Chow

Chow: Making the Chinese American Restaurant celebrated the birth and evolution of Chinese American restaurants, tracing their nearly 170-year history and sparking conversation about food culture, immigration, and what it means to be American. The MOFAD exhibit featured larger-than-life installations of 7,250 Chinese takeout boxes each representing seven of the nearly 50,000 Chinese American restaurants in the country, a stunning timeline of Chinese American restaurant menus dating back to 1910, and tastings created by the country's most talented chefs who specialize in Chinese American cuisine.
