SGV dining guide: Chinese and Asian restaurants as the local baseline

ChineseLosAngeles should lead with San Gabriel Valley dining context, not generic Los Angeles filler.

For Los Angeles Chinese community readers, the San Gabriel Valley is not a side note. It is the practical dining map for family meals, newcomer errands, weekend meetups, and out-of-town guests.

Eater LA's SGV restaurant guide is a better source-linked baseline than a random restaurant-opening scrape because it keeps the selection anchored in Alhambra, Arcadia, Monterey Park, San Gabriel, Temple City, and nearby communities.

The city feed can still add fresher Radar items later. The baseline should make the archive feel like a real ChineseLosAngeles product from the first page.
