• • In the 1930s, Hollywood started patronizing the top Chinatown restaurants. Repeat attenders included chopstick-wielders such as Peter Lorre, Sidney Greenstreet, Walt Disney, and the Marx Brothers. During the Depression, when movie people could afford to eat well at a time when many Americans were jobless, the West Coast gossip columns and movie magazines would mention Tuey Far Low alongside showbiz hang-outs such as the Brown Derby, Sardi's, and the Coconut Grove. (Tuey Far Low courted customers by staying open until 5 A.M.)
• • Celebrities also flocked to Man Jen Low and the Dragon's Den.
• • In Mae's opinion, however, Man Fook Low was THE PLACE for "authentic" Chinese chow. In 1959 their shui mai dumplings were 35 cents each.
• • The Lunar Year 2007 begins the year of the pig.
