But you did mention San Francisco in 1849 was the first operating restaurant in North America. And by 1851, when the population of San Francisco was but 34,000 and change, there were seven full-time Chinese restaurants open, which, you know, for that few people is pretty good for that time period.

One was a criminal lawyer defending a white client following a race riot in 1865 and told the judge, why, sir, and I'm not going to say the racist Chinese name, but they live on rice and, sir, they eat it with sticks.
