Raised by Restaurants

Each episode of Raised by Restaurants will show the adult children of immigrant restaurant owners interviewing their own parents about their experience coming to the US and starting businesses. With first episodes based in North Carolina, the web series will tell the stories of immigrant-run restaurants in the South across two generations, and will explore what happens when second-generation immigrants ask their parents to dive deep into their own stories.
