5th Anniversary

CJ Chan Celebrates 5th Anniversary with IWatch Giveaway

By

CJ Chan owners

Hi Chan and  Juan, the husband and wife team that run the Moraine location of CJ Chan are celebrating the locations 5th anniversary this week by hosting a give away for their loyal customers.  Starting Monday they will give away an Apple watch a day for five days.   Customers that like and share a graphic on Facebook will be entered in the drawing and each day there will be a winner posted, who can come to the restaurant to claim their watch.

After the success of the original location on Wilmington Ave, they wanted to build the Moraine location with a bigger kitchen and make it a bit more upscale. Hi shared with us there is a large Chinese population near the Alex Bell restaurant and they feel very thankful for the support they have received at both locations.  His brother runs the Wilmington spot and he admits he’s the better cook, while he claims to be the better businessman.

Chan says he learned to cook at his father’s side in Hong Kong, where he ran a five star restaurant.  He came to the US in 2002 to have more freedom. He started working at Dragon City in Dayton, eventually bought it and eventually sold it.  They opened CJ Chan to serve sushi and a wide variety of Chinese and Japanese dishes for dine-in and carryout.

Both husband and wife are quick to share the key to their success with their staff, who each received an apple watch as a thank you for their hard work during the first five years!

As we wrapped up our discussion, they even hinted their may be a 3rd restaurant in their future, that may be more Japanese in style.

Tickets Now On Sale For Lilys Bistro 5th Anniversary Whole Beast Feast

By

Lily’s Bistro celebrating their 5-year anniversary this summer with a  “Whole Beast Feast,” a very special “Nose to Tail” dinner on Thursday, June 21, followed by some special bar events that weekend and then, later on in July, a counterpart 5-course dinner that is all plant-based for our vegetarian and vegan friends.
“Nose to Tail” is a philosophy of eating and cooking where every possible part of an animal is utilized, which minimizes waste and treats each part respectfully and resourcefully. They’ll start with a local whole hog that they will be butchering in house, and the menu will have everything from house stuffed sausages to pressed terrines and candied pork belly with bacon fat beignets. Executive Chef Jansen will be able to work with parts of the animal that are often overlooked or discarded and to tap into his team’s creativity to combine rustic tradition with high end preparations.
Bar Manager Amber Brady is assembling an optional craft beer pairing spotlighting local and Ohio-made beers to accompany this whole beast feast!
Make plans now to join Lily’s on Thursday, June 21 to celebrate the whole hog and 5 years in business! Tickets are $49 which includes tax and tip and can be purchased in advance online here and at the restaurant. The optional Ohio craft beer pairing is $14 and can be purchased on the day of the event.
