The difference is that in New York they’re cooking for us. Here they’re cooking for themselves. Jonathan Gold, quoted in this week’s New Yorker, talking about the difference between Chinese food in New York and Los Angeles.  Add that to your arsenal of cultural comparisons next time you get sucked into that old “NY vs. LA” debate.  New York gets the American Chinese food.  Los Angeles gets the Chinese Chinese food.

Not universally true in either direction in either city.
