House Special

SUMMARY

Paris meets prairie, when upscale designer and chef Jackie Kai Ellis goes out of her comfort zone to learn more about her people’s story on a plate.

On the tails of her own self discovery and bestselling memoir, Jackie is on a journey to explore the rich and colourful world of roadside, Chinese restaurants. Putting her own identity into question, this is a character driven series serving up crispy visuals from buffet to BBQ and offers a delicious new perspective on the origins of makeshift railway chop suey.

Along the way, she'll get a taste of kitchen table wisdom, culture and community. House Special explores how Chinese immigrants had to overcome dicrimination and carve out a culinary niche that has become as Canadian as a Tim Hortons double double.
