    I’m sure someone has tried it, but it would be interesting if a Chinese American whose family has been running a Chinese restaurant in the US for a century opened up a location in Hong Kong.

    I wonder if the locals would snub it, or find it kitchy and charming.

        Which is accurate, but Philip Chiang (cofounder) is a first-generation immigrant whose mother helped bring other-than-Cantonese Chinese cuisine to American restaurants. It’s not like a bunch of white dudes were sitting down to appropriate a foreign food culture.
