In response to the earlier Italian thread.

CHINESE

Slimy noodles, not sure what all they put on the different types but they are greasy and slimy
CAT! Everything they call chicken does not have the texture of any chicken I ever saw.

Granted it's usually cheaper than Italian but I can't swallow it

Battali is an artist and a genius.  Seriously, one of the best chefs ever.  By all accounts a nice guy too.

Real Chinese food is phenomenal. Soup dumplings, scallion pancakes, spicy cukes could be my last meal. Americanized Chinese not so much. Szechuan is really tasty as well. You have to go authentic, or you are eating salt, brown sauce, and corn syrup. One of my favorite meals to make at home- ginger scallion noodles. This recipe comes from David Chang of Momofuku fame, but it's really a rip off of the Chinatown version. Try it and be amazed.

Never understood how Bourbon Chicken found its way into mall Chinese offerings.

Nasty, hard, thick, fried "dough" with cream cheese inside?

I've never had a good Rangoon, or one with the purported "crab" anywhere to be seen or tasted. Even in otherwise good restaurants.

I vote for ban.

I prefer the thin crispy ones akin to rice paper wrapped.

Those are ok.

You either have bad sushi joints, or cannot be trusted for culinary advice.

I like all of them.

Why limit yourself.

People who try a "category" once and then swear it all off as "nasty" crack me up.

That's like saying you don't like Meatloaf, so All American food is crap.

I don't like eel.

Obviously there aren't any sushi /sashimi dishes I care for, then, right?

And you are wrong.  

As Twain said on touring in Europe, that there are Americans who will say they were satisfied by a Continental breakfast, but there are also Americans who will lie.  The same thing is in effect here.  A "bistec" I recall it being called, will be a disappointment to any American.

What sucks worse than Italian?  SHITTY Italian.   Like Olive Garden or any other chain Italian place (Carraba's, etc.).
FFS no fucking more.

And a froggy won't like American beef. It's a matter of being used to a certain taste and texture. A bistec generally comes from a much leaner, older animal. It's not supposed to be marbled. I hated American beef when I came here, and now that I'm Americanized, I hate French beef.

If you go to Italy and can't appreciate the food and wine, you have a serious problem.  

There's a little wine bar at the foot of the Spanish Steps where they don't have red and white on tap behind the bar, but they do have every bottle imaginable.  You want a '98 Barolo?  They have it.  They have it all.  Behind the bar are cured meats, cheeses, and olives.    


A proper Tuscan Steak is huge and puts most American beef to shame.   Bistecca alla Fiorentina is a great cut, if you are in Italy and want a giant meat course.   Italy knows beef, because leather was war materiel back in the days of the Machiavelli. They had it figured out.

If you're ever in Baltimore, come find this place and make sure they don't just give you the round eye menu.

It's on the round eye menu. This place is in a strip mall, a couple doors down from a big asian supermarket. If you go, there's a good chance you'll be the only non asians in the place.
