Duc Loi Thanksgiving

Amanda Ngo, owner of Duc Loi, the supermarket at 18th and Mission, served a free Thanksgiving from the front of her store last week. She paid for the dinner herself, which was served to more than 450 hungry people.

  4. With a name like that, they should serve a different kind of poultry.

    Sorry.

    They do this every year, and I admire them for it, but it does present a problem for dog-walkers, the day after: how do you prevent your dog from trying to choke itself on all the turkey bones that free-meal-eaters inevitably leave strewn about the sidewalks over a wide radius around Duc Loi?

    As much as I like Duc Loi, this whole “closing at 8pm” bullshit has GOT to stop.
