“What happens when People's Republic master chef Uncle Ho accepts an invitation to Washington, thanks to Henry Kissinger, to prepare⟳ a delectable multi-course Chinese dinner for East-West negotiations? You can bet⟳ it's more than birds' nest soup. Little do Uncle Ho or government officials suspect⟳ that there's a chefnapping in the fortune cookie. The plotters are an unlikely bunch of zanies in Paramus, New Jersey, who happen⟳ to be the proprietors of the Mandarin Pleasure Gardens, a spot of high kitsch and rotten cuisine.”
