#food#history#the location is significant imo#the fact that it opened in montana and not new york or california or any of the coastal states that feature prominently#in histories of american immigration#is a reminder that many chinese laborers were brought in#to work on the railroads that once crisscrossed the us#and they brought their food traditions with them when they arrived#the ingredients would've been different#and a lot of techniques would've necessarily been adjusted#to accommodate for the vagaries of their work and location#but it was a tiny bit of home they could recreate#and which they eventually shared through restaurants
