"Chow: Making the Chinese American Restaurant"

"Chow: Making the Chinese American Restaurant" at the Museum of Food and Drink

Despite the fact that Chinese-Americans were once told that they didn't belong in the United States, they would later go on to establish the Western version of one of the world's most beloved cuisines. The Museum of Food and Drink exhibit "Chow: Making the Chinese American Restaurant" celebrates the birth and evolution of Chinese-American restaurants, tracing their nearly 170-year history and sparking conversation about food culture, immigration and what it means to be American. Even your taste buds will enjoy this exhibit, with stops at the Fortune Cookie Machine and tasting opportunities by the country's most talented Chinese-American chefs in the Culinary Studio.
