Old menu card from Kin Fong Restaurant, 537 South Cedar Street, Kalkaska,Michigan, 49646. (Probably circa 1975 or 1976).
I find little reference to this place looking around. I think it has been gone for a very long time. One I did find was this bit from a yearbook from Grand Ledge, Michigan, from 1976:
"Debbie Clark is seldom seen without a pretty smile on her face, she en- joys sewing, cooking, baking, bicycling and outdoor sports. Next year she plans on working at the Kin Fong restaurant in Kalkaska Mich, and then will attend Andrews and study to become a Dietician."
Searching also reveals Kin Fong as the first name (or first and middle name?) of some Chinese-Americans. I'm pretty sure that "Kin Fong Restaurant" in Kalkaska was the first and only Chinese restaurant found in a large section of the country.
How do you like the complete dinner for $2.60? I'm 90% sure that this was the first Chinese restaurant I'd ever been to, and I've loved them ever since. Does anyone else have fond memories of a Chinese restaurant?

So odd...I can't remember the first time I went to a Chinese restaurant. I know I didn't as a kid, but I don't know when I did! All I know is that now it is one of my very favorite cuisines.
