We all know and love General Tso’s Chicken, that mainstay on Chinese restaurant menus nationwide. But who was General Tso? Did he actually exist? And how did his chicken come to be the most popular Chinese restaurant dish in America?
Director Ian Cheney (King Corn, The City Dark) journeys from Shanghai to New York and all parts in between to solve these mysteries and tell “the story of a phenomenon” in a new Sundance Selects release from IFC Films, The Search for General Tso. Along the way he uncovers more than a few facts that may surprise you, as well as a host of humorous characters. Check out the trailer:
