DIAMOND GRILL is a rich banquet where Salisbury Steak shares a menu with chicken fried rice, bird’s nest soup sets the stage for Christmas plum pudding; where racism simmers behind the shiny clean surface of the action in the cafe. This story of family and identity, migration and integration, culture and self-discovery is told through family history, memory, and the occasional recipe.
"DIAMOND GRILL combines memories, recipes, history and narrative into a mix of savoury and heartwarming as the best bowl of hot and sour soup money can buy and love can cook...Diamond Grill Sparkles!"
