My Personal Oral History Interview With The Chinese Historical Society of Southern California
To me it didn't seem that long ago when I did an oral history of my Grandfather Wong who came to the United States some 110 years ago. But in fact that was probably sometime in the 1970s, so I shouldn't have been surprised when the Chinese Historical Society of Southern California came along to do an oral history interview with me. This interview is a slight departure from the other postings on this blog since it does not directly have anything to do with Chinese food in America. But those of you familiar with my work know that to me, Chinese American history is inexplicably tied into Chinese food in America, and in fact you will probably will remember many of the episodes recounted here from being mentioned in my past food articles.
