While in Poughkeepsie on Tuesday of this week to meet with the minister who will marry us, Jen and I had lunch at one of my favorite joints from college: Chan’s Peking Kitchen III on Raymond Ave.
When I was Contributing Editor for The Miscellany News (after my reign as Editor-in-Chief came to an end), I did a lot of writing for my college paper. To date, my review of Chan’s on April 24, 1998 remains the only piece I’ve ever written that has been blown up, laminated, and hung up for public view (by someone besides my Dad, of course, who did just this — minus the public view part — when I had a letter published in the Chronicle in 2000). I’m happy to report that nearly 5 years later, Chan’s is still proud of that review — as am I.

So cool about Chan’s review still being there — and they must have been absolutely thrilled to see you again!!!! Did they buy you and Jen a potsticker???
Love,
Dad (and thanks for the mention about that blow-up poster)

I prefer to remain anonymous. It adds to the mystique of this restaurant reviewer. I’ve never had a free meal there.
