Book sees Chinese street food evolving into massive trade

WASHINGTON - Howie Southworth and his friend Greg Matza, two bestselling food authors and devoted foodies from the United States, have been eating their way through China for over two decades. Soon after their culinary journeys began, both fell in love with the country's street food.

To tell the fascinating story of their street food adventures in China, this dynamic duo wrote an entertaining cookbook called Chinese Street Food.

"It was an amazing opportunity to write a book such as this," Southworth said at a book release event recently hosted by the Confucius Institute of George Washington University.
