I need a cigarette now.

I wish we had those boxes here in the states.

Ah, you might eat more healthily, but you have all the smoking now. You’re welcome (from Virginia, a heavy tobacco exporting state).

But you bring up General Tso’s chicken which actually goes to my point that Asian cuisine is muddled in the States. General Tso’s is no more a Chinese dish than California rolls are Japanese. So, ignorance of the cuisine isn’t really inexcusable since many Asain-cuisine restaurants are only tangentially related to…

Ooooo, that's the most fun, isn’t it?

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.

I object to the term “premarital” which by its very use imposes a judgement placing “marital” status as a preferred outcome over remaining non-married or in some other non-traditional relationship for the rest of your life. There are words that can be used that don’t ram a value system down someone’s throat.…

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.
