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 is a one-hour PBS primetime special co-produced by the Center for Asian American Media and KQED, with funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
