...that no one has heard of the dish (although a local official thinks the association would be a great way to generate tourism). But just as the demographics of America have been transformed, so has the business of Chinese-American food today. Top restaurant chain P.F. Chang's China Bistro was actually founded by one Paul Fleming, its name derived from Fleming's initials and an alternative spelling of consultant Phillip Chiang's surname. The largest distributor of soy-sauce packets in the U.S., Kari-Out, is owned by a Jewish family in New York City (and Kari...
...became cool for famous chefs to make burgers in 2001, when Daniel Boulud, James Beard Outstanding Chef of the Year, opened his casual DB Bistro Moderne and sold a $27 hamburger: ground sirloin stuffed with braised short ribs, foie gras and truffles. As much as I love Boulud's cooking, I found it disgusting--a gooey mess of indistinguishable, nauseating fat. I was, once again, alone: it now accounts for 30% of the bistro's food sales.

At No. 13, for example, you can see an external wooden staircase dating back to 1870. Stop for Italian-style antipasti at Lysy Pingwin bistro, 11 Zabkowska Street, tel: (48-22) 616 02 56, or for a sandwich at the antiques-furnished W Oparach Absurdu café, which also has live concerts starting at 8 p.m. on weekends (6 Zabkowska Street, tel: (48-22) 660 780 319; www.oparyabsurdu.pl). On your left...
...Suburbanites are most likely to visit websites for national chain restaurants such as Hard Rock Cafe, Macaroni Grill or P.F. Chang's China Bistro. Perhaps the commute home from work leaves less time to cook, making the convenience of eating out more popular. In contrast, rural Internet users seem more likely to be cooking in the home, with recipe-rich sites such as Food & Wine Magazine, Recipes.com and FoodTV website "Cooking with Paula Deen" dominating the list...
