When you get “axed” by the Travel Channel, you’re done.
Well, I believe him as he’s a Minnesota boy and should know midwest better than most...
Of course, he was a heroin addict and had to go through treatment three times...
Good oriental food in the middle of Kansas is just as common as fresh seafood.
I don’t know about the Midwest, but he certainly would have been right about the South. There’s no scarier restaurant than a “Chinese Buffet” down here!
All of these tv chefs and traveling tv foodies are deeply obnoxious, conceited and annoying so I’m not surprised another one’s mouth ran away from him. Whether he should be fired is another thing.
I’m in a different region of the country now and cannot find decent Chinese food. Sad!
They got caught taking their dog out for a wok.
most Asian food is crap...its just a fact
he’s not wrong. Outside of the cities, finding a descent asian/Chinese restaurant is almost impossible.
The s—t they consider “chinese” food is a friggin joke. Steamed chicken thighs with sugary sauce, deep fried battered mystery parts and bland rice is the norm.
Finding a well prepared pork course, or properly prepared chinese broccoli, or handpulled noodles is more difficult than finding an honest democrat.
This isn’t the thought police. This is him being an asshole. And paying the price.
There are parts of Atlanta where you can get really good authentic Asian food. But yeah, that generic Chinese Buffet in a rural-ish town? MAJOR SKIP!

You know what’s good? Barbecue. It is possible to eat Midwest barbecue every day and be happy.
Chinese buffets run from barely edible to “I’m going to be sick”.
If I want decent Chinese food there are a few restaurants that I will eat at.
And I’m not sure why he would get fired for his statement as it serves as a warning to his viewers.
Around here most Chinese pick up places have expanded their menu to include hot wings - the whole wing.
Hey, it’s a steady seller.
Not long and I’ll bet they start adding gizzards and livers.
Will admit I love a large order of gizzards with hot sauce for lunch.
One of the virtues of being Chinese is that you can't stand to waste anything. Think about it.
We’re outside the city by a long ways. The food here is excellent. The trashy buffets have been run out by decent food. Add to that my wife was a chef in Taiwan and people beg to be invited over for supper here.

Wisconsin Chinese food often comes with a side of roach legs while the meat comes from various disappeared pets ...
only the un-battered shrimp and salmon is safe to eat because they come straight from shrimp and salmon farms, having digested wholesome food coloring, delicious cuprous oxides (salt water bottom paint), various hormones, and antibiotics so you know they are tasty and disease free.
