You do realize that most of the food you are served in restaurants is purchased from Restaurant Supply Catalogues, is shipped/delivered frozen, then reheated...Unless you are patronizing a scratch made establishment, in which case you would know by the size of the bill they present you with when you are done eating.

I don't think we are ever fed cat at a normal chinese place.  It would be more expensive than getting the market stuff off the USA Foods truck.  

I have eaten dog in the ROK, when in Rome and all.  It is not good at all.  I will stick with the mystery meat that is served here in the US.

Who needs all those regulations & gov't inspectors keeping the good Chinese restaurant owners from making money, let the free market decide what restaurant survives & what restaurant dies!

I'll agree with him.  I worked in commercial refrigeration for 10 years doing primarily restaurant work.  Asian kitchens in general are the worst but the Chinese buffet places are beyond disgusting.  Two things I won't do anymore is eat at an asian buffet or eat subway ice.  Only place I can think of around here that was equally disgusting was the build your own stir fry places.
