9/16/08: The Fortune Cookie Chronicles

Doug Fabrizio (2008-09-16)

Journalist Jennifer 8. Lee

SALT LAKE CITY, UT (kuer) - When the journalist Jennifer 8. Lee learned that fortune cookies weren't actually Chinese, she said it was like "learning I was adopted while being told there was no Santa Claus." Actually, many restaurant favorites like General Tso's Chicken or broccoli and lo mein have little to do with Chinese cuisine. Lee joins Doug to talk about the roots of Chinese food as we know it - and about just how American it really is. (Rebroadcast)
