Chicken Feet

Chicken Feet · 2026

Michelle and Ben have a big announcement. Lynn and Chris? Front row seats. What was meant to be a celebratory dim sum lunch quickly gives way to an unbearably cringeworthy ten minutes that nobody at the table asked for. Sharp, uncomfortable, and darkly humorous, "Chicken Feet" deconstructs the entitlement and desperate search for validation that simmer beneath the surface of modern social dynamics - making it all a little hard to swallow.
