Ummm.... General Tso’s chicken isn’t Thai food (it’s not really Chinese either). Naples, Florida is not the same bastion of stupidity that most of the rest of the state is. Most people, I would bet, are urbane enough to know that sushi isn’t Thai food.

The sushi at Sushi Thai is of the Japanese variety. There is no clever crossover intent. Just two great cuisines at one place.

Funny, I can’t remember the last time I had Chinese... I can remember the last time I had Ethiopian. And sushi is a staple in my diet (even from Harris Teeter). There is a great cheesesteak place nearby that makes them almost as good as the ones I’m used to from South Jersey, so that is often my delivery food. (Pizza…

The girls only became idiots after they didn’t believe that there wasn’t lo mien on the menu. To ask isn’t exactly idiotic when we, in the US, are often accustomed to westernized, multi-ethnic Asian cuisine lumped together on one menu. I get that it’s fun for us to sit back and chuckle at these girls’ expense - and I…

I which case, the burden of idiocy is on the restaurants. Yes, the girls were morons after it was explained to them that there was not, in fact, lo mien at the Japanese restaurant. But to ask for it isn’t exactly idiotic in this world of multi-ethnic Asian cuisine restaurants that we are used to in this country.

Judge away, my taste buds don’t care what you think.

Oh wait, it’s not near the zoo, it’s much closer to Dupont Circle. Still on Connecticut, just north of the Circle. 1731 Connecticut Ave., NW.

Haha, on Connecticut Ave, NW. In Washington, DC. All 50 states have an Avenue somewhere, although you’ll mostly ever hear about the original 13 colonies, Florida Avenue, and Wisconsin Avenue. Oh, and I suppose, Maine Avenue sometimes.

City Lights of China on Connecticut near the zoo was my go to when I lived in the city. Admittedly, I haven’t eaten there in over 5 years since I’m now in Manassas and was previously in Florida. Best cheesesteak outside of Phillie is just down the road from me, so I’m a happy little fatty.

My guess is that you are some sort of doctor or expert in the field who has amble knowledge of multiple studies to make such a claim. FWIW, I’m not going to argue with someone who says X causes Y because a) I’m not a doctor and b) other peoples’ reasons for eating or not eating certain things are none of my business -…

I want to eat there now! Give me all the snails, duck, and frogs’ legs. (Yes, I know you didn’t mention frogs’ legs, but really, they are a tasty treat.)

There may be slightly better Thai food in Naples, but it’s nice to have Thai and sushi available.

Yeah.... but.... I would agree with you if I didn’t have two fine examples that prove otherwise. One here in DC and another in Florida. I guess the Chinese really are angling to take over the world.

Naw, because I would have laughed privately if she’d had an allergic reaction. I’m a total asshole.

I’m going to go out on a limb to defend this stupid, stupid woman. My guess isn’t that she has an allergy per se, but that nuts are a migraine trigger. And I hope to the flying spaghetti monster that she got one as a result of tasting the boyfriend’s food.

Not to defend the idiocy, but some Thai/Vietnamese/Chinese/Japanese places do cross the borders and offer food from all over Asia if not the world. One of my fave Thai places in Naples, Florida has great sushi. And my fave Chinese place has great french fries and chicken tenders.

And a lot of places, corporate places, have published allergy menus available at the host stand. These are an invaluable tool.

I love and eat cheese all the time, even if it often destroys my stomach. I noticed in France though, where I essentially ate my weight in cheese daily, my stomach was just fine. I wonder if there is something in the US pasteurization process. Drank a lot of great wine too...

I can imagine a scenario where the insurance company doesn’t pay out because a policy isn’t followed correctly. I’m in no way condoning the firing of the manager, however.

It is to a pregnant fast food manager. Shit, it is to me too.
