 Po Boy Tango at Northlight
A World Premiere Celebration of the Human Spirit and the Joy of
Cooking
When Taiwanese immigrant Richie
Po strives to recreate his mother's famed "Great Banquet," he
turns to the only chef he knows - an estranged friend and Soul food
cook, Gloria B. Despite the challenges of shark fin soup, duck po boy
sandwiches and underlying cultural tensions, Richie and Gloria find common
ground through their shared humor and the blending of traditional Chinese cuisine
and African American Soul food. Helped by lessons from Po Mama's
television cooking show, the two discover a deeper understanding of food,
culture and the nature of friendship.
