Tso’l Food is an American journey through the Chinese kitchen with Gerald Tan.
The show explores dishes old and new; culinary techniques woven through the lineages; knowledge preserved and adapted by the Chinese diaspora and their descendants.
Chicago’s urban Chinatown is a rare breed , the only of its kind that’s still growing. While Chinese families in cities across America have opted to move into the suburbs, here lies a thriving community that’s something more than a pastiche tourist attraction.
In this episode, Tan traces how this sense of community binds the many Chinese eateries all over Chicago and into its suburbs.
