SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Springfield convention and visitors organization 'Visit Springfield' is declaring the city the 'Cashew Chicken Capital of the World' as it kicks off it's second annual event dedicated to the dish.

Previous coverage: Cashew Chicken could become Missouri's official dish Cashew Chicken was first created in 1963 when David Leong was looking for a way to better connect with Springfield customers eating at his Chinese restaurant. By frying chicken chunks and drizzling a concoction of Chinese oyster sauce, cashews, and chopped green onions, Leong was successful in finding the right combination for southwest Missourians taste buds. 'Soon, versions of 'Springfield-Style Cashew Chicken' appeared on menus coast to coast and even around the world,' states Visit Springfield in a article published on the history in March, 2017. You can find out more about the history of Springfield's famous Cashew Chicken by watching the video above, or by reading Visit Springfield's full history.

Cramer says 'be ready for disappointment' as the White House continues to shape market action
CNBC's Jim Cramer reviewed Monday's market action, chalking up the day's performance to expectations about the White House's next move. He advised that investors prepare for turbulence, even as some on Wall Street continue to have optimism about President Donald Trump's impact on big business. "We have to be ready for disappointment, because we've seen it over and over and over again," he said. "This administration is perfectly willing to disappoint the stock market…to advance their agenda, and it's foolish that you should believe otherwise." According to Cramer, the past two sessions have been shaped by changing notions of trade relations between the U.S. and China. After opening lower on Monday, stocks managed to finish in the green by close. Cramer said Wall Street was encouraged after a senior White House official told CNBC that Trump is set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping very soon. Cramer remarked that with one report, "the market did an entire 180." He speculated about whether the president is content to have "a genuine trade peace with China," even as investors are largely hopeful Trump will change course and loosen restrictions on semiconductor exports to the country. But Cramer noted that there are still broader fears pushing a number of stocks down. Dell reported a strong quarter last week. According to Cramer, shares later dipped in part because investors worried about the administration's push to squeeze federal contractors — many of whom buy equipment from the company. Government contractor Booz Allen Hamilton has also seen its stock get crushed, he continued. New tariffs have also spurred the declines of many U.S. outfits with major suppliers abroad, including Gap and Apple, Cramer added. "We're always one posting, one whisper away from rallying or declining," Cramer said. "As long as we recognize that the President's in control of the stock market — at least, when he wants to be — we can make sense of this tape." The White House did not immediately respond to request for comment. Click here to download Jim Cramer's Guide to Investing at no cost to help you build long-term wealth and invest

Removing Chinese tariffs on Canadian agriculture products a priority, says Carney
SASKATOON - Prime Minister Mark Carney says he plans to work urgently to remove Chinese tariffs on Canadian agriculture and seafood products. Carney says Ottawa is speaking with Chinese officials at the ministerial level and that the issue is a top priority for the federal government. The commitment comes after a meeting the prime minister had with the country's premiers in Saskatoon. A statement released after the meeting says premiers want Canada's trading relationship with China to improve. Beijing imposed retaliatory tariffs of 100 per cent on Canadian canola oil and meal, peas and seafood after Ottawa slapped levies on Chinese-made electric vehicles, steel and aluminum. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has said China's tariffs threaten the province's canola industry. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 2, 2025.
