Take a look at a fine New Yorker and a a great American -- Vanessa Duan. She is the force behind the Lower East Side stalwart Dumpling House on Eldridge Street.
Ms Duan is a native of Beijing, China but she staked her dumpling claim in Manhattan and she has become an American success story. Is she floating in the Hudson River on a yacht sipping champagne each afternoon? No, she is busy making sure she serves great fast food Chinese style each and every day.
Dumplings can be sticky and thick and overly chewy in a flash. Vanessa knows what she is doing and that's why she has so many devoted customers. |
