You can't miss Aunt Betty. She's the life of the party. Loud and sassy. Everyone has an Aunt Betty in the family.

Aunt Sandra, beautiful as she was fun-loving. When we last saw her, she was living the good life in Hawaii with her third husband. A wonderful floral drink served in a small flower vase.

Dad started one of the oldest Tiki bars in Illinois called the Chef Shangri-la. Still in existence today in North Riverside. It hosts live bands, Hawaiian luau dancers and Elvis impersonators. That's right. I'm not kidding you.

The Diplomat is named for Uncle John who was one of the pioneers of Chinatown. We used to call him the Mayor of Chinatown because he was always presiding on every event in the neighborhood and oversaw many of the developments in the early days of Chinatown.

When Grandma Quan came to America, she took a job as a dishwasher in one of the more popular restaurants in Chinatown called Cantonese Chef. In a few years, the family came to own the restaurant which continued to thrive for another 35 years. The Chinese sign outside in our foyer is the original sign that hung in Cantonese Chef's foyer over 50 years ago.

This is the catch all drink for the family. Although a few of us continue in the family tradition of the restaurant, most of the family have become doctor, lawyers and Chiefs.

The Diplomat is named for Uncle John who was one of the pioneers of Chinatown. We used to call him the Mayor of Chinatown because he was always presiding on every event in the neighborhood and oversaw many of the developments in the early days of Chinatown.

When Grandma Quan came to America, she took a job as a dishwasher in one of the more popular restaurants in Chinatown called Cantonese Chef.
