October 19 (Yes, Friday - Not
Thursday - and we'll be at the Collins and Katz Family YMCA) -
David R. Chan
Rotary Club of San Francisco
Chinatown! Our SF Rotarian friends are back and we have a fun
weekend planned. Friday we have our regular meeting at the YMCA
- in the Don Park Room - with a tour of the facility taking
place after lunch. Our speaker will be David
R. Chan, and his topic is
"Why Los Angeles has better Chinese food than San Francisco."
An accountant and attorney by trade, Chan has been keeping a
spreadsheet of his culinary conquests since the early 1990s when
he bought his first home computer. "When I entered the workforce
in the 1970s, that coincided with the rise of what we think of
as authentic Chinese food in North America," Chan says. "As
such, my goal was to try every authentic Chinese restaurant in
the Los Angeles area at least once." And then some. In 2012 he
had already surpassed 6,000 restaurants, and as of now the
figure is well in excess of 7,000. (Ask him how many at the
meeting.) Friday evening we will have a nice casual dinner
(7:00 at Bazille in Santa Monica - 3rd floor of Nordstrom). Saturday we will visit the
Nethercutt Museum (10 am), one of America's top 5 automotive
museums followed by a luncheon. We hope all of you will plan to
attend.
Rotary is a leadership organization
made up of local business, professional and civic leaders who
meet regularly to get to know each other, form friendships, and
through that, be able to get things done in our local
community. Rotary is the world's oldest and largest service
organization (founded in 1905).
