Chinese Restaurateurs Gather in San Francisco to Celebrate 150 Years of Chinese Cuisine in America
NEWARK, Calif., Jan. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Chinese Restaurant News will reveal its 7th Annual Top 100 Chinese Restaurants Ranking in San Francisco on Monday, January 10. Celebrity Chef Martin Yan will host the first-ever public cooking show with top Chinese chefs on Sunday to kick off the festivities at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport.
It is the first time that the Top 100 Chinese Restaurants Award show takes place in the Bay Area. Winners of the Top 10 highest ranking Chinese restaurants will walk the red carpet to receive the honor. It is also the first time that the event includes a public cooking demonstration showcasing Chinese signature dishes. "I'm happy to see the Chinese chefs come out of their restaurant kitchens to cook in front of the public, and in front of my filming crew. As I often put it, Yan Can Cook, so can you!" said Chef Martin Yan.
With the theme of "The Future of Chinese Dining and Its 150-Year History in America," the event features an awards show, food carving, seminars, and a dine-around-town event in San Francisco, where Chinese cuisine originated in the U.S. "Chinese Restaurant News introduced the first Top 100 Chinese Restaurants award in 2004. It has since become a tradition of an annual gathering for Chinese restaurant folks in the U.S.," said Kung Yu, the magazine publisher.
The award show welcomes international chefs to San Francisco from around the world including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Canada & Australia, representing the diversity of Chinese cuisines.
On an average day, Americans consume 2.5 million meals prepared in Chinese restaurants. With over $21 billion in annual sales and 45,000 Chinese eateries in the U.S., Chinese cuisine has become part of the American diet. For more information, visit www.Top100ChineseRestaurants.com

第七届中餐百佳颁奖典礼主题
美国中餐发展前景暨150年历史回顾
19世纪40年代，美国“淘金热”吸引大批华工涌入。1849年12月20日，美国第一家中餐馆“Canton”在如今三藩的Stockton街上开门营业，向来自中国的淘金者和铁路工人提供炒菜chow chow，以缓解他们的思乡之情。中餐业也随之步入美国历史舞台。
经过150年的沧桑岁月，我们回到中餐发源地三藩，共庆中餐在美国的繁荣。如今，46,000余家中餐馆遍及美国各地；仅三藩市就有近千家中餐馆遍布大街小巷。
今天我们同名厨甄文达及湾区顶尖亚裔厨师齐聚厨房制造。一同追思美国中餐走过的风雨往昔，为数代中餐人筚路蓝缕，创造了今日成就而骄傲，更期待中餐再续辉煌，蓬勃发展，创造又一个150年的兴旺。
