Plot Synopsis

TAKE OUT WITH LISA LING is a six-episode docuseries that follows Lisa Ling, as she travels from the bayous of Louisiana to Orange County's Little Saigon to explore the foods we love while shining a spotlight on the contributions of Asian Americans. Ling's own family story began in a Chinese restaurant, and now she's visiting Asian restaurants, which are in practically every mall food court and Main Street across the country...yet, little is known about the diverse communities behind them. Asian Americans have long been lumped together, misunderstood, exoticized, and even purposefully cut out of our history books, and Ling reveals their culture, people, and impact.
