Served where. I first had Chinese food in the 1960s. It was all
Cantonese. The Chinese food served in restaurants around here has
changed over the years. They have a wider variety of regional dishes.
The bar for Chinese food was raised for me last year when I had Chinese
food in San Francisco. Holy cow!! It was amazing.
