Family and friends are mourning the death of a well known city restaurateur.
Ling Lee died unexpectedly Tuesday, the victim of an accidental fall.
Along with running restaurants at several locations around the city over the years, Lee was also a highly recognizable face to local television viewers who will remember his series of television programs teaching Chinese cooking.
A spokesperson for the family says he was in his mid-70s.
A celebration of his life is planned for the Valhalla Inn Monday afternoon.
