Based on Cheng’s experiences growing up in a restaurant kitchen,is a comedy about the reluctant partnership that forms between estranged, thirtysomething siblings Vicky and Charlie Chow. When they both realize that the best way to salvage their disappointing and dysfunctional lives is to revive their family’s old Chinese restaurant and turn it into something it’s never been: a success.
“I’m so excited to work with HBO, JuVee, and Jude on such a personal passion project,” said Cheng. “We hope our series can highlight the importance of the Chinese restaurant as the uniquely American cultural institution it is, right next to baseball, systemic racism, and Coachella. We can’t wait to get started, which we plan to do by eating our way through every Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles in the name of research.
Wang, also a child of Chinese immigrants, also connected with the story when it comes to exploring identity and the inter-generational conflicts that can arise around cultural heritage. “Ken and Jude have expertly and deliciously found a way to speak to that experience,” he adds.
