I think this is more of a popularity contest than a true food comparison test. Click here to vote. I pulled the lever for the hometown team.
I suppose that someone can make that argument that none of the food served at these places is "real" Chinese food.
This reminds me of a quote from Season 1 of the Amazing Race. Fraternity brothers Kevin and Drew were in China. I think it was Drew that was being interviewed, and he said, "we're taking a break to have a little Chinese food - or as they call it here in China, 'food'." That always gives me a laugh. I guess I'm sort of simple that way.
Hey, If loving PF Changs is wong, then I don't wanna be right.
ReplyDeleteMrs. BM, you grab takeout from PF Changs, I'll stop at Grace's, and then we can both head to Simple Pleasures for dessert.
ReplyDeleteI lived in South Korea for several years and did eat "real" Chinese food. Once. It all tasted like it had been cooked in rancid grease. I never had worse food, even when I was living on a remote mountaintop with the Korean army. We ate fish soup three meals a day for two weeks when they couldn't resupply us. Even that was better than Chinese food.
ReplyDeleteBob, my wife's brother had some roommates from China, and I used to see some crazy stuff in the fridge - chicken's feet, for example. Although it's not a Chinese restaurant, my wife's favorite restaurant is up your way - Thai Landing in Baltimore.
