President Obama’s in town! And he just made a surprise lunch stop at Great Eastern — recently named among SF Weekly’s top dim sum spots — to grab takeout and shake some hands, much to the delight of all of Chinatown. As City Insider reports, the President paid cash for his dim sum sampler, and patrons were squealing with delight and chanting “Obama! Obama!” As discussed earlier, he’ll be going to a private dinner tonight cooked by Quince chef Michael Tusk. [City Insider/SF Gate]
