TURNING CHINAMERICAN
David Fongs - Bloomington, MN

Went to this joint for a birthday party. What a trip. We entered what
we thought was the restaurant. But the place looked like a typical
sports bar. Not the kitchy 1950's joint we had in mind. Bar was packed
with dudes in ball caps. The floor was thick with dead pull tabs.
Turns out this was not the real restaurant. The real place was next
door. Yeah, this joint had that Americanized Chinese décor we were
expecting. The food was awful, but the joint was a trip.
