      @ins0mniak @p I wish they weren't so hard to find. I love authentic ethnic food.

      @chillanarchist01 @p Right? East Coast has plenty of Chinese places but very few authentic ones.

      They like to Americanize stuff which makes for over sweet sauce and such

      > They like to Americanize stuff

      Part of that is because it's an American market, but part of that is that the Chinese food in this country diverged. Descendants of railroad workers a hundred years ago approximating things with the ingredients available, then they became dishes on their own. American pizza versus Italian pizza.

      > I don't buy that. That might have been the case in the past, but modern Chinese restaurants are owned/staffed by modern Chinese immigrants.

      Once the divergence happens, it reinforces itself. In this case, most "Chinese" food is SF-style Cantonese food.

      Sometimes they are owned or staffed by first-generation immigrants, but in either case, because one type predominates, they go to the market and they can buy things for that, they can order from the local restaurant suppliers, etc. Here there are a lot of Chinese markets, so people running restaurants can go in and the butcher cuts the pig up the way you expect in a Chinese kitchen, they've got ducks and whatnot, the dry goods section of the market has all the Sichuan and Hunan peppers that you can't get in most of the country, but the east coast, you can't buy that stuff quite as readily.

      But "authentic Chinese food" is also somewhat nebulous, it's like an authentic hotdog. I don't really like Cantonese food as much, even the real stuff, but real Sichuan, real Hunan, real Beijing stuff is great. Two of my favorite places closed down, unfortunately, due to the 'Rona lockdowns. One was a place called "Beijing Pie House", they had Beijing-style dumplings and meat pies, it was incredible.

      @p @ins0mniak I don't buy that. That might have been the case in the past, but modern Chinese restaurants are owned/staffed by modern Chinese immigrants. And the Americanized stuff is demonstrably trash compared to the authentic recipes (which I've been, on occasion, blessed to find being used).

      @Hoss @chillanarchist01 @ins0mniak If it's the giardiniera peppers, then yes, those things make anything taste amazing. That guide calls the bacon-wrapped dog with grilled peppers and pickled jalpenos a "Tijuana", but I've only ever heard it called a "danger dog" (probably because it sounds like "Dodger dog" and also because they usually come from grey-market food carts), those are top-tier.

      @Hoss @ins0mniak @p I don't think I've had a proper Chicago dog. When I lived in NJ and my dad would take me on errands with him, sometimes we'd go to NYC and I'd order a "gross dog":
      Ketchup
      Mustard
      Kraut
      Relish
      Beans

      I don't eat 'em like that anymore, mostly because I find ketchup to be disgusting these days.

      @p @chillanarchist01 @ins0mniak There are Chinese immigrant organizations in the US that help new immigrants with jobs and training. It's very common to see a Chinese national arrive with no skillset whatsoever, receive training as a line cook in a Cantonese-style establishment, and be off.

      @Hoss @ins0mniak @chillanarchist01 Oh, I usually do the deli mustard, mix it with some hot sauce. Had some coarse mustard, it seems to be getting cheaper, that stuff was pretty good, but the weird fluctuations in meat prices have shaken out such that I haven't had sausage in a while.
