He is white male. No mercy will be shown.
Got that right and people flock to them.
Pretty soon between the first of the year tamale run and Chines buffet, not going to be a stray dog or cat left.
their menu to include hot wings - the whole wing.
The feathers come in a side dish ...
You know what’s good? Barbecue. It is possible to eat Midwest barbecue every day and be happy.
but not possible to eat Midwest Chinese food every day and live ... happiness comes on a relative reading your will.
Shocking: a food critic gets fired for criticizing food.
Years ago I used to inspected Chinese restaurants as a part of my job for insurance companies. Let’s just say I never ever ever eat at them now. Most are dirty with unusual and cheap ingredients
Even in suburban NYC, most Chinese Restaurants do not serve anything that resembles real Chinese cuisine. Some places are better than others, but "horsesh-t" is sadly the norm.

Someone like Andrew Zimmern whose notoriety is for traveling around and eating crazy things like cow vein soup, reindeer testicles, and, of course, bugs, should be able to say, "Hey! How about we stop catering solely to the timid eaters out there and get some serious Chinese food back on restaurant menus?" He cannot, of course and so while the great snowflake masses are celebrating another successful hurt feelings campaign, maybe we should resurrect Chi-Chi's so it can bury Mexican food again under a glob of melted fake cheese and sugary salsa, and give the bland food police social media whiners a place to celebrate. Or better yet, let's just go straight to Demolition Man culinary hell ten years early and make every restaurant Taco Bell.
Agreed.
The guy sounds like another elitist who knows what's best for everyone. Restaurants adjust their menu and pricing to the locale in order to stay in business. The free market system provides en excellent feedback loop. Since the days of the California Gold Rush, Chinese restaurants have adjusted their menus to local tastes and budgets. Like chop suey.
Tell him that the barbecue and fried fish restaurants are horsesh*t there too.
Then let’s go to the coast and see just how many restaurants (including east coast pizzarias) are horsesh*t.
90% of everthing is crud (Sturgeon’s law).
As if he hasn’t eaten horsesh*t food while abroad.
What’d they axe him?
Truth shaming
“The cat’s in the kettle at the Peking Moon...”
(a) the Chinese Buffets in my city are Chinese run, dumbed down with the cheapest ingrediants, and may at times have hispanic cooks in the back.
(b) step into a Chinese restaurant with menu service and you may find a better dining experience.
(c) not all buffets are horrible, at least once upon a time some of them were pretty good.
(d) I do see quite a few asian diners at the Thai buffet I semi-frequent.
maybe pivot on your dining options
Tip: many Chinese restaurants have a separate, Chinese-language menu with completely different items on it. Bring a Chinese-speaking friend along and have him/her order next time - you'll be amazed at the difference.
>>most Asian food is crap...its just a fact
Some Asian food is carp!
I think the boy has a point... Better stay out of those places in Ohio unless you have real good plumbing...
