David R. Chan (born August 3, 1948[1]) is a retired[2] American tax lawyer[3] who is notable for visiting more than eight thousand Chinese restaurants and documenting each visit and meal. He started visiting restaurants in his college years.[4] As Chan traveled for his work, he would sometimes visit four restaurants each day.[5]
He has never learned to use chopsticks.[6][7] Chan says the best Chinese food is in Richmond, British Columbia.[4] Despite being near the 2023 Monterey Park shootings, Chan continued dining out.[8]
