Review by Bob Ignizio
If you're a fan of what we in America
call “Chinese food”, then you are at least aware of a dish called
General Tso's Chicken. There's a fairly good chance you've eaten it,
too, since it's one of the most popular ethnic foods in this country,
just behind pizza according to one subject interviewed in the new
documentary THE SEARCH FOR GENERAL TSO.
But just who was General Tso and what, if anything, did he have to do
with the dish that bears his name? Those are the questions
writer/director Ian Cheney sets out to answer with his film.
