    I’m a white boy but in highschool my best friend was 1st-generation Chinese-American.

    His parents owned a Chinese restaurant that I worked at…Americanized Chinese, like everyone in America is used to.

    While I worked there his parents also opened up an authentic Chinese restaurant.

    Most of the stuff on the menu, Americans would ball at. There were dead ducks and pigs hanging in the window.

    But I tried cow tongue there for the first time. It was amazing. And something else with white sauce I don’t remember what it was but it was so damn good.

    I had a falling out with him, and the parents lost their restaurants in COVID.
