Awkwafina Digs Into Her Culinary Roots to Try Something a Little Crazy: Open a Restaurant
- On Friday, Apple launched the eight-episode series 'Awkwafina: The Unlikely Cook,' starring Emmy-winning Awkwafina on a cross-country journey exploring Asian American cuisine and her family's restaurant legacy.
- Nora Lum, known professionally as Awkwafina, comes from restaurant royalty; her family operated Lum's, an iconic Cantonese restaurant in Queens that closed after four decades in the 1990s.
- She collaborated with acclaimed chef Roy Choi to master various dishes, culminating in a one-night pop-up at a Manhattan pizzeria that served 50 guests.
- The project sparked a '180-degree shift' for the actor, and Awkwafina is now working to reopen Lum's long-term after gaining the confidence to lead the kitchen.
- Executive producer David Brindley noted the show evolved into a deeply personal narrative, intending to inspire viewers that it is 'never too late' to master new skills.
