In this six-part series, Lisa Ling unearths some of the buried stories of Asian America and retells them plate by plate
Photo: HBO Despite the fact that HBO Max gave her a show about food, Lisa Ling never really learned how to cook. “Grandma never taught us,” she reflects during episode two of Take Out With Lisa Ling, sitting in the Chinese restaurant once owned by her grandparents in Northern California. “She didn’t want us to have to work in a restaurant.
The Cut spoke with Ling about the emotional weight one food dish can hold and how Take Out is her professional peak.There is no better connector to culture than food. This series was a very personal project for me because my own family’s story here in the U.S. begins in a restaurant, and restaurants have become the pathway for so many Asian immigrants.
I’ve spent more than 30 years working as a broadcast journalist, and I think I’ve gotten fairly decent at sharing other people’s stories. This show was a unique journey for me into my own family’s heritage — especially in light of the violence that has been happening over the past couple of years against Asian American communities in this country.
