There is a long-held belief that the dish was born in either [[San Fransisco]], by [[Chinese]] immigrants who came to California in search of work; or [[New York]], as a result of Chinese ambassador Li Hung Chang's cooks, who invented the dish for his American guests at a dinner on 29 August, 1896. However, it would appear as if chop suey's roots can be traced back to the Toisan region of Canton, [[China]] and was probably introduced to the U.S. by immigrants from that region, who then made use of local vegetables in their dish.<ref> [http://www.foodreference.com/html/fchopsuey.html CHOP SUEY - History and Origin] </ref> <ref> [http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20060823/news_lz1f23slice.html Chop suey's origins go way back]</ref>
