Koi Palace topped topped the list as Mr Chan praised it for its continuing excellence 
Mr Chan has travelled around the U.S. sampling traditional and American-Chinese fusion food (file picture) MR CHAN'S TOP 10 RESTAURANTS 1) Koi Palace, Daly City, California: Mr Chan praised it for continuing excellence2) Sea Harbour, Rosemead, California: He said it brought 'high quality dim sum' to the area3) Elite Restaurant, Montery Park, California: Praised for its interesting range of dim sum 4) King Hua, Alhambra, California: Mr Chan said it has similar dim sum to Sea Harbour 5) Lunasia, Alhambra, California: The expert said it has an 'innovative' menu such as foie gras dim sum 6) Din Tai Fung, Arcadia, California: The only Shanghai style restaurant in the top 10 7) Yank Sing, San Francisco, California: Mr Chan praised the dim sum specialist for 'evolving' 8) Seafood Village, Monterey Park, California: The Hong Kong-style restaurant is 'highly regarded' 9) 101 Noodle Express, Alhambra, California: Mr Chan said the restaurant's star dish the Shandong beef roll has given it prominence 10) Jai Yun, San Francisco, California: Mr Chan said it is one of the 'quirkiest' Chinese restaurants in the U.S. He said he was brought up as an American by his parents who wanted to ‘protect’ him from discrimination. When he was younger the only Chinese restaurants were in Chinatown and in 1950 he was one of just 8,067 Chinese people living in Los Angeles. Mr Chan told the Los Angeles Times: ‘Unless you lived in San Francisco, you were an oddity.’Chinese immigration became more prevalent when he was studying at UCLA after the government relaxed laws that had only allowed 105 people each year to move from China to the U.S. It was during his college years that Mr Chan began to connect with Chinese culture and took a course called Orientals in America. Mr Chan said he one of the favorite parts of his hobby is seeing how the cuisine has evolved over the decades. He says he finds American-Chinese fusions - such as the Chow Mein sandwich served with gravy that he found in New England - as interesting and enjoyable as traditional Chinese food.While there is only one restaurant that he returns to, ABC Seafood, Mr Chan said the current number one Chinese restaurant is Koi Palace in Daly City, California, where they specialise in dim sum at lunch and Hong Kong-style seafood at dinner. Mr Chan's son Eric believes his father's obsessions stems from him being a natural collector. He said: 'If you collect enough of something, you can capture its essence. Maybe that's what he's trying to do with food.' 
Justin Brown felt like his resume merited an invite to February's NFL Combine, but one never came. Brown also believes his size and skills are valuable enough to make him worth a draft selection later this week. Most signs, though, indicate the 6-foot-3, 207-pound receiver will probably end up an undrafted free agent.“A little disappointed, but at the end of the day, there was really nothing else I could do,” Brown said last month at OU's Pro Day when asked about the combine. “I did my best on the field, but at the end of the day, I don't make the decisions. That's why I had to work hard and try to prove myself at pro day.” Comment »
No Kobe, no Nash, no Blake, no Meeks. How's this post season like for Mike D'Antoni you ask? Well, ...D'Antoni says he's been sleeping like a baby. "Every 15 minutes you wake up and cry."— Jeff McDonald (@JMcDonald_SAEN) April 27, 2013 It has come to this, guys. Chris Duhon to the rescue.
This is it. After months and months of waiting, the NFL Draft begins tonight.I've been blogging on this since late last year, and I do not regret a single day of it. I am fully aware of the odds against the Rams drafting Manti Te'o at all, let alone tonight in New York. I am aware that teams like the Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, Cincinnati Bengals, and others are more likely to draft him, maybe in the second round. I'm definitely aware of Rams fans that have commented discontent towards the idea of any Rams fan wanting Te'o in St. Louis. I would be foolish of me to not acknowledge the reality that the NFL Draft is unpredictable and most times advocacy for any single player by any NFL fan does not work.However, because the NFL is unpredictable, it is the reason why I do not regret this.I'm one of those people that believes that doing nothing is far worse than getting it wrong in my advocacy for Manti Te'o being a Ram. I know that there is only a remote chance of the Rams even thinking about Manti Te'o. But listening to naysayers and letting negative individuals dominate the conversation on who should be drafted by Jeff Fisher's team would be a monumental mistake that I would regret for life. I rather be wrong supporting a player I want in my favorite team than to be silent to appease negative critics here in St. Louis, and anywhere else. Most of us don't bother to publicly advocate for any players, and some that do give up after a few tries when facing rude comments by online strangers. For these reasons, I am proud of my advocacy of Manti Te'o as a Rams fan and have no regrets.So, if a team other than the Rams draft Manti Te'o, then that franchise deserves the blessing(s) of Te'o and his contributions he will provide. It takes character and an understanding of true potential to see value in Te'o's gift as a player, and the team that drafts deserves success in the upcoming season. This is why I want the Rams to draft him, but I know that it's not a guarantee, yet in knowing that I have to speak up while the opportunity exists. Silence is worse than failure. So if any other team drafts Te'o, I will accept it and move on.Now if the Rams draft Manti Te'o....well, the 'big man upstairs' will be getting all the credit.
