The NYT Is A Little Late To Hunan Tea Party
Ah, our friends at the Times finally got around to reviewing the Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook by Fuchsia Dunlop. Of course we aired Fuchsia's General Tso's Chicken cooking video along with her terrific running commentary back in February.

Great, now that the New York Times has covered it, the prices for General Tso's Chicken are going to skyrocket! You know what happened to Williamsburg...

Heh, heh. General Tso. My girlfriend's dad is a Chinese translator in San Francisco, and, so she tells me, at one point he translated some newsletter from a Chinese restaurant-owners association. There was some item in it that noted that gweilo consumption of anything prepended with general's name skyrocketed. It recommended creating "General Tso's Lobster," and "General Tso's Shrimp," among others. Heh.

I would like to see stinky tofu sneakily renamed "General Tso's Tofu", mainly to see people's faces when they smell it.
