Food, International Symbol of Friendship

Most of us long-term residents of Rockville might be familiar with Pinneberg, the German city that established sister city ties with us in 1957. In recent years, the city also decided to form a friendly relationship with the Chinese city of Jiaxing, which is located southwest of Shanghai.

When a delegation from Jiaxing visited here recently, we were one of the four restaurants that sponsored our specialty dishes for their welcome dinner. Jiaxing visitors got to sample some of the best American, Indian, Italian and Chinese food Rockville has to offer. We were just happy to play a role in supporting the city of Rockville's efforts at expanding friendly ties around the world. What could be better than doing this with delicious food?
