Harlan Lee Self - restaurant owner. Sue Lee Self - museum director. Harley Spiller Self - Chinese menu collector. Additional information Directors Ian Cheney. Directors Ian Cheney. Studio Sundance Selects. Subtitles English CC. Released year It deftly explodes the whole idea of authenticity in cuisine, showing through a single dish how cooking is always a matter of evolution.

The film delivers facts in a fun, fast, and fashionable way Foodies and filmgoers alike are fortunate Ian Cheney took the time not only to ask the questions, but to answer them. Especially intriguing is how Chinese dishes get transformed to appeal to American palates; who owns Chinese restaurants; and how they see their customers and competition.

The Search is lyrical, even magical, and often funny as well as moving. I love that it traces multiple histories of Chinese migration to the United States through food, in an accessible and thought-provoking manner. Understanding stories such as this will enrich your Chinese-food experience. An hour after watching it I was hungry to view it again.
