The Search for General Tso (2014)

From New York City to the farmlands of the Midwest, there are 50,000 Chinese restaurants in the U.S., yet one dish in particular has conquered the American culinary landscape with a force befitting its military moniker—"General Tso's Chicken." But who was General Tso and how did this dish become so ubiquitous? Ian Cheney's delightfully insightful documentary charts the history of Chinese Americans through the surprising origins of this sticky, sweet, just-spicy-enough dish that we've adopted as our own.

The Search for General Tso is also a history of the Chinese immigrant experience in America, as the way into the hearts of xenophobic white Americans was through their stomachs.

A very well done Documentarie it took a topic i did not know much about and keep me watching, only real problem with it is its only 1 hr. 11 min. and it dose feel weird to pay full ticket price for of a movie that's not even 90 minutes long

Never eat Chinese food and the subject matter isn't all that interesting so I was pretty bored throughout. Has some okay facts but they can be found easily through the internet and not an hour plus documentary. More shots of food than useful or interesting information. Kinda want some egg rolls though now.

This film was absolutely amazing. Not only will it make you appreciate Chinese food so much more (and make you incredibly hungry), but it is a fascinating and insightful investigation into the place Chinese food has in American culture.

In its conclusive search for the origin of a staple dish of American Chinese restaurant menus, this documentary explores the advent, mass appeal and continuous evolution of Chinese cuisine in the United States. I loved how the filmmakers traveled all over the US, China and Taiwan, interviewing key personalities and Chinese food aficionados, to present a narrative that is as delightful as the dish. If you love Chinese food, you'll love this documentary.
