When Cowboy Chicken Came to Town (Sept. 3 Class)

In the story, “When Cowboy Chicken Came to Town,” the Chinese locals are introduced to American food, mainly greasy fried chicken. It was interesting to see that the town was excited about this new development and that business was booming. One couple even went as far to have their wedding reception held at the restaurant. I found an article about American food in China that had a slightly different outcome with the public. In this article, the seemingly American restaurants still had a Chinese twist on the foods, while in “Cowboy Chicken” it was totally American. I wonder if this depends on which region of China the restaurants are in, who runs the restaurants, or what groups of people one would ask about American food. As a food fanatic, I am always willing to learn more about different types of food in different parts of the world.
