I love this sign.

Were it not for Chinese food this Jew would have spent a hungry childhood! One of the few popular ethnic foods I remember growing up in Detroit. The joint on 7 Mile and Meyers (I think) was of particular importance.

I’ve never gotten over my love of Egg Foo Young.

My favorite Chinese restaurant in Detroit was Victor Lim’s. Yummy any day of the year.

    Victor Lim’s was on W. Adams, across from Grand Circus Park in downtown Detroit.

I LOVE this post! This Xmas I’ll be going to the Chinese Buffet like I do every Xmas. It was always Chinese food for my family on Xmas. I used to be embarrassed to be such a cliché, now I embrace it!
