The story of T-swirl Crepe starts thousands of miles away on the shores of Japan. The Japanese Crepe borrows from a western concept and modernized it into new level of versatility that you can gobble on the go. Building on this new concept, T-swirl started to research and have perfected the 100% gluten free rice flour batter, to craft a crispy thin chewy layer that embraces all the decadent condiments.

In 2007, Andy Lin moved out of New York, travelling to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to begin work at a hibachi restaurant where Jerry Lin was already employed, he said. Andy Lin proved a quick study, Jerry Lin recalled, earning the plaudits of the owner who asked him to partner to open another store two years later.
But despite earning more than $10,000 a month, Andy Lin said he began to feel his career plateauing after years of doing the same thing day in, day out.
That's when he noticed the frozen yogurt shop across from his restaurant in Pittsburgh and decided to take a chance, he said.
Hoping to ride the frozen-yogurt wave washing up in cities across the country, Andy Lin returned his share of the restaurant and left at the end of 2010, he said.

[T]he story describes a profound culture clash, this time involving a retired tai chi master, Mr. Chu (Sihung Lung, who also starred in "The Wedding Banquet"), who moves from Beijing to America to live with his son. The film first finds him in a sterile New York suburb, coexisting with a daughter-in-law who is not of Asian extraction and has absolutely no use for this lovely old man.The event runs from 2:00 to 5:00 pm and is free and open to the public. The library is located at 5801 Forbes Ave. in Squirrel Hill (map), accessible via buses 61A, 61B, 61C, 61D, 64, and 74.
While Martha (Deb Syder) works so hard at establishing herself as "a bold new voice in women's fiction" that she gives herself stress-related stomach aches, Mr. Chu does his best to remain on a peaceful plane. The film concentrates on wry observations of why such tranquillity is not possible in contemporary America, and in seeing this new world through old Mr. Chu's point of view. The title, a tai chi reference, is described as "a way of keeping your balance while unbalancing your opponent." As such, it aptly describes this teacher's new life.
