                                                              History of Crab Ragoon

 St Louis-Crab Ragoon was invented in the United States by Joe Young working under Victor Bergeron, the founder of Trader Vic's. A "Rangoon crab a la Jack" was mentioned as a dish at a Hawaiian-style party in 1952, As of 2022, Crab Ragoon is officially 70 years old and selling better than ever.

Crab Rangoon, often called crab puffs,crab rangoon , or cheese wontons, are fried & filled crispy appetizers that are primarily served in American Chinese restaurants. The appetizer's filling is made with a combination of ingredients that includes cream cheese, crab meat or imitation crab meat, scallions or onion, garlic, and other flavorings. A small amount of the combo-filling filling is wrapped in each wonton wrapper. The ragoon is then shaped by either folding the wrapper over into a triangle, by creating a four-pointed star, or by gathering it up into a flower or purse shape or by twisting it into the traditional wonton shape.

The crab ragoon appetizers are presented golden crisp  by deep-frying the dumplings in vegetable oil or by baking. In North America, Crab Rangoon is often served with a sauce for dipping such as soy sauce, plum sauce, duck sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or a hot mustard sauce. 

Cream cheese was popular in 1940s and 1950s American cuisine, but in the far east neither Chinese nor Burmese use cream cheese in their culinary cuisines. A majority of East Asians are classified medically as "lactose intolerant", that means that including cream cheese in an Eastern Asian  diet would not be common for those cultures and highly unlikely to find the dish on menus.


                                                             The Invention Of Nachos

Ignacio Anaya García (15 August 1895 – 9 November 1975) was a Mexican maître d' who is credited as the inventor of the popular Tex-Mex dish Nachos at the Victory Club restaurant located 17 miles from the border of Texas in Mexico in 1943. After nachos rose in popularity Ignacio Anaya was promoted to chef, In the 1960's Ignacio Anaya eventually started his own restaurant .Ignacio Garcia never turned a profit off his culinary creation. Ignacio Garcia nickname was "Nacho", the name "Nacho" is derived from the Spanish Ignacio, the Spanish version of Ignatius.

 Born in San Carlos, Manuel Benavides, Chihuahua, Mexico  on 15 August 1895, Ignacio Anaya was employed as a cook at the Victory Club where Ignacio Garcia worked at the restaurant in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico, Ignacio Garcia was employed by Rudolfo De Los Santos. The Victory Club was a restaurant, that was constructed close to the US border and the established proved to be a popular destination with Americans from a nearby military base during World War II.

                                                               1943 A Star Is Born

 Ignacio Anaya Garcia created nachos while working a shift at the Victory Club, the nacho was invented one day in 1943  when a group of US Army servicemen wives, that were stationed at Fort Duncan Airforce Base, entered the establishment, for food, but the main cook, was absent, Ignacio Anaya Garcia untrained, decided that he would serve the group of 12 American Women a dish that would go on to dominate the appetizer food market.  As recounted by his son: Ignacio Anaya Garcia died on 9 November 1975, Ignacio Garcia  son Ignacio Anaya Jr chose a career in banking and finance, and Ignacio Anaya Garcia also left behind 5 other surviving children.[8] Posthumously, he was honored with a bronze plaque in Piedras Negras.
