Sally Ling
Sally Ling, along with her husband Edward Nan Liu, opened Sally Ling's restaurant in Boston in 1984.[1]
The restaurant was at 256 Commercial Street in the Boston waterfront district from 1984 to 2003 (another location opened in Newton Center)[2] and focused on white table clothed banquet fare.[3] The original restaurant was "high-end and elegant".[4] Regular diners included Martin Yan, Jasper White, Julia Child,[5] and Yo-Yo Ma. The restaurant relocated to Cambridge and New Jersey before closing.[6] Since the restaurant closed, Ling helps out her daughter Nadia Liu Spelman in Nadia's restaurant Dumpling Daughter.[7]
Ling left the industry in 2010.[8]
Legacy
[edit]Jasper White's has credited a chef who worked nearby at Sally Ling's with inspiring his well-known pan roasted lobster.[9][10]
