The earliest known mention of subgum is in 1902 in a list of Chinese dishes in the Chicago Daily Tribune.[1] An early indirect mention of sub-gum is in 1906;[2] in 1909, there is a more explicit reference to sub gum deang at a Chicago restaurant[3] and in 1913, to sub gum gai suey at a New York City restaurant.[4]
