Stefan Gates, UK, 2008 (30 min)
In this episode from the BBC’s fascinating Cooking in the Danger Zone series, Stefan Gates witnesses how the rapid pace of modernization is changing the way people eat in China. He spends a day working at the Kung Fu fast food joint, samples the menu of a Beijing restaurant, and attempts to shake off his Communist party minders to talk to one of China’s poverty-stricken farmers. Cooking in the Danger Zone explores unusual food stories in some of the world's more dangerous places, using food to explore and understand cultures worldwide.
Lunch Matters is the Rubin Museum's answer to the mid-day monotony. Every Wednesday at 1, grab your lunch in the museum's Himalayan-inspired Cafe, and bring it into the theater for a short film and discussion. This summer's series, Eating in the Danger Zone, features short films about cooking adventures in the Himalayas, from a fast food joint in Beijing to dinner with a former Taliban commander.
