During World War II, several hundred Chinese Mexicans traveled north to the United States to work as cooks for the Threlkeld Commissary Company in a special exception to the Chinese Exclusion Act. Using archival sources as well as memoirs, this article traces the Chinese Mexican contribution to the Mexican Track Labor Program and the ways in which these workers became purveyors of Mexican culinary traditions in the United States.
