Review of: From Canton Restaurant to Panda Express: A History of Chinese Food in the United States	2018	4	.pdf	application/pdf	1499	80	56	Chapter 4 describes how the enduring stereotypes of Chinese food are embodied by the dish “chop suey,” an invention in the US that became a mainstay of Chinese American food and is even today an icon of its identity.
