These restaurants initially served foods like pork chops dishes,apple dishes bean and egg dishes and changes were made in the food to suit more American palate.These Chinese immigrants first gave their catering services to miners and railroad workers and they introduced their Chinese food by adapting local ingredients to the peoples who are unfamiliar to these kind of foods.
