What's your #1 thing at the Chinese ?

What do you mean?

Ha. Every one of those dishes would get you thrown out of Chinatown! :-)

Peking Duck (done right), it's like eating fried bacon...food of the gods...yum...

[Hector]

i'm a bbq pork fried rice guy myself.

Love that too.

Man...you should show me around San Francisco's Chinatown one day (I'm sure you've visited Oakland's)...I know you know your stuff...educate me, take me to the hardcore stuff...I'll eat most anything...

Peppered chicken is always pretty good...

What we consider to be "Chinese" food is often very different from true traditional Chinese cuisine.
The Chinese have changed a lot of dishes to suit Western tastes.

It's like Italian food: don't go to Italy to order "spaghetti bolognese with grated cheese"...

Yeah just watch Bizarre Foods or any of the billion travel shows Anthony Bourdain has on for when either goes to any part of China.

Egg foo young and sweet and sour chicken are my go to meals. Chicken and rice soup is still a comfort food in my house...my nanny used to have it at all times.

Gotta have a real, non diet coke with Chinese too.....ice cold.

Basically the same thing, only in the Western World dogs, cats and rats are replaced with beef, pork and chicken ;

I go to one place just for the General Tso's. I'm guessing that they cut up fresh chicken breasts and go from there. It's perfect.

I go to another 2 places for Ginger Chicken & Basil Chicken or Harvest Chicken.

I go to a third place for curry (red, yellow or green - all good).

I'll also give props to Pei Wei for Thai Dynamite.

Salmonella. That's the last thing I had from a Chinese restaurant.

Yang Chow Restaurant is the local place to go here. Their Slippery Shrimp is just diabolical.

[torgospizza]

I'm a sucker for the hot and sour soup.

Me, too. There are a lot of times I grab a quart to go and that's it.
