Most people in Turlock, CA remember Wah-Q Restaurant, previously located on Golden State Boulevard, which was owned and operated by several generations of the Yees, however there's much more to this family than Chinese Food. As Patrick learned, there's also a big difference between what Americans refer to as Chinese Food, and what the Chinese eat as their native dishes. American-inspired Chinese food has a lot of fried foods, whereas native Chinese food, including Cantonese, is a lot healthier and eccentric. One of Patrick's favorite things about the Yees was their pets - their fish, their dogs, and their birds. One of the birds, owned by Amy Yee, was an African Grey named "Pepper". It was amazing - it could say its own name "Pepper, Pepper!" and even make noises that sounded like one of the family's telephone calls - complete with dial tone, dialing, and conversation!
