Despite the number of food shows that have made a debut on television, having a series dedicated to Asian food is unprecedented. "It's interesting because Asian restaurants, particularly Chinese restaurants, have become more ubiquitous than McDonald's," said Ling. "Yet there have been no shows that highlight the Asian-American experience."
Ling and Cho were thrilled to have the show greenlit by HBO Max even before the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and before the number of attacks on Asian people began to increase at an alarming rate. "In light of those things, I think it's become more important than ever to highlight these kinds of stories, because let's face it, Asian American history is not taught in schools," said Ling. "When you exclude an entire community from your education and your history books, it becomes so easy to overlook and even dehumanize an entire population."
That green light from HBO Max allowed Ling and Cho to really dive into the stories behind Asian foods, the restaurateurs making them, or the people who have played a huge role in the agricultural industry in the United States. "Everyone loves Asian food but hasn't really taken the time to get to know the stories behind those foods," said Ling.
