Chinese Takeout in BaghdadPosted Aug 11th 2005 2:21PM by Karina LongworthFiled under: Closings, Restaurants, Business, MSG, Far EastA few weeks after the fall of Baghdad, Chen Xianzhong opened the first authentic Chinese restaurant in post-Sadaam Iraq. His only competition? A rival joint in the Green Zone whose proprietors he writes off as "amateurs" whilst intimating that the restaurant doubles as a massage parlor. Everything was going great for awhile - until a suicide bombing "spewed body parts into the dining room." Now Chen and a few workers prepare take-out from the top of his Chinese goods emporium for a few regulars who got hooked on his food before choas wrecked his business. Craig S. Smith has more in the New York Times.
