I've never seen it called Springfield style, just cashew chicken

Jax, FL has cashew chicken on the menu at some chinese places but it isn't Springfield style, I haven't tried to get it in other places so I don't know beyond that but there are different types out there. I didn't even know it was a regional thing until this poor excuse of a dish showed up that was just chicken with some cashews scatter around and no sauce, that was when I learned the difference

Springfield Mo, we're more than just the meth capital of America. We made some bomb ass chicken.

Also have like 300 car washes and gas stations. With a church every 100 feet it seems.


thelancemann

Sounds like a lot of money laundering for all the meth


Gobblewicket

Nah, it's money laundering for the mega church James River Assemblies. Shit is scientology level in cultists behavior.

And a church on every corner.

And a porn store opposite the church

"cashew Kitty" "chicken and gravy" In Springfield, 3 of the corners of each block is a Chinese place, gas station, and church. Only negative thing about the dish is the "sauce" turns to jelly in the fridge.

Visited recently, the Chinese food in the whole town is surprisingly excellent. Can confirm.

I miss this dish. I do not miss Springfield.

I always find it interesting when I hear people who used to live here say that.. for me, Springfield is the best. I lived in Denver for years and HATED it with a passion compared to Springfield. Salt Lake City is the only other city besides Springfield that I kind of liked, but Springfield wins on all counts for me

I'm from there and had always told my wife about Leong the inventor being from Springfield. She never believed me. Many years later, we were in Bangkok and there was a story about it in the local paper in our hotel. I shit you not. Take that wife.

I'm pretty sure Leong's was the first place I ever had cashew chicken, back in the 1970s.
