Gosh, I am so hungry for Chinese food now and I've only seen the trailer!

It's a documentary film about Chinese food in America. 

You can watch the trailer for the film here:

"The Search for General Tso"

 

This reminds me so much of the late eGullet co-founder and author Fat Guy (Steven Shaw). I think he would have loved the conversation initiated by this film.

 

Here's a past eGullet discussion about the same subject:

"Who was General Tso, why are we eating his chicken"

Brian: Peter, those are Cheerios.”

Hope they talked to Jennifer 8. Lee who wrote The Fortune Cookie Chronicles...she went to General Tso's hometown to track the myth and truth down.

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.
