Earlier this month, restauranteur Steve Chu received a request from a customer via email:

One of his customers had terminal cancer, and her son-in-law wondered if it would be possible to get the recipe of her favorite broccoli tempura entree so he could make it for her at her home in Vermont.

He did much, much more. If you’re anywhere near the Baltimore area, check out Ekiben to keep them going strong. They clearly deserve your business, and I’m hoping for my own chance to visit in the future.
