Sweet. Crispy. Sticky. Completely misunderstood.
This week on The 'Sader Digest, Brad tells the incredible story of General Tso's chicken, a dish that's become synonymous with Chinese takeout despite having a history that's anything but straightforward.
Discover how one chef's journey from China to Taiwan and eventually New York transformed a banquet dish into an American icon. Along the way, Brad explores the myths behind General Tso himself, why the recipe changed so dramatically, and what this famous dish teaches us about immigration, culture, and the ever-changing definition of authenticity.
