Further Proof that the Best Chinese Food in America Is in Southern California
Linda Burum's piece in the Los Angeles Times today on all the terrific Shanghai-style food being served in the L.A. Basin made me realize once again why Los Angeles is where we can all eat the best Chinese food served in this country. Are there any dissenters on this issue?
New York has some pretty good Chinese food, but in its breadth and depth and sheer quality it can't really compare to the restaurants in southern California's San Gabriel Valley. Ditto for San Francisco. Other cities like Boston, Philadelphia, and Seattle may have small Chinatowns and the occasional upscale fancified Chinese restaurant (Susannah Foo's in Philadelphia comes to mind immediately), but none of them overall compare favorably with Los Angeles. Maybe some L.A.-based Serious Eater will host a Chinese restaurant crawl in L.A. That would be fun.
