达拉斯：三代女性传承贵州风味 曹梦洁把祖母的烤串带到Plano
达拉斯——位于德克萨斯州 Collin County 的 Plano 市，今年6月开业的 Yang's Smokehouse（240 Legacy Drive, Suite 306）背后，是一段跨越三代女性的家族故事。《D Magazine》10月20日刊文介绍了这家主打贵州风味的中式烧烤店及其创办人曹梦洁（Mengjie Cao）。
故事始于1980年的贵阳：曹梦洁的祖母张连秀30岁守寡后，靠一辆烧烤小推车养家。上世纪90年代末，她与女儿杨启芬开出第一家实体店，并增添了炒菜和火锅。如今家族在贵州拥有两家直营店和四家加盟店。
曹梦洁是第三代传人，担任该店创办人兼主厨。她为攻读硕士学位来到美国，毕业后在建筑设计行业工作八年、做到副总裁，攒下资金后决定把祖母的烤串带到 Plano；筹备期间，祖母专程来德州住了几个月帮忙。店内以炭火明火烧烤为核心，香辣口味采用家族配方的贵州辣椒配四川花椒。曹梦洁对《D Magazine》表示，她希望客人吃到的不只是味道，更是三代女性传承下来的文化、背景与历史。（GSM 据 D Magazine 报道）

Dallas: Three Generations of Women Behind Yang's Smokehouse in Plano
Dallas — In Plano, Collin County, Texas, Yang's Smokehouse (240 Legacy Drive, Suite 306), which opened this June, carries a family story spanning three generations of women. D Magazine profiled the Guizhou-style Chinese barbecue restaurant and its founder, Mengjie Cao, on October 20.
The story began in Guiyang in 1980, when Cao's grandmother, Lianxiu Zhang, widowed at 30, supported her family with a barbecue street cart. In the late 1990s, Zhang and her daughter Qifen Yang opened their first brick-and-mortar restaurant, adding stir-fry and hotpot. The family now runs two restaurants of its own in Guizhou and holds four franchise agreements.
Cao, the third-generation owner and chef, came to the United States for a master's degree, then worked eight years in construction design, rising to vice president, before saving enough to bring her grandmother's skewers to Plano. Her grandmother traveled to Texas and stayed for a couple of months to help launch the restaurant. The kitchen centers on open-fire charcoal grilling, with a signature family blend of Guizhou chiles and Sichuan pepper. Cao told D Magazine she wants diners to appreciate the culture, background and history of a restaurant built by three generations of women. (GSM, based on D Magazine)
