Notes

Journalist Ann Hui drives across Canada to investigate why tiny Chinese restaurants dot even the most remote towns. Interweaving her own family’s story—her parents once ran the Legion Café—with dozens of other immigrant‑owner narratives, she traces the history, recipes, and cultural impact of “chop‑suey” cuisine. The book blends memoir, oral history, and food journalism to show how these eateries became a uniquely Canadian institution and a testament to immigrant resilience.
