Ali Eats America 
Seventeen-year-old Ali Allouche, who is battling cancer, binges on food shows with his mom during chemo treatments. Inspired by Anthony Bourdain, and aided by a successful GoFundMe campaign, they map a culinary journey across the US. From pizzerias to pit masters, the Grand Canyon to New York City, Ali is welcomed by some of the country’s best restaurants and chefs, including José Andrés and Wolfgang Puck. A tearful, funny, and honest story about living with, and beyond, a cancer diagnosis.
