For two decades Shirley Fong-Torres has guided 20,000 visitors a year through San Francisco?s Chinatown. This book shows why so many keep coming back for more. It?s Chinese-American history with a bottomless appetite for quirky anecdotes, respected traditions and exquisite dumplings.

I love Shirley Fong-Torres. Her effervescence and passion make her irresistible. If she writes a book I?ll buy it, if she hosts a tour, I?ll take it, if she recommends a restaurant I?ll eat there. ?Gene Burns, KGO, San Francisco

Shirley Fong-Torres knows San Francisco?s Chinatown better than anyone?She?s downloaded a chunk of what she knows in this book, filled with great information and a touching account of her family history. ?Michael Bauer, San Francisco Chronicle

I thought I knew San Francisco Chinatown, that is, until I met Shirley. ?Martin Yan, YAN CAN COOK

Shirley Fong-Torres has a contagious love of life, people, place and food?I am rapt by her stories, energized by her passion and touched by her spirit. ?Joey Altman, BAY CAF?

This is Shirley Fong-Torres, a very bossy woman. But if you want to do business in San Francisco Chinatown you have to deal with her. She knows everybody and everything. ?Comedian Martin Clune
