(More) Nanking has been a feature of downtown Shreveport since before Chinese food was so widely available. I remember going there 50+ years ago as a kid with my family when was "foreign food" was only for special events or visiting family. Most likely, tropical cocktails (tiny umbrellas?) made their first appearance there. Aside from longstanding classic menu items, those who have eaten there remember their fresh, warm homemade bread and sinus-clearing, mustard sauce, concocted there rather than squeezed from a plastic packet. For years, many of us would end an evening of partying winding down over a favorite dish, eggrolls and that fantastic bread. Unfortunately, Nanking is no longer open until 4am, but it's all remained as it was for when we're want to celebrate again.  (Hide)
