Description

Director Ty Sanga celebrates food, culture and family roots in a picturesque travelogue adventure starring Chef Ed Kenney, who owns an award-winning restaurant, and Chef Alan Wong, co-founder of Hawaii Regional Cuisine. In a vein similar to that of EAT, PRAY, LOVE, we find a much deeper connection between where we come from and the food that we eat.

Kenney asks Wong about the two dishes that distinctly remind him of his childhood. When Wong picks the dishes his mother always used to cook for him growing up in Hawaii, the two seek out their key ingredients. They not only explore local farms and factories in Hawaii, but also return to the place where these recipes originated from — Japan. As the chefs visits locales throughout Japan, the audience enjoys an open dialogue on organic food, farming and ancient recipes handed down for many generations.
