RECIPE FOR HEAVY BREAD is the second episode of season two and a real winner thanks to the presence of three guest stars. The story is set in the world of drug smuggling in which heroin is shipped internationally via an ingenious method. There's a cracking pace here and lots of comic interplay building to a suitably explosive climax; I particularly enjoyed Mr. T's conversion of the van into a virtual tank. The actors featured include the ever-creepy Marjoe Gortner, reliable Asian star John Fujioka, and the great Mako as an old friend of the team.

Recipe for Heavy Bread

The A Team come across their Vietnamese cook Lin from their POW camp. He is now working in a LA restaurant.
Lin has been sent to America by the barbaric prison camp commander General Chow. He is in league with Angel, A Navy Lieutenant who had collaborated with the enemy in the prison camp.
Now they are running a drug smuggling operation together.
The A Team have fond memories of Lin, who always helped them out. They are no fans of Chow and Angel and are determined to bring them down.
An action packed episode with some good chopper action. Face pretending to be some top interior designer who lives in a swanky LA apartment. Also this is a personal mission for them as they go after Chow.
Marjoe Gortner plays the cunning Angel whose father is a powerful mobster.

A recipe for trouble

Face recognizes, the pastry chef in his fancy favorite LA restaurant as Lin Duk Coo, the kind Viet Cong prison camp cook who kept the A team and many other soldiers well fed, but Lin Duk Coo flees, and the A-Team end up help him fend off drug peddlers with the help of sourdough! Loved the guns in sourdough and the tank van, but it's business as usual, which isn't a bad thing. Loved how Face tries to keep appearances and tries to explain their presence to the posh apartment residents.
Nice one
