MEET AND EAT AT LEE'S GARDEN
44 min / Directed by Day's Lee
Co-presented by 
Filmmaker Day’s Lee recalls her memories of her family’s restaurant Lee’s Garden, one of the first Chinese restaurants to open outside of Montreal’s Chinatown in the 1950s. As Chinese restaurants and the food they serve continue to evolve, it is these early restaurants and their cuisine that has captured the hearts and memories of people everywhere. Through interviews with former customers and families who owned other restaurants, MEET AND EAT AT LEE’S GARDEN explores how these early restaurants played an important role in the social history of Chinese and Jewish communities.
Meet and Eat with us! Join us for a post-film conversation on the food connection between the Jewish and Chinese communities. Enjoy Chinese (vegetarian) appetizers after the film and panel.
