Christina Wan's to reopen in Fort Lauderdale under new name, owners: ‘We're still your Chinese grandmother'
Wan's — the restaurant's simplified new name — will be a reboot of the 28-year-old restaurant when it reopens in the same location sometime this spring, led by fourth-generation owners Alex Kuk (who runs next-door Temple Street Eatery) and Courtney Van Leeuwaarde, daughter of Christina Wan's namesake Christina Huynh.
The revival is a remarkable about-face for the longtime eatery, which closed Nov. 10 after Huynh, the restaurant's chic and sharp-eyed matriarch, announced her retirement along with her husband, chef and co-owner Jason Huynh.
So why revive the restaurant now? In truth, the extended Wan family had been regretting its closure for months, Kuk told the South Florida Sun Sentinel on Tuesday.

Why this is a must-watch in Nvidia's earnings report
Nvidia's (NVDA) upcoming earnings day may boil down to one key question: Will China be part of its outlook? "If NVDA were to include China in its guidance, we believe it would contribute an incremental $2-3 billion in revenue," KeyBanc Capital Markets analyst John Vinh wrote in a new note. Vinh expects strong Q2 results, driven by demand for Nvidia's Blackwell GPUs. But he warned that guidance for Q3 could be conservative, given uncertainty around US export licenses to China. Still, KeyBanc reiterated its Overweight rating and lifted its price target to $215 from $190, pointing to Nvidia's central role in the AI boom and supply-demand dynamics that remain firmly in its favor. Nvidia's near-term growth story looks solid without China. Supply of Nvidia's Blackwell B200 GPU jumped 40% in Q2 and could rise another 20% in Q3, according to Vinh. Simultaneously, shipments of the more advanced Blackwell Ultra (B300) are ramping up, reinforcing Nvidia's dominance in AI chips. KeyBanc raised its full-year shipment forecast for Nvidia's rack-sale AI systems, known as GB200. The firm now expects 30,000 units to ship this year, up from 25,000 previously, citing stronger yields and improved supply-chain execution. For now, KeyBanc assumes Nvidia will exclude China revenue from its guidance. That mirrors the approach of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), which earlier this month left China out of its outlook amid the same regulatory uncertainty. The Chinese impact on Nvidia is significant. KeyBanc raised its Q2 revenue estimate to $47.1 billion from $45.1 billion, above Wall Street's consensus of $45.7 billion. It raised earnings per share to $1.05 from $0.99, slightly above consensus of $1.00. But with Nvidia agreeing to pay 15% of Chinese chip sales to the US government, plus China's push for domestic AI chips, the company is likely to adopt a more conservative stance on its financial forecast. For Q3, KeyBanc cut its revenue estimates to $50.4 billion from $53.5 billion, versus a consensus of $52.6 billion. EPS was clipped to $1.14 from $1.22, below the Street's consensus of $1.19. Longer term, KeyBanc trimmed fiscal 2026 forecasts on China risks, but boosted 2027 expectations on stronger rack shipments due to accelerating spending by hyperscalers like Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Google (GOOG). Wall Street remains bullish. Morgan Stanley recently called Nvidia the most undervalued megacap stock in the market. Its shares are up more than 30% year to date and over 35% in the past 12 months.

US tariffs on Chinese graphite spark opportunity for India's Epsilon
(Fixes typo in paragraph 6 in word "Carolina." No other changes to text.) By Aditi Shah NEW DELHI (Reuters) -India's Epsilon Advanced Materials is moving swiftly to close deals to supply critical components to Japanese and South Korean battery makers in the U.S., a top executive said, after Washington imposed anti-dumping duties on Chinese imports. The U.S. in July imposed a punitive 93.5% tariff on import of graphite anode materials from China, creating an opportunity for India's Epsilon to break Beijing's monopoly on supplies of the key battery component. Indeed, U.S.-based battery makers are eager to secure alternative suppliers as the higher levies disrupt supply chains and stoke uncertainty, including over future price rises. Vikram Handa, managing director of Epsilon, which makes graphite anode materials for EV batteries, expressed confidence over some new supply deals. "Last month, they were saying let's wait and see how things go. Now we think in the next 60 to 80 days, we will close our contracts," said Handa. Epsilon, which announced plans for a $650 million factory in North Carolina in October 2023, has been working on getting permits and environmental clearances, while waiting for firm orders before putting a shovel in the ground. "The numbers now start making sense for customers to buy from the U.S.," said Handa, adding that the plant, which will have capacity of 30,000 tonnes of anode materials, is expected to be up and running by mid-2027. An EV battery is made up of four components - anode, cathode, electrolyser and separator. The anode contributes to fast-charging and vehicle range. The U.S. needs 500,000 tonnes of anode materials a year for its EV and energy storage battery needs, which were met largely by China, which refines over 90% of the world's graphite into the material used in almost all EV battery anodes. Mumbai-based Epsilon also has plans to invest over $1.1 billion in a 100,000-tonne anode materials facility in India's Karnataka state, but has yet to see serious interest in India. Handa said low Chinese prices were a draw for Indian companies, but he was trying to persuade them to buy at least 20% from Epsilon, so that "if China closes the tap," they had an alternative supplier. "If it is zero (demand for Epsilon's anodes) right now, how will I put up a plant?" he asked. "I hope this rare earth story doesn't play out the same way for battery materials," given Indian companies dependence on them, he said.
