Due to the gold rush in California, the first Chinese restaurants in the United States began popping upwith the intention of serving the Cantonese workers. These little hole-in-the-wall restaurants popped up all over and were called “chow-chow houses”...these restaurants had two menus, one for the Chinese and another for the Americans. Over time, the American menu became dominant and is what remains today in major Chinese restaurants. Often open late at night and providing delivery when other restaurants were less likely to, the option for Chinese takeout became particularly popular throughout the 1970s...By 1980, Chinese food had become the most popular ethnic food in the United States.
