Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Asian Dining Rules'
In Vancouver, which has a beautiful Chinatown/Asian section, depending on what bit you're in. The wife was running a marathon the next day, but we still wanted to see the city, so myself, her, and her mom went to this second floor dim sum place. The better half being a vegetarian at the time, and both of them being Asian, things got complicated. First off, a rapid fire burst of Cantonese, then Mandarin from waiter #1. She waved over waiter #2, who offered up Thai, Malay, and something else. We only know English, so we're stuck as carts start coming. And to top it all off, the only way I can express 'no pig' is to push my nose back with my finger and oink, followed by a head shake. Good food, though, I'd go back.
Cook the Book: 'Eat Me: The Food and Philosophy of Kenny Shopsin'
I think everyone makes up a dish or two, they probably just don't realize it at the time. Me, I do a few things, that just came to me, like a honey lavender ice cream, because, of course, I like those things, and I said, sure, put them together.
The two things I've really, purely invented: the (just to be funny) Deep Fried Turkey Napoleon, which is just layers of my deep fried turkey, mashed potatoes, and wild rice stuffing. Even used a pseudo-ring mold.
And the Triple Decker PBJ Plus, three slices of bread, a slathering of peanut butter and jelly (two each, of course), and slices of banana throughout. Good on its own, not bad grilled, either. The King would love it.
Restaurant Shirts Are the New Concert Tee
I've seen a lot of restaurant shirts lately, but hadn't put the thought together in my head. Guess it makes sense, it's definitely a culture. And I do understand what you're saying, it goes back to PCU. Don't be that guy. Don't be the guy at the show that wears the t-shirt of the band that's playing. It's hard to pinpoint the lameness, but it's definitely there.
My friends and I have a fake restaurant that we'll never actually start, but we already have the t-shirts drawn up for it, logos and everything. Guess we're ahead of the curve.

I'm not going to go all ga ga for McD's, I don't like them, but I'll say this. I know in London McD's has samosas, it's veggie in India, different menus for different places. I even looked inside the one across from the Parthenon, and I think they might've had pasta? I'd be willing to bet that a McDonald's cheeseburger in Spain is far better than an American one, regardless of price.
