But with a timeline that includes violence, late 19th-century Bohemia, and modern political diplomacy, Chop Suey
exposes the cuisine’s extraordinary development in the West.
A Brooklyn resident and frequent patron of New York’s Chinese eateries, Coe is the Chinese food lover’s compass. Even though his motto is “Eat now, talk later,” he took a moment to tell us about his favorite spots in the
