message: *In the South Park episode "The China Probrem," Cartman and Butters dress up as stereotypical Chinese children and go to P. F. Chang's to try and trick the Chinese people there into telling them when the "invasion" is set to occur.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.131.16.201 (talk) 00:37, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Please edit the first 3 paragraphs to read
P. F. Chang's China Bistro is an American-based, Asian-themed, casual dining restaurant chain founded in 1993 by Paul Fleming and Philip Chiang. The first P.F. Chang’s restaurant opened that same year in Scottsdale, Arizona, which is also the site of the company headquarters. . P.F. Chang’s was acquired by Centerbridge Partners in 2012. The company was sold to TriArtisan Capital Advisors on March 2, 2019. 
The inspiration of the restaurant chain was planted when Chiang, a recent art school graduate, agreed to fill in as chef and owner of The Mandarin in San Francisco during the restaurant’s owner and chef’s extended trip to China.  That owner was Chiang’s mother, Cecilia Chiang, a James Beard Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award-winner credited with introducing traditional Chinese cuisine to America. (citation)
The chain specializes in American Chinese cuisine, plus other Asian dishes. Employees describe the menu as "Asian flavors." As of 2019, Chang's operated 216 restaurants in the United States (citation) and more than 100 in international markets under licensee agreements. Countries include Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama, Turkey, Lebanon, Philippines, South Korea, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, and the United Kingdom.
The edits add a little more context to the origins of the company and update the number of locations to 2019 numbers.
Thanks,
