From meeting America’s preeminent fortune cookie writer Donald Lau (who eventually had writer’s block) to discovering small family-run fortune cookie bakeries in Kyoto, author Jennifer 8. Lee (The Fortune Cookie Chronicles) and director Derek Shimoda (Killing the Chinese Cookie) have traveled the world to uncover the truth about this elusive cookie. Join Lee and Shimoda as they swap stories about following the fortune cookie trail and how 19th-century Japan appears to be the key to the puzzle.
