eh, they will be hungry again in an hour...
That explains the fat buyers waddling to open houses in California.

Is this a satire site?
“You have to eat everything that other people, especially older family members or colleagues, put on your plate, no matter how much you dislike it and how full you are, or else you’ll be seen as rude”
It’s not that it’s rude, it’s to not waste food and to be obedient.
And also, if you don’t absolutely clean every rice grain off the plate, your wife will have a pockmarked face, or your husband will be ugly.
My first job was waitressing at a Chinese restaurant. Totally craving that food right now.
The article made reference to something called “gutter oil”. I had to look that one up. Here’s video of the making of gutter oil...ugh!
I don’t give a good damn about what Li Lin thinks. I had some great Yui Shan beef this evening at a restaurant in Phoenix named the Bamboo House, corner of 7th and Thunderbird (Road not wine).
Mmmmmm!
Partially digested cormorant droppings fried-up in gutter oil.
That’s a catfish turd buffet!
There is nothing that walks, flies or creeps along the ground that the Chinese will not skewer, fry and eat.
How so satire? A business dinner in China makes one in the US or Europe seem like a quick snack. They usually last two or three hours with dish after dish washed down with beer and maotai (think rocket fuel with a fragrant hint of turpentine) toasts. Never left one unstuffed or sober.
I had come across this a while back - simply ghastly
Thanks for the recommendation. We don't really eat Chinese food much, but we'll mark that restaurant for a try some time. Cheers!
Oh, and BTW - other than "Fogo De Chao" in Scottsdale, we have a new Brasilian restaurant in town: Carvalho's Brazilian Kitchen Scottsdale
Try the coxinhas, the fried mandioca com alho (yucca) and just about anything they serve except the feijoada unless you are into gas warfare...
I was trying to make a joke that what was being described as dietary horror, sounded like heaven.
In regards to 2 or 3 hour business lunches being long, although I was with the French Army (in France) and not the population, their meals were all leisurely and very long.
Thanks. I misunderstood the “satire” comment. Long relaxed meals, with lots of table conversation, is healthier than consuming the same amount of food on one overloaded plate (or several in a buffet place) in a half hour. Wine may not be the only reason the French can eat their cream and butter laden food without becoming obese. And the Chinese style of rotating a couple dozen “courses” on to a big turntable so you can take little bites of food at leisure is maybe the most enjoyable way to dine.
A Texas BBQ is also a long, meat filled meal with beer.
I'll have to try that one. I usually go to Nee House at Tatum and Thunderbird...or slog all the way down to Chandler. :)

You’ll like the Bamboo House. It serves beer. Opens at 11 AM, closes 10 PM or so. Great place for breakfast next door.
I’m partial to Mexican (I love Valle Luna but it’s always real crowded). I may try Nee House in the next couple of days.
Enjoy.
