Well we should start with some mutton stew with bread.

我们先该尝尝羊肉泡馍。

Okay great. Oh could we get a few lamb skewers too?

Hey, what's this? It kind of looks like a hamburger!

That's "roujiamo". Actually, a lot of people do call it the Chinese Hamburger. I just call it delicious.

Shaanxi food in America 

美国的陕西菜

Even though there is a lot of Chinese food in America, in the past it hasn't always tasted like the Chinese food you can find in China. These days, that is changing: more and more restaurants sell authentic food from all over The Middle Kingdom. For example, Xi'an Famous Foods is a very popular restaurant in New York City that sells noodles, roujiamo, and other delicious Shaanxi food. Originally it was a bubble tea shop, but overtime the owners decided to focus on the kind of foods their grandfather used to make back in Shaanxi. Xi'an Famous Foods is not only very popular among overseas Chinese and students, but also with local Americans. It is so popular, in fact, that today, they have opened twelve restaurants all around New York City.

虽然美国有很多中国菜，但这些菜品的味道却不是很正宗。最近，这种情况却有所改善，越来越多的中国菜馆的供应的中国菜肴开始正宗起来了。比如说，西安名菜，就是纽约城非常有名的一个餐馆，他们出售面条、肉夹馍以及其他一些陕西名菜。最初是一家奶茶店，但后来，店主决定供应之前祖父在陕西做过的菜品。西安名菜不仅在海外华人和留学生之间很受欢迎，当地美国人也很喜欢。因为太受欢迎，如今他们在纽约开了十二家分店。
