They come to America not because they are iron chefs or franchises trying to expand their business, they come for better standards of living. So you really can’t expect these people to cook good food :p it’s like if you took someone living out of a trailer park and ask them to open American restaurants. These labels might seem harsh but it is the reality of things. My family comes from a big city in China, and in a way look down on these Chinese immigrants b/c the Chinese food they make here are simply trash. and I can’t believe it’s so hard for some Americans to grasp the simple logic of why american style chinese food is different. Sure it’s somewhat catered to American taste, but some of the one’s i’ve tried are disgusting( too much msg/ gutter oil) left me feeling nauseous… much more dangerous than the chinese food in china. well enough of the rant. cheers ]]>
