Chinese Restaurants
Episode 12
New Outlook Cafe
Jim Kook came to Canada as a “paper son.” He ran a diner in the prairie town of Outlook Saskatchewan for 40 years. His bond with his customers became so close, for many years, he gave early birds the keys to the diner, so they could open early, turn on the grills, make their own coffee, and even cook their own breakfast. A pillar of the community, when Noisy Jim passed away the whole town came to his funeral to pay their final respects
