Talk:American Chinese cuisine

message: I'm removing that part.  Firstly, the source is about some restaurants in RUSSIA.  Secondly, there is no significant reputation for dog and cat meat in American-Chinese restaurants. Sega31098 (talk) 23:21, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a significant reputation for it, although probably not a terribly justified one for over a century (and in the 19th century enlisted men were eating worse thanks to American industrialists). — LlywelynII 23:17, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dog and cat meat part 

message: Moved over from the Chinese Chinese cuisine article where it had no business at all. Certainly something should be said, although three sections on the topic is probably pushing unWP:DUE weight unless it's given its own subarticle. — LlywelynII 23:17, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

message: This is very interesting but given it's a marked departure from the rest of the article, would seem to belong as a separate article, and care must be taken not to commit SYNTH within it; I don't mean to suggest a POV fork but it's a very specific subtopic and there are no other sections like it.Skookum1 (talk) 22:03, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The section is consistent with what I know, and it is as well-sourced as the rest of the article, if not better.  Summary deletion is unwarranted, but it perhaps could be spun off as a separate article, though it will leave this article in worse condition, especially if it is not well-linked to the new spinoff.

replies: text: I didn't notice Llewellyn's previous comment when I made mine, but subarticle is what this seems to be best as.  Why not, for example, a Scandinavians and Chinese American food cuisine?  Given the prevalence and invention of the 'Chinese smorgasbord' in mill bunkhouses and logging camps, or various other ethnic interfaces conceivable.  It's not like Jewry and Chinese cuisine have a special relationship over any other; right now it looks like WP:UNDUE to me, at least in terms of its context relative to the rest of the article.Skookum1 (talk) 02:06, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: IMHO, this sections looks so close to the text referred to as "source". 7-MC (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 07:03, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

text: Dear ch, please do. I came to the talk page to suggest just that. The topic stands out and belongs in its own article. Thank you. -SusanLesch (talk) 20:31, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

text: Spinning it off as a separate article is reasonable; I share your other concerns about its content, which should be addressed there, probably with a complete rewrite.  Reify-tech (talk) 01:39, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Moo Goo Gai Pan 

message: Historically speaking, American Chinese cuisine refers to the cuisine created by the first wave of Chinese immigrant in Americans during the Qing Dynasty when Chinese labor came to the US to work in the gold mines near San Francisco and also the trans-Pacific railroads. Dishes such as Choy Suey were not known in China because they are created by these early immigrants. That tradition remains till today in many small town Chinatown. Big cities such as San Francisco and New York City got so many new immigrants since the 1970s that many authentic Chinese restaurants are established in these metropolitan areas. This article totally confuses the American Chinese cuisine that passed down from a century ago versus the new authentic Chinese restaurants that are brought here in the last decade. The segment about San Francisco in this article is evident that whoever wrote this article did not have the early Chinese immigrant culture in mind. I would suggest cleaning up this article to reflect the original early immigrant heritage instead of just an article about what food you can order now in San Francisco Chinatown. San Francisco has the oldest Chinatown in the US. So it was the birthplace of the American Chinese cuisine. But as pointed out in the article, you cannot even find Choy Suey in San Francisco Chinatown nowadays after all the authentic Chinese chefs have taken over. I am sure the original American Chinese cuisine can still be found in some remote areas with a smaller Chinese population. Hopefully some people from these small towns can contribute to this article if they can still order Choy Suey from their local restaurant.  In my opinion, no restaurant in San Francisco these days serve American Chinese cuisine anymore, such fact should be mentioned in this article. Kowloonese (talk) 03:59, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Authentic Chinese cuisine vs. American Chinese cuisine 

message: The section titled "American Chinese chain restaurants," needs a more reliable source than taking the information from a different wiki page, and on top of that I think there needs to be more information on each of the restaurants so it is more detailed to show relevance on the topic. There seems to be that there is less information under the "Regional American Chinese dishes," versus the other two dishes section, and I think that this area lacks information making it seem less important than the sections surrounding it. --Kuyadylan (talk) 02:47, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

message: Go down to the first list of American-Chinese dishes to Almond Chicken. Unlike the others on this list that take you to its own webpage, Almond Chicken goes back to American-Chinese cuisine. Either this link needs to be shut off as it is inaccurate and inconsistent (and put in that red-colored font) or come up with a webpage about Almond Chicken. Considering that there are two different types of Almond Chicken — "naked" (unbranded chicken pieces) and "ABC" (Almond Boneless Chicken breasts that's then sliced), a separate webpage is warranted.

message: Should the alternate name 'Chinese Food' be included in the article. This is the common name for Chinese-American cuisine and typically refers to the vernacular dishes common internationally rather than the cuisine of china. 209.6.33.2 (talk) 16:37, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Chinese Food' 

message: I recently moved my image of a Chinese-American restaurant to the top and I would like to articulate why I think that it's an image representative enough that it should be at the top of the article. Namely, the restaurant depicted is a clear illustration of the concept of "American Chinese cuisine", in fact, the title of this very article is written in big letters on top of it. While this article is mostly about the United States of America and how a diasporic Chinese cuisine developed there, this restaurant is in a rural district of the Hưng Yên Province of Vietnam. I think that this actually makes it more representative, as any individual restaurant in the United States of America wouldn't be able to capture the entire concept of Chinese-American food, but this restaurant's symbolism and imagery aren't intended for an American audience (being in a rural district of a backwater province in Northern Vietnam and all) and this is also clearly illustrated in the logo of the restaurant which shows a spoon, fork (well, actually it's a trident), and a pair of chopsticks. Chinese cuisine (like Vietnamese cuisine) exclusively use chopsticks for consumption (though a special type of spoon is used for soups), while forks and spoons are more associated with "regular American" cuisine. The photographed restaurant therefore captures a good illustration of this concept without singling out any particular foods. 
This is why I think that this image perfectly captures the concept of "Chinese American cuisine" quite well. --Donald Trung (talk)  22:24, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
