieu clearly had a talent for chocolate-making, she felt like she didn’t have the support of her father, who raised Wendy and sister Susan as a widowed single parent after their mother passed away when Wendy was 14. As with most immigrant parents, Lieu’s father’s desire for a better life for their children played a very significant part in his view of the sister’s budding business. “’I didn’t bring you to the U.S. so that you could make chocolates,’” Lieu recalls her father telling her. Her father wanted her to go to college and get a stable job. Lieu said that was the toughest part—seeking her father’s approval. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Lieu went on to college, graduated and pursued a career at a major consulting firm. However, chocolate remained her side hustle, and passion. She maintained her chocolate business with her sister and attended pastry school at night and during the weekends at \u003ca href=\"http://www.tantemarie.com/\">Tante Marie\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2012, Lieu made the decision to work full time at Socola. It wasn’t the challenge of owning a business that worried her, or the boys’ club of chocolatiers. With names like Joseph Schmidt, Jacques Torres, and Dolf Teuscher, the world of chocolate is a mostly-white, male boys’ club. “I taught myself and sometimes it feels like I’m not as credible as other people, but my chocolates speak for me,” Lieu said. “Delicately daring” is how she describes her chocolates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lieu was worried about how her father would react. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They were driving from Houston to Austin when she broke the news—that she was quitting her job and focusing on chocolates full-time. “If I put 100 percent of my energy into it I don’t know what it could be but it could be something amazing and I would rather try for that—to see what that unknown is going to be.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His reaction was one she did not expect. “He started tearing up and then was like ‘That is exactly what me and your mom said when we left Vietnam. Do it.” Lieu still gets teary-eyed recalling that moment of her dad’s acceptance. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_77650\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 911px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/Wendy-and-Tom-Lieu.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/Wendy-and-Tom-Lieu.jpg\" alt=\"Wendy with her father, Tom Lieu.

Lieu found herself at the age of 19 selling homemade chocolates at a farmers’ market in Santa Rosa. She, along with her sister, Susan Lieu, the business and marketing guru behind Socola, later started selling their chocolates—in flavors such as sriracha, guava and ca phe sua (Vietnamese coffee)—wholesale to specialty shops like Bi-Rite Market and supermarkets like Whole Foods. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_77648\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 500px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/Socola-Valentines-e1391565034475.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/Socola-Valentines-e1391565034475.jpg\" alt=\"Socola Chocolatier offers a Valentine’s Day selection that includes chocolates with “love” in various languages.

Lieu’s mom was pregnant with her when her family left Vietnam as refugees in 1982. Her parents spent two years in a refugee camp in Kuala Lumpur—where Wendy was born—before they eventually settled in Emeryville, CA. “I escaped many times by boat, in a small boat, and finally I made it,” says Tom Lieu, Wendy’s father, in a recent phone interview. Once there, Wendy’s mother learned to do nails and her father delivered papers. After years of saving, her parents opened their own nail salon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_77646\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1536px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/Chocolates.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/Chocolates.jpg\" alt=\"A tray of chocolates from Socola Chocolatier.

She scoured cookbooks and received “weird gifts” like a sandwich press, and even made her own French bread when she was nine. However, there was one food item that baffled her—chocolate. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While working at Sanrio Surprises, a Hello Kitty store in a strip mall, Lieu, then 15, would pass by See’s Candies everyday, and wonder how chocolates are made. “We’d obviously eat their samples and buy chocolates too but eventually one day I was like, ‘Wait! How did they make that?’ I loved to create things, but I couldn’t figure out how to make chocolate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She started poring over magazine recipes, experimenting with ingredients, and saving up the wages she got from working at the Hello Kitty store to buy chocolate-making supplies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her big break came when their Santa Rosa neighbor, a marketing person for KSRO, tried her chocolates. Within a week, Lieu found herself on the radio talking about her hobby and newly-minted chocolate business. “Everyone we knew was calling in and they were like, ‘Wendy! We didn’t know you started a business.’” “And I was kind of like, ‘Me neither!’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_77652\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/Wendy-with-her-mother.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/Wendy-with-her-mother.jpg\" alt=\"Wendy and Susan with their late mother, Jennifer Ha, in El Cerrito circa 1986.

Photo courtesy of Wendy Lieu\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Though Lieu clearly had a talent for chocolate-making, she felt like she didn’t have the support of her father, who raised Wendy and sister Susan as a widowed single parent after their mother passed away when Wendy was 14. As with most immigrant parents, Lieu’s father’s desire for a better life for their children played a very significant part in his view of the sister’s budding business. “’I didn’t bring you to the U.S. so that you could make chocolates,’” Lieu recalls her father telling her. Her father wanted her to go to college and get a stable job. Lieu said that was the toughest part—seeking her father’s approval. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Lieu went on to college, graduated and pursued a career at a major consulting firm. However, chocolate remained her side hustle, and passion. She maintained her chocolate business with her sister and attended pastry school at night and during the weekends at \u003ca href=\"http://www.tantemarie.com/\">Tante Marie\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2012, Lieu made the decision to work full time at Socola. It wasn’t the challenge of owning a business that worried her, or the boys’ club of chocolatiers. With names like Joseph Schmidt, Jacques Torres, and Dolf Teuscher, the world of chocolate is a mostly-white, male boys’ club. “I taught myself and sometimes it feels like I’m not as credible as other people, but my chocolates speak for me,” Lieu said. “Delicately daring” is how she describes her chocolates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lieu was worried about how her father would react. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They were driving from Houston to Austin when she broke the news—that she was quitting her job and focusing on chocolates full-time. “If I put 100 percent of my energy into it I don’t know what it could be but it could be something amazing and I would rather try for that—to see what that unknown is going to be.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His reaction was one she did not expect. “He started tearing up and then was like ‘That is exactly what me and your mom said when we left Vietnam. Do it.” Lieu still gets teary-eyed recalling that moment of her dad’s acceptance. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_77650\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 911px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/Wendy-and-Tom-Lieu.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/02/Wendy-and-Tom-Lieu.jpg\" alt=\"Wendy with her father, Tom Lieu.

She told the crowd how she immigrated from Shanghai to the U.S. when she was nine, speaking only Mandarin. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Learning English in fifth grade was the hardest thing, but everyday after school, when my aunt cooked traditional Chinese food for dinner, I watched and learned. It was a way for me to build confidence. Food was also a way to communicate with my Irish-American step-father who only spoke English.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Murphy says she did “typical Asian American things,” like attend UC Berkeley and work in banking and finance, but realized that she usually spent her days talking about food with friends. When she told her “very traditional mother” she planned to quit her well-paying high-tech job and do something she loved, her mother was shocked, “A food business?” her mother demanded, “Why are you are going \u003cem>backward\u003c/em>?” Murphy explains that as Asians immigrate to the U.S., their first jobs are commonly cooking or doing deliveries for a restaurant.

It would be great for this show to connect with other Asian adoptees. We’re still Asian American. As a cook, I feel it’s my duty is to educate and help Korean adoptees understand more about their culture and traditions. When I left culinary school at 18, I went to Italy thinking I wanted to cook Italian and French cuisine. But ultimately I decided I needed to learn to cook Korean, it’s part of my heritage. So two years ago, I took my first trip to Seoul, tried to learn the language, and cooked at a restaurant there. I came back and started a pop-up called Seoul Patch. This show is important; it can inspire people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grace Lee definitely wants her film to explore boundaries beyond the big cities of the East and West Coasts. Lee was born and raised in Columbia, Missouri, where she was afraid people thought her Korean American family was “weird and exotic.” “We had two refrigerators (one was for kimchi) and always worried about offending our neighbors.” She plans to include film shoots in the South and Midwest. “I’m excited to embark on this journey,” says Lee, “but I realize the topic is almost limitless. It’s not specifically about cooking, travel or famous chefs, but more about people we’ve never heard of: farmers, suppliers, the guy who introduced sushi to Texas.”\u003cbr>\nProducer Louise Lo told the crowd, “This unique point of view will hopefully come from people like you, who want to submit ideas.
