    Question What I learned eating at 8,000 Chinese Restaurants

    What I learned eating at 8,000 Chinese restaurants...

    Many people in America love Chinese food, but David R Chan is perhaps in a league of his own.

    Mr Chan, a 72-year-old former tax lawyer based in Los Angeles, claims to have dined at nearly 8,000 Chinese restaurants across the US and counting. Each is archived in a spreadsheet that he has maintained for four decades, along with thousands of restaurant business cards and menus.
    If you visit one Chinese restaurant per day, it would take more than 20 years to reach his current count - 7,812 restaurants.

    We have a favorite Chinese restaurant in Phoenix and have been going there for more than twenty years. Their sweet and sour pork is some of the best I've ever had, and the wife likes the kung pao chicken, extra spicy (though even she isn't crazy enough to actually eat those little red peppers they put in it.) It's expensive, probably some of the most expensive take-out food out there, but well worth it.

    Rene Aberjonois. He also played a shape-shifting alien in one of the Star Trek spinoffs. 'Deep Space Nine', I think.
