In that vein, I recommend "The Search for General Ts'o", a documentary about Chinese food in America. It's quite funny and launched me on a quest for the best General Ts'o recipe. I won't spoil the joy of the hunt for you but I assure you, it's out of this world.

What's the best recipe?

I'm a huge fan of General Ts'o chicken so always on the look out for a good one!

Chef Peng's is the original, and vastly different from what they serve in the USA...

It has come full circle. My coworker from Shanghai was telling me how the last time he went home, one of the hottest restaurants on the scene's signature dish was (American style) General Tso's. I kind of love the cultural apparatuses that have resulted in a dish traveling from Taiwan to NYC to the greater United States to mainland China.

This reminds me of how Americano coffee (IIRC an Italian innovation to imitate American-style coffee) is now served in some coffeeshops in the US, in addition to the original American-style filter coffee.
