Upcoming Projects!
Currently, I'm writing my next memoir, "Leftovers", directing a short documentary for American Masters, and fundraising for my Chinese restaurant doc series, etc.)
Chinese Restaurant Doc Series
From chop suey joints to all-you-can-eat buffets, Chinese restaurants are an important part of America's culinary landscape. To honor this long history, I am planning to produce (and host) a docuseries on the history of these venerable institutions.
