Synopsis
In a country where Chinese restaurants outnumber the leading fast food chains combined, this well-researched, fascinating look into Chinese American restaurant culture explores the true origins of fortune cookies, soy bean-less American soy sauce, who General Tsao actually was, and how Chinese food was transformed for the American palate. Journalist Jennifer 8. Lee delves into notions of culture and nationality, traveling across the world to create this most unusual history of the ubiquitous, rarely discussed American tradition of Chinese take-out.

Publisher's Note
Documents the author's research into the history of Chinese food as obtained while traveling throughout the country and the world, in an account during which she explored the role of immigration and assimilation on traditional cuisine, investigated a debate over the true inventor of chop suey, and discovered the tradition behind trapezoidal take-out containers. Reprint.
