The L.A. City Council last week passed a motion that would ban most gas appliances in new residential and commercial construction in the city, citing an effort to combat climate change.
“With the sheer number of restaurants in L.A., this will have a massive impact on the future of the restaurant industry and how many diverse cuisines are offered,” said Jot Condie, president of the California Restaurant Assn.
“There is no substitute if you ban gas equipment,” Xie said. "For Chinese cuisine, we use a technique called stir-frying and the temperature is key.”
Many of the dishes at Chengdu Taste require a jolt of heat to caramelize and sear the surface of the meats, vegetables and seafood; something Xie said can only be achieved by cranking up the heat and getting to a certain temperature, quickly.
“Electricity just doesn’t get to that high temperature in a short period of time, and that’s associated with the flavor of the food,” he said.
Wok hei (“breath of the wok”), the distinct flavor imparted to food when cooked at high temperatures in a wok, is the hallmark of certain dishes. It’s that toasted, browned, charred flavor that gives a bowl of noodles, clams in black bean sauce, string beans and anything else cooked this way, that covetable, kissed-by-fire smoky element.

The LA foodies voted for this, and they’ll rue the day. Welcome to the Green New Deal, fools.
The L.A. City Council last week passed a motion that would ban most gas appliances in new residential and commercial construction in the city, citing an effort to combat climate change.
lol
that was my first thought - no more Bulgogi??!!??
We’d all be living in mud huts, eating root vegetables and walking everywhere if they had their way
PDJT said it. This country is going to hell.
Have a propane grill out back in the alley
By the way, what is the status of bacon shipments to California? When or have they lost that yet?
So? Sue!
The breathtaking stupidity of this. Natural gas is the cleanest burning fuel on the planet. Idiots
There is a super big mega drought in LA too. I hear-by demand they ban toilets. This will save eleventy billion gallons of water a month
“I demand buglogi!!!”
Thanks alot.....now I have to go eat lunch....AGAIN
it is both true and proven, even by the shop in San Francisco, that electric stovetops do not supply the heat, as well as do not heat the walls of the wok!
there are small stovetop gas burners, but i suppose theey will be outlawed too.
so will we see an emigration of all sorts of oriental cooking, since the wok is prevalent in all asian cooking from the Phillipines to Mongolia and all points inbetween.
:(
The cult of environmentalism will destroy everything. This is nuts.
California is a rigged, one-party state. It NEEDS government bankruptcy and collapse. Nothing will fix it otherwise.
