Dvorak proposes visiting the Empress of China, a classic but faded restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown, for a future review. He describes the venue as a semi-decadent landmark located on the 10th floor of a building overlooking the district. The hosts discuss the merits of reviewing such locations for listeners who frequent the city, contrasting it with the high-end entrepreneurial dinners Dvorak usually attends with figures like Dan Farber.
