Specifically we\u2019re going to talk about Egg Foo Young, a popular staple in Chinese American restaurants for generations. Egg Foo Young may not be as popular now as it used to be, but it still has a special place in the history of the Chinese diaspora. In this episode, we discuss the Cantonese dish\u2019s origin, it\u2019s adaptation in the U.S. and across the globe, and how Colonialism played a part in transforming it\u2026 yep, even with food, we need to talk about Colonialism. We begin the episode with some current events, and we end it with our recurring segment on What Are We Watching. Today on WAWW, we talk about Interior Chinatown (playing on Hulu and starring Jimmy O. Yang, Chloe Bennet, and more) and XO, Kitty (playing on Netflix and starring Anna Cathcart, Anthony Keyvan, and more).  If you like what we do, please share, follow, and like us in your podcast directory of choice or on Instagram @AAHistory101.
