Chinese chef Peng Chang-kue—the guy who created General Tso's Chicken—has joined the long list of beloved people the world has lost in 2016, Taiwan News reports.

The chicken dish can be traced back to 1952, when Peng first whipped up the golden ginger-garlic delight for a US Naval admiral named Arthur W. Rutherford. Rutherford asked Peng what the meal was called, and, in a stroke of inspiration, the chef decided to name it after respected Hunan war general Tso Tsung T'ang. The rest is history.

Godspeed, pure soul.

Peng is a god damn American treasure and I'm ordering Chinese tomorrow strictly because of this. I grew up crazy poor and Chinese food was our go to in our area because you could feed the family on 4 bucks.

I always assumed General Tso was an ancient Chinese hero who fought the Mongols or something cool like that. I am disappoint.

His chicken sucked and totally ruined Chinese food in America.

Seriously, next to Mexicans we have more Chinese immigrants than from any other country, and I can't find a halfway decent Chinese restaurant save but in New York and San Francisco?

frick that. He ruined cuisine in this country and fried everything. He's been an endless source of my frustration with American Chinese.

Anyone else watch the documentary on Netflix about General Tso chicken? They even made a stop at Trey Yeun in Hammond.

Dude you realize "Chinese food" as we know it isn't Chinese food at all it's almost entirely a menu catered to American preference

That's because you don't know where to go.

And you don't have to be a total homo in every thread.
