San Francisco Restaurant Review: Joy Luck Place

384 days ago - You may be dreaming of sugar plums right about now, but all I want to eat during the holidays is Chinese. Give me a crisp-skinned chicken, a plate of greens, a bowl of the soup of the day. OK, I admit this may be a Jewish thing — I’m hardwired to celebrate Christmas around a lazy Susan with pals, most of whom happen to be cooks ecstatic to finally have a night off. Meanwhile, my Chinese friends are feasting on roast goose, prime rib and old Burgundies. Go figure.
