In old  photos of downtown Chicago, it looks like the really exotic
places to eat  are "chop suey" restaurants. No Mexican or anything  more
specialized.>>>>>>>
 
Looks like chop suey restaurants were a favorite of Edward Hopper,
one of my favorite American painters:

My mother, who always had her lunch on shopping days in  Minneapolis
at the "Nankin" Restaurant, but ordered "chow mein" instead.   She always
said that chop suey was ordinary, and chow mein was the  gourmets'
choice for Chinese food.  That always came with egg fooyoung,  of
course.
