Lazy Susan

Lazy Susan is the new go-to Chinese take-out restaurant. Designed for the way we live today and our desire for delicious food without compromising convenience, health, or price. Lazy Susan is a contemporary approach to 25 favorite Chinese American dishes. Lazy Susan was inspired by the turntable most commonly found at Chinese restaurants throughout the world. Though synonymous with Chinese restaurants, Thomas Jefferson was in fact credited with the invention of a device like lazy susan. In the 1960s, the trendsetting Kans Restaurant in San Francisco Chinatown and Mings in Palo Alto featured lazy susans in its grand dining rooms and large tables. Soon thereafter, many throughout the country and the world followed suit. Here is this American invention thats known globally as Chinese Lazy Susan perfectly captures the duality of the American-ness *and* Chinese-ness of dishes like Beef Chow Mein, Crab Rangoon, and General Tsos Chicken. We proudly celebrate the 100+ year history of Chinese food in America.
