Chi Restaurant’s Chinese Mushrooms Conjure Cool Ranch Doritos | Eater NY
"At Spy C in Forest Hills I learned how Tom Lo first encountered his partner: after a 24-hour hospital shift he stumbled in and ordered the number two special — General Tso’s chicken with pork fried rice and an egg roll — but it was the cucumber salad that stopped him cold; he remembers thinking, “this is the best cucumber salad I’ve ever had,” and feeling compelled to meet the chef. That tongue-tingling cucumber preparation later reappears on Chi’s menu and serves as a throughline in their cooking." - Daniel Meyer
