I went to lunch with a Chinese lady that regularly ordered off the menu at this particular Chinese restaurant. I tried some of hers. It didn’t taste anything remotely like the food I’d ordered. Although, I can’t say that I found it particularly appealing, either…

I had a German office mate that vouched for our oldest local German restaurant being authentic. I love it!

Speaking of Italian food. When well-prepared, I like it. Most “Italian” restaurants are so godawful that I basically won’t go to them. I will mention Venda Ravioli on Federal Hill in Providence, RI, as an exception. Since my son-in-law is named Mastrianni, and we have good friends named Basignani, we don’t lack for the real stuff.

I feel the same about Chinese as Italian. Sadly, no Chinese cooks in my clan. If you are ever in Boca Raton, hit Uncle Tai (no, it’s not a Thai place).

Ditto Mexican. I will plug Eduardo de San Angel in Fort Lauderdale.

Gerry: Vietnamese unseated Italian as my favorite cuisine about four years ago. Do go. Delicious!

Brina Bat: At the airport.

Charles: Would she smile on cue?

Tami: It’s the real deal. This is the spiritual follow-up to Pyromania and Hysteria. And thanks for the recommendations; I’ll check those out.

Re Def Lep’s latest album: Does it RAWK like Pyromania and Hysteria? Or is it full of more sappy, pop-radio-ready pablum that they’ve put out the last few times?

I’m enjoying Tantric’s latest “The End Begins” and Disturbed’s ‘Indestructible” … Rock on, dude!

I met a Blue Angel in a bay out on Chesapeake bar…

Oh dear. You did the Ace-Ventura butt-talking thing? You know he’s going to do it now…

Where are the Blue Angels flying?

I’m not a huge fan of Vietnamese food but the last time I went with Bo I found something I liked. It was chicken soup. It was cooked in special clay pots, called something else and had a few different spices then mom’s but it was basically chicken soup.

Real men go home to their wives.

Yes. Yes they do.

Since my tour of duty in Viet Nam, I’ve never eaten in a Vietnamese restaurant. Make no conclusions about this other than what I tell you:

I was in Nha Trang for several months, and had to travel across the city every day to my duty (which I cannot tell you about). We passed by the Nuoc Mam factory every day. I recall nothing in my life which smelled so bad as this place they made the ubiquitous national condiment. Man, that place stank. It has “flavored” my view of Vietnamese food ever since.

I’ll relent one of these days.

Ah. The ‘hog.

The new Vietnamese place is Saigon, and it’s in that shopping center where China King used to be on 20 (like north of Krystal).
