Smithsonian Celebrates History of Chinese-American Food

Fans of Jennifer 8 Lee’s Fortune Cookie Chronicles may be interested in knowing that the Smithsonian American History Museum in Washington DC is featuring a showcase exploring the history of Chinese food in America: “Cedric Yea, the Smithsonian’s Chairman of Asian and Pacific American Initiatives, said, ‘It’s part of an ongoing project called the ‘Sweet and Sour Initiative’ where we are attempting to gather together stories of the Chinese in America through Chinese food and restaurants. We want to be able to talk about the importance of this restaurant and food experience and how it has meant so much more to the community than just a place to eat, to make money and to be able to survive and make a living.'”
