I eagerly agreed to attend, as I grew up watching “Yan Can Cook” on KQED in the 1980s and 1990s.

A Chinese food expert from NY on SF's best dumplings - SFGATE

When Chinese American food historian, film producer and former New York Times writer Jennifer 8. Lee says Hayes Valley’s Dumpling Home is her favorite place for dumplings when she visits San Francisco, I’m all ears — and ready to eat. On a sunny Wednesday, there’s already a line outside the Gough Street corner restaurant before it opens for lunch at 11:30 a.m. A few chairs along the exterior wall show that a line to get in is normal, which is impressive considering that the place only opened in…
