I am an African American of Chinese ancestry my dad's family came to build the railroads and settled in NC. My grandfather gave up much of his culture when he decided to marry the daughter of the town's Baptist minister and join the town's small black elite, but we still have his mother's good wok, and we still make fairly decent Chinese meals in it on Sunday. One day I am going to go to China town not as a tourist but as a seeker of the things my family left behind.
Chinatowns throughout the U. S. are a part of the American culture and what makes us so diversified! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊
There are Chinatowns in many cities around the world.
Thank you for sharing.
❤ Grace’s book is like Julia’s Childs Master the Art of French Cooking. It’s my bible as a Hong Kong born gal who grew up in SF Chinatown. I’m grateful for Grace’s heart, devotion, and love for Chinatowns across the United States. Seriously, if you are looking to learn about Cantonese food through her family stories and mouth watering photos, buy this book.
In her book, she talks about the meaning of rice which answered the question of why Chinese families usually buy rice in 50-pound bags.
Never knew so much about the wok.
Wok on the wild side
I love this lady. She is giving back to help keep business owners in business. And she is so funny about her Woks.
I used a small steel wok in a hotel with a hot plate! Works best with prepared meats.
4:23 Of course, the check number is 8888. The number 8 is viewed as such an auspicious number that even being assigned a number with several eights is considered very lucky. The number 8 (八, pinyin: bā; Cantonese Yale: baat) sounds like "發" (pinyin: fā; Cantonese Yale: faat; lit. 'to prosper').
Best comment! Thank you. From my view as a Christian, The number 8, 八, is new beginning. Very appropriate and golden for gracious lady Grace and Chinatowns. All these stories weave our shared tapestry on the American loom. 發 God bless.
Love this segment!
Grace is the only mamma that will wok the line. She woks the tok. And of course there's Aerosmith, Aerosmith/Run DMC: Wok this way! These cultures are our shared American heritage.
To me the main reason Chinatown is dying is because the younger generation don't work or shop at Chinatown. Chinatown has always been more for older generations and new Chinese immigrants. In the past poor Chinese immigrants go there to work due to language barriers to make up the difference of younger generation not willing to work there. But the new Chinese immigrants recently don't have the same culture as the old Chinatown immigrants as well. Different. Most recent Chinese immigrants aren't poor and also aren't sololy from Southern region like the ones in the past. Also many new Chinese immigrants considered Chinatown to be out if style and dirty.
It's sad Chinatown is dying but Chinatown is also like time capsule of the old. The area is aging and also due to high cost of rent affect the factor of it's decline. Chinatown used to be cheap and safe place for poor immigrants but not anyway more.
With 45% of the population of San Francisco being Asian it is safe to say that the whole city is now Chinatown. It feels that way.
It's not the whole city. We simply have four Chinatowns in San Francisco: original, Clement Street, Irving Street, and Noriega Street.
San Francisco is actually 33% Asian and 25% Chinese.
