There was definitely a sign from above for me to make lettuce wraps. We had dinner at a friend's house and they make Korean meat wrapped in lettuce. My husband said it reminded him of PF Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps. The next day my mother arrived from the east coast and asked me if I could make lettuce wraps. On the third day, I opened my Instagram and the first post was from @brunchwithbabs, and guess what she was making!

P.F. Chang’s is the restaurant first credited with putting lettuce wraps on the food map, and this menu staple is one of the most-copied items in the restaurant industry. There is an interesting article called Facts About P.F. Chang’s That Would Surprise You.
