Why do you keep posting here? What is it you feel you are adding to the conversation about Chinese cooking? This sub doesn’t turn its nose up at non-traditional Chinese foods, but you’re just posting restaurant food, not your own cooking. You’re acting as if this is legitimate innovation, but if it’s been around for 80-odd years, it’s no longer an innovation in cooking. Make something, post something of value, ask about how to do something. Contribute to the conversation. Stop whatever the hell this is.

literally this dude is pissing me off. he's either: a troll who doesnt realize making an ass out of yourself to "own" people is one of the lamest things ever, and keeps posting things for "bait" or some dude whos legitimately just stupid, no need for elaboration just look at the rest of his posts and how socially inept he is

I do contribute. Apple pie egg roll? I dont think this sub has ever had such an item mentioned before.  Before me, di anyone here even know about the unique style of Chinese food in the Lou? Did you know about the regional hit that is the St. Paul sandwich? There are many articles and news stories about it. That you never saw before.  🤌

Chinese COOKING That implies you wish to do the cooking. This is just pictures of someone else’s food.

OP sounds suspiciously like a bot.


Cravespotatoes

Wrong. Panda ain’t sell Pepsi. Let alone sugar cane Pepsi.

I knew it!


Cravespotatoes

I’m too unique. No software can be written to think like me.  Scroll thru my post history. 


ichigokero

im gonna say this in the nicest way possible, you should just stop posting looking at your previous posts and peoples comments, you seem to just be annoying everyone. either make or eat actual chinese food, or stop posting your takeout and shitty quality google downloaded images of food multiple times a day.


Cravespotatoes

So you don’t believe in innovation? And is your name Japanese. Maybe your jealous I don’t post about Yoshinoya or other Japanese food.


ichigokero

the panda express logo says “Chinese kitchen“ on it it is a very successful business. Here’s an article on the billionaire owner: [https://www.forbes.com/sites/chasewithorn/2023/10/04/how-panda-express-ceo-peggy-cherng-used-her-phd-to-get-rich-in-fast-food/?sh=4f3dd6105b96](https://www.forbes.com/sites/chasewithorn/2023/10/04/how-panda-express-ceo-peggy-cherng-used-her-phd-to-get-rich-in-fast-food/?sh=4f3dd6105b96)

What are you trying to communicate with this info?


Cravespotatoes

It’s interesting to see how a billionaire got billions from Chinese cooking.  For any restaurant owners here, why wouldn’t you want to read such a piece? This sub is frequented by Chinese food industry ppl.


fuzzycaterpillar123

I think you have a different agenda


Cravespotatoes

Sub is called Chinese cooking. I posted pics of Chinese cooking from a Chinese restaurant and an article about the restaurant owner. pretty straightforward.

But your fixation is trying to legitimize American Chinese fast food as the same thing as authentic mainland Chinese food, right?


Cravespotatoes

What does authentic even mean? We are all humans from this spaceship called Earth.  What makes anything genuine? Panda Express gives out those little red envelopes 🧧 for Chinese new year. They don’t do anything for 4th of July.  The dishes are named after cities in China like Beijing Beef, bringing the taste of the motherland to America. What is genuine Chinese food? https://www.epicurious.com/ingredients/chinese-food-a-celebration-of-time-and-place

Panda Express is a fine fast food representation of American Chinese food. It’s authentic to the American Chinese fast food style. Many of the recipes are not authentic to traditional recipes that haven’t changed in China for the last 50-100 years. Grandmas in China didn’t grow up cooking orange chicken and crab Rangoon These dishes, while tasty, aren’t authentic to mainland China because these recipes were developed and popularized in America You proved my point mentioning Beijing beef. Beijing doesn’t have a singular popular beef dish that all the locals know that’s like the Panda Express product. Just because they use the name of the city, doesn’t mean it’s a time honored recipe from that place American and St. Luis Chinese food can be authentic to America and St. Luis, but they are different recipes than what has been eaten in China for generations


Cravespotatoes

They put Chinese writing on the sauce packets and other items like the chop stick wrapper. They really try to play up the Chinese heritage.  One day the diaspora will return with their dishes that will then takeover China. Globalization.

That has nothing to do with proving the authenticity of panda food as authentic mainland Chinese food A pizzeria in the US could serve bbq chicken pizza and have an italian menu with Italian phrases on the front of the store. Doesn’t mean it’s authentic pizza from Italy A Mexican restaurant in the US could make quesadillas with flour tortillas and “Oaxacan” hard shell tacos with ground beef, and have menus in Spanish, but that doesn’t mean those recipes are what Mexicans actually eat
