National Crab Rangoon Day is observed annually on February 13, celebrating the popular appetizer found in American Chinese restaurants. The holiday honors crab rangoons, which are crispy fried dumplings filled with a mixture of crab meat and cream cheese. This dish, believed to have originated at Trader Vic’s in the 1950s, was likely invented by chef Joe Young or possibly by the restaurant's founder, Victor Bergeron. To celebrate, people often enjoy crab rangoons at their favorite Chinese restaurants, order takeout, or make them at home. Celebrants are encouraged to share their crab rangoon experiences on social media using hashtags like #NationalCrabRangoonDay. The holiday was established around 2008 by a group of friends from Boston who wanted to celebrate their favorite dish and encourage camaraderie among singles before Valentine's Day.
