L.A Man has eaten at more than 6,000 Chinese restaurants

Washington, June 10 (ANI): An amateur restaurant reviewer has eaten in more than 6,090 Chinese restaurants in the L.A. in the past 60 years, and aims to try out every authentic Chinese eatery around the city at least once.

Accountant and attorney David R. Chan even keeps a spreadsheet on his culinary conquests that dates back to 1951.

Each restaurant gets comments, which are categorised like "dirt cheap" or "good and cheap," or has notes about his favourite dishes.

According to L.A Weekly, Chan, who is a third-generation Chinese-American, believes that his database of Chinese restaurants is a way of documenting the 'Chinese-American experience' in America, People Magazine reported.

"You can see the progression of Chinese food in Los Angeles, first centered in Chinatown, then openings in Monterey Park, Alhambra and Montebello, then further spreading to other communities," Chan said.

Chan even ventured outside of Southern California, taking stock of 'Guilin noodles' and 'dim sum' from Vancouver to New York.

He's got his sights set on Springfield, Mo., next, where he's looking forward to relish the 'cashew chicken'. (ANI)
