Today marks the beginning of the Chinese New Year and according to the lunar calendar it’s the Year of the Ox. In Chinese astrology, the ox represents perseverance, patience, balance and hard work. What foods pair well with the symbolism of The Ox and what is the traditional fare to ring in the Chinese New Year? To help answer those questions and to give us a real taste of the holiday is Eddie Chan, catering manager of the Sweet N Tart restaurant in Queens, New York.

Marilyn "aka MAZ" Recht... Jackie Chan loves/misses you.
Bruce Lee... when are we filming our next chase scene? You in your Lotus and me in my porsche?
I agree with Bruce Lee. Make it like fear factor and make them eat pig testicles. If they don't drop kick them like Bruce. Eddie... you suck for not knowing what the days of Chinese New Year stands for. You make all Chinese people look bad! And tell SoCalThaiGuy to get off your jock!!

I love that Obama became Prez in the Year of the Ox.
Eddie man you rock! Happy New Year
A small correction: the name of the restaurant is SWEET N TART, and we are located in Flushing. Thank you again to Adaora and Kathleen, and their wonderful producers for having me. It was fun! Thank you also to Leslie and our friends at the China Institute for connecting us with The Takeaway folks! Happy New Year to all!
This segment was inane. your "hosts" seemed ill prepared and their tone was patronizing to the point of being colonial. OOH, look at the exotic Chinese! yeeesh! Even morning edition was more respectful and interestinG, and i'm no fan of morning edition. You should be able to do better than this.
