Uh real Chinese food is butt nasty dude.

And Jessica Alba is an ugly hoe.

Dont bother arguing with him. Food is just a personal preference thing so if he thinks real Chinese food is nasty that's his choice.

Ever had sauteed turtle in the shell? What about duck tongue? Or cut up pieces of snake (with the spine)?

Some of the delicacies from the buffet line in Changsha.

Good rule to live by: chains suck! You'll get far better pizza at local joints instead of Pizza Hut or Dominos. If you want great seafood look to the shore, not Red Lobster. Almost any Italian restaurant will be better than Olive Garden and Taco Bell damn sure isn't good Mexican or even Tex-Mex. Why would you think things would be any different for Chinese? Want to find a good restaurant, find out where the locals eat. If you follow names, chains and tourists you'll never get a good meal.

:thumbsup:

great rule to live by...or at least, eat by 🙂

Too bad the Chinese food served in US restaurants doesn't really resemble the Chinese food in China.

Certainly wasn't the same thing when I was there last December.

And most American food doesn't resemble the stuff Emeril makes. What's your point? You want to go to Chinese restaurants and eat bowls of rice and maybe a little bit of fish?

Anyway, PF Chang isn't even Chinese owned...

My point is that people start talking about "authentic Chinese food" in blasting PF Chang's but have no idea what it actually is (which, correct me if I'm wrong, should be what's actually served in China). I'm not talking about peasant food, but I think what's served at a Chinese hotel passes for Chinese food, right?

It's called "hypocrisy". Look it up.

Never eat in a "Chinese" restaurant where white people serve you.

Wow, that's just sad. 🙁

So I guess you never eat in a italian restaurant where skinny non-white mobsters serve you? 😛

I think it would depend more on the cook and his skill then his ethnic background.

LOL, did ever think about why they changed Chinese food when they came to America? Mainly because Americans didn't like the authentic stuff.

That said, I am really not a fan of exotic stuff - snakes, squids etc.

i'd be a moron if i went into a placed named 'bistro' and expect any chinese food whatsoever.

Hello!?!?!?! It's a chinese restaurant catered for middle class (no offense) white people. Next time, remember to swing by your nearest China town for CHINESE FOOD.

The problem is most Americans don't like eating cat and dog. 🙁

To each his own, I liked it.

I still don't see how they are so radically different from every other animal you butcher and eat, but then again, I'm Chinese.

At least you manned up and admitted your mistake. Just learn from it and move on.

I don't want real Chinese food. I've seen English translations of the second menu Chinese restraunts keep just for Chinese people, and that sh|t isn't very appetizing. Worse - I've seen Chinese people ordering and eating stuff off it. It's vomit inducing.

PF Chang's is good because it's a lot cleaner and nicer than the typical Mom and Pop Chinese restraunt. Nowadays, the only time I ever get Chinese it's at PF Changs.

 

[Xyclone]

I went there once, the food wasn't bad dude.

 

[Injury]

First off... the PFC I always go to rocks. Chang's Spicy Chicken or Mongolian Beef = win.

Second... it's not chinese. It's American Chinese. Everyone there will tell you it's American Chinese. It's not authentic Chinese, it's Chinese as prepared by American chefs. It would be like going to China and having a Chinese chef making you a nice big apple pie.

You want "authentic" Chinese... go to some city's China town... or better yet... go to China.

You're aware that any kind of authentic cuisine will have its more questionable items, right? If you've ever cared to dine at any fine French restaurants, for example, you'd realize that French food can be something deliciously exquisite like a Roti of Quail and Squab stuffed with mushrooms and Jus with Truffles just as much as it could be a platter of fried escargot (snails) and frog legs. The same goes for Chinese. Or Indian. Or whatever.
"Real" food of any culture encompasses so many different categories and styles that to say that a certain country's authentic style of cooking is "butt nasty" is just silly.

Yes, I've had all kinds of "real" Chinese food, and it's been anything from absolutely delicious to downright questionable, to put it charitably.

Overgeneralizing is stupid.

You're making a mistake by lumping Americanized Chinese food (e.g. Orange Chicken, Chop Suey) and something like, say, Schezuan cuisine or any other region-specific culinary style into the same category.
And Americanized Chinese food wasn't created because Americans didn't like the authentic stuff. Chop Suey, for example, was created when Chinese chefs had a bunch of leftover veggies, didn't know wtf to do with them, and stir fried them together with some sauce. For whatever reason, it became a hit.

I'd go on, but Wikipedia has already done the work for me, it seems.
