It’s the language of S.F.’s first Chinese immigrants. Can it survive another generation? As Mandarin becomes increasingly favored both in China and the Bay Area, Cantonese defenders are grappling with threats to the language.

Thank you, @sfchronicle.com for spotlighting Cantonese, inherent to local history & Chinese diaspora worldwide. Don't forget Wah Meiβ€”SF's 1st bilingual (Canto-English, now also Mandarin) preschool. It celebrated its 50th anniversary & has programs city-wide.

For Mark. A kind, patient boss & man if there ever was one.
@sf.gazetteer.co was the 1st pub to i.d. Mark. When they asked me to write a tribute, I didn’t know if I could do his memory justice. Deeply grateful to former colleagues who shared their words for this. Kitty Chow, Evelyn, Rocky, Andrea ❀️

I don't often do event reviews for The Dumpling Report, so it's always cool when I get to. See how it went below...

This is heartbreaking. Mark used to be my boss. He hired me as a bartender 10 years ago, and while he looked tough, he was a total softie. I truly hope the authorities find out what happened, and that his loved ones can find some peace.

'Best hot sauce in SF': One chef's obsession with a tiny dumpling restaurant King of Noodles, in SF's Inner Sunset, is known for its unfussy dumplings and a spicy orange sauce unlike any other Chinese restaurant's hot sauce.

Eat this hot sauce on dumplings…and everything else. I’m a convert thanks to eating with chef Eric Ehler of Outta Sight Pizza! Another 🀀 @sfgate.com πŸ₯Ÿ Dumpling Report πŸ₯Ÿ for the books

A rare Chinese dish hides inside this Bay Area supermarket food court Dainty Cuisine, an eatery inside the 99 Ranch food court in Cupertino, is one of the only places in the Bay Area you'll find the soupy meat bun called goubuli.

The 2x award-winning Dumpling Report on @sfgate.com (Thank you SF Press Club!) has a new one for you. Dishes both new-to-me and new to the Asian diaspora culinary canon made for a worthwhile food court trip!
