The Portuguese Sushi Chef
Licensing |
A Portuguese chef, Chef Paulo, married to a Hapa-Japanese American woman, learns to become a master sushi chef and opens a new restaurant that artfully combines Portuguese and Japanese cuisine. And he opens the restaurant, called Queee, in Los Angeles' Chinatown district. This is a place where many cultures are converging--an interesting example of urban diversity.
