A food writer with a particular passion for Chinese cuisine, Andrew Coe has dined in Chinese restaurants around the world, and has been eating in New York's Chinatown almost all of his life. One day on Mott Street, he asked himself, "What happened to all
the chop suey restaurants?" That query turned into an article, which
snowballed into a book: Chop Suey: A Cultural History of Chinese Food in the United States. When he isn´t in Manhattan’s Chinatown, he usually can be found in the Chinatowns of Queens or Brooklyn.
Andrew has written for Saveur, Gastronomica, and the New York Times. He is a coauthor of Foie Gras: A Passion, and has contributed to the Oxford Companion to American Food and Drink. He has a B.A. from John Hopkins University. Andrew lives in Brooklyn, New York.
