History of Chop Seuy
Like many others, the origin story of chop suey appears in several variations. Another is that one of the first Chinese restaurants to open in San Francisco during the Gold Rush was the site of chop suey’s invention. The story goes that one night in 1849, a group of drunk miners piled into Macao and Woosung restaurant. They were hungry. They called out for food. The owner was tired and ready to close up, so instead of whipping up dishes from scratch, he scraped scraps of food from previous customers’ plates and served it to the miners. They loved it. And like that, chop suey was invented.
