We were informed (awhile ago) by our loyal friend and reader, Neeraj, that the very first restaurant in our phonebook has gone the way of Austin Riley’s Pizza. American Chopstick wasn’t a high quality restaurant, but it was always entertaining. We don’t know why it closed, but are saddened that we didn’t get to say goodbye. I drive by there frequently and even though the sign is still up, it is eerily empty.

So long, American Chopstick. You will be missed.
