Happy Chinese New Year! As we enter into the Year of the Dragon, everyone is looking forward to a bright and prosperous year ahead. The Year of the Dragon is the luckiest year in the Chinese zodiac and this one is even better. “This Year of the Dragon also aligns with the water element, which represents intelligence and wisdom,” says Alan Wong, general manager of the restaurant Kung Fu Plaza in Las Vegas. “In feng shui, water also represents luck and money, making the rest of 2012 and the beginning of 2013 especially promising.” As the longest and most important festivity in the Chinese calendar, many countries all over Asia will be celebrating and observing traditions during the 15-day celebration. China, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia,...

If you follow any cooks and chefs whatsoever, you probably have heard the name Paula Deen. She is a Savannah, Georgia, caterer turned restaurateur turned cooking show host. She has had several shows in fact, including Paula’s Home Cooking and Paula’s Party. The initial appeal of Deen was her rags to riches story. After her husband left her, she started a catering business in Savannah for $200 that primarily sold sack-lunches.

But just because Deen is the queen of Southern cooking and anti-chef of the Food Network (being self-taught), that doesn’t mean she eats fried food daily. In fact, although...

It started in Portland a few years ago when Ricker decided to bring a taste of Southeast Asia (North and Northeast Thailand) to Portland. The creations he made were surprisingly good for a non-Thai native, but maybe not surprising for someone who has studied the cuisine for 20 years in Thailand. It’s not uncommon for him to invest as much as one full year learning a single dish. And this is very likely the reason The New York Times called Ricker the ambassador for Thai food in the United States. “It might...

When KungFu Restaurant was founded in 1973 on 3rd and Fremont street in downtown Las Vegas, we had enough seats for 25 guests and a takeout counter. Back then Las Vegas was very different. Everyone who came to Vegas visited Downtown, Nixon was in office, Bruce Lee became the first Asian starring in a lead Motion Picture production film “Enter the Dragon”, and people thought Thai was something you wore around your neck. But Chinese? Almost everyone knew China, and that to enjoy Chinese cuisine meant you had to eat rice with chopsticks. Thanks to Bruce everyone started to practice “Kung Fu” thinking it was some kind of an ancient warrior dance. Little does the average person realize that “Kung Fu” – or “Gong...
