Book: Have You Eaten Yet?

I’m currently reading and enjoying Have You Eaten Yet? It’s by Cheuk Kwan, a documentary filmmaker who traveled around the the world seeking the stories behind Chinese restaurants in places ranging from Tromso, Norway to Havana, Cuba to Mumbai and New Delhi, India. The people he talks with are fascinating. What’s also interesting is that you can watch the documentary chapters he made on YouTube for free. Some chapters I read, some I watched, and a few I did both. His YT channel is Cheuk Kwan’s Chinese Restaurants: https://www.youtube.com/@cheukkwan

By the way,

“Have you eaten yet?” is a common greeting among Chinese, taking the place of “how are you?”
