Find A Good Chinese Restaurant
Letter to Newsweek Magazine
Dear editor:
Jennie Yabroff, in her March 10th Newsweek article, Lo Mein Street, USA, brings out some very interesting statistics about one of the many ethnic food loves of the American public. While steak and potatoes, or fried chicken and cornbread may be standard fare for so many in our diverse population, an overwhelming number of Americans eat and love Italian pizza, Jewish pastrami on rye, Swedish meatballs, Japanese sushi, Russian borscht, Chinese chicken chow mein, etc. This is because we are a diverse group of immigrant families who have brought our tastes and fare with us from our (or our ancestors) native lands.
However Ms. Yabroff left out one important fact about Chinese restaurants that most discerning people know. Want to find a good Chinese restaurant? Go to a Jewish neighborhood.
