Reply to comment by biggreasyrhinos in TIL that the popular Springfield (Missouri) style cashew chicken dish was invented by a Chinese born chef who also among other achievements was part of the D-Day invasion. by es_price

Jax, FL has cashew chicken on the menu at some chinese places but it isn't Springfield style, I haven't tried to get it in other places so I don't know beyond that but there are different types out there. I didn't even know it was a regional thing until this poor excuse of a dish showed up that was just chicken with some cashews scatter around and no sauce, that was when I learned the difference
