Every Chinese restaurant is open on Christmas Day, right?
Wrong! HuffPost Detroit recently proved the myth to be about as accurate as your average fortune cookie. The majority of establishments in metro Detroit we contacted told us they will, in fact, be closed for the holiday.
But if you are jonesing for General Tso, there are some Chinese eateries in Detroit, and the suburbs, where you can get practice with chopsticks over the Christmas holiday.
