Johnny Kan (1906–1972) was a Chinese American restaurateur in Chinatown, San Francisco, ca 1950–1970. He was the owner of Johnny Kan's restaurant, which opened in 1953, and published a book on Cantonese cuisine, Eight Immortal Flavors, which was praised by Craig Claiborne and James Beard. Kan and Cecilia Chiang (proprietor of the Mandarin in Ghirardelli Square) are credited with popularizing authentic Chinese cuisine as a fine dining option, displacing the stereotypical chop suey American Chinese cuisine prevalent in the 1950s and 60s.

To tourists who would innocently order chop suey, Johnny would purr, 'I'm sorry, we serve only Chinese food here.'

Well, with our glass-enclosed kitchen, we could say to the difficult guest, 'Will you please do us a favor? Come and watch us prepare fresh food and see our woks.' It usually took me about fifteen minutes to educate a disliker when I could have him smell the aroma of fresh, barbecued pork coming out of the oven, or sizzling filet of chicken breasts in a wok with beautiful, fresh vegetables around, snow peas or chard toss-cooked for just a few seconds. Usually a man like this will end up being a real enthusiast. Why? Because he never knew how real Chinese food was prepared. Now he was no longer a chop suey believer. And of course, in the years since that initial education period, we've introduced our friends to Peking Duck and many other complex dishes enjoyed by Cantonese people on the mainland, in Hong Kong, and here in San Francisco.

... in a party of six or eight persons, there would always be one who disliked Chinese food. No matter what the captain or waiters may say to him, his answer is, 'I hate Chinese food, bring me a steak!' Then what?
