The story follows the course of Eddie Huang's Taiwanese family as they make their way from Chinatown of Washington, D.C. to Orlando, Florida to open up a cowboy-themed steak restaurant. In Season 2, as hip-hop continues to become more widespread in mainstream culture, the Huang family continues working towards assimilating in suburban Florida. While Louis wants everyone happy, Jessica wants everyone to outshine the rest of Orlando, Eddie just wants to feel like everyone else.
