Book Synopsis Chinese Restaurants in Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley: Spaces of Change and Permanence by : Amanda Jacqueline Lanza
Download or read book Chinese Restaurants in Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley: Spaces of Change and Permanence written by Amanda Jacqueline Lanza and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivated by Chinese, Hong Kongese, and Taiwanese dining experiences in Los Angeles as well as my professional experience as a chef and community events producer, I seek to identify the functions and roles of Chinese, Hong Kongese, Taiwanese and Chinese diaspora restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley and larger Los Angeles region.The research was grounded in the theoretical foundations of free and third places and Bourdieu's framework of taste. I incorporate elements from each construct to develop a new framework that connects directly to the dining context. The research methods include semi-structured interviews and data collection from historic and contemporary food publications. This work focuses on the relationships patrons have with restaurants and how these spaces function in regards to guests and community.Chinese restaurants in Los Angeles serve as spaces where the family unfolds and patrons can strengthen their friendly and familial connections. Dining in Chinese restaurants provides an educational experience and allows Chinese Americans to connect with their Asian American identities and ancestral traditions and practices. As both a third place and free space, patrons transcend class barriers and come together in a collective space to enjoy specialty cuisines. For patrons of Chinese restaurants, taste and preferences did not dictate class barriers but more so transnational trends and heritage.
Download or read book Chop Suey, USA written by Yong Chen and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American diners began to flock to Chinese restaurants more than a century ago, making Chinese food the first mass-consumed cuisine in the United States. By 1980, it had become the country's most popular ethnic cuisine. Chop Suey, USA offers the first comprehensive interpretation of the rise of Chinese food, revealing the forces that made it ubiquitous in the American gastronomic landscape and turned the country into an empire of consumption. Engineered by a politically disenfranchised, numerically small, and economically exploited group, Chinese food's tour de America is an epic story of global cultural encounter. It reflects not only changes in taste but also a growing appetite for a more leisurely lifestyle. Americans fell in love with Chinese food not because of its gastronomic excellence but because of its affordability and convenience, which is why they preferred the quick and simple dishes of China while shunning its haute cuisine. Epitomized by chop suey, American Chinese food was a forerunner of McDonald's, democratizing the once-exclusive dining-out experience for such groups as marginalized Anglos, African Americans, and Jews. The rise of Chinese food is also a classic American story of immigrant entrepreneurship and perseverance. Barred from many occupations, Chinese Americans successfully turned Chinese food from a despised cuisine into a dominant force in the restaurant market, creating a critical lifeline for their community. Chinese American restaurant workers developed the concept of the open kitchen and popularized the practice of home delivery. They streamlined certain Chinese dishes, such as chop suey and egg foo young, turning them into nationally recognized brand names.
Book Synopsis China to Chinatown by : J.A.G. Roberts
Download or read book China to Chinatown written by J.A.G. Roberts and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2004-07-04 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China to Chinatown tells the story of one of the most notable examples of the globalization of food: the spread of Chinese recipes, ingredients and cooking styles to the Western world. Beginning with the accounts of Marco Polo and Franciscan missionaries, J.A.G. Roberts describes how Westerners’ first impressions of Chinese food were decidedly mixed, with many regarding Chinese eating habits as repugnant. Chinese food was brought back to the West merely as a curiosity. The Western encounter with a wider variety of Chinese cuisine dates from the first half of the 20th century, when Chinese food spread to the West with emigrant communities. The author shows how Chinese cooking has come to be regarded by some as among the world’s most sophisticated cuisines, and yet is harshly criticized by others, for example on the grounds that its preparation involves cruelty to animals. Roberts discusses the extent to which Chinese food, as a facet of Chinese culture overseas, has remained differentiated, and questions whether its ethnic identity is dissolving. Written in a lively style, the book will appeal to food historians and specialists in Chinese culture, as well as to readers interested in Chinese cuisine.

Book Synopsis From Canton Restaurant to Panda Express by : Haiming Liu
Download or read book From Canton Restaurant to Panda Express written by Haiming Liu and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-09 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The story of Chinese Americans through the lens of food. From Canton Restaurant in 1849 to Panda Express today, Chinese food history in America spans over 150 years. Chinese 'Forty-niners' were mostly merchants and restaurateurs who migrated here not to dig gold but to do trade. Racism against the Chinese slowed down the growth of the Chinese restaurant business in the late 19th century, but it made a rebound in the format of chop suey. From 1900 to the 1960s, chop suey as imagined authentic Chinese food attracted numerous American customers including Jewish Americans as its collective fan. Then the real Chinese food such as Hunan, Sichuan or Shanghai cuisine replaced chop suey houses in the 1970s following the arrival of new Chinese immigrants after immigration reform in 1965. Those regional-flavored Chinese restaurants were brought in and established by immigrants from Taiwan rather than mainland China. As Chinese restaurants in America turned Chinese in flavor, P.F. Chang's and Panda Express rose fast in the 1990s to meet the need of constantly changing and often multi-ethnically blended eating habits of American customers. Chinese food in America is a fascinating history about both Chinese and Americans. Embedded in this history is the story of human migration, culinary tradition, racial politics, ethnic identity, cultural negotiation, Chinese Diaspora and transnational life, and Chinese cuisine as a global food. Though a scholarly work, this book aims at all readers who are interested in food history and culture"--Provided by publisher
