The essays in Chop Suey and Sushi from Sea to Shining Sea fill gaps in existing food studies by revealing and contextualizing the hidden, local histories of Chinese and Japanese restaurants in the US. These essays show how the taste and presentation of Chinese and Japanese dishes have evolved in hardship over generations of immigrants who became restaurant owners, chefs, and labourers across America.
