'One of the most important things to have in your life is a Chinese American restaurant that not only delivers but is consistently good. It’s rarer than you think. It’s often the reason I never give recommendations to people in this arena because, without fail, they always seem to go on an “off-night,” and then I end up looking stupid. I am currently in a phase where I have a roster, if you will, of Chinese restaurants that all do specific things correctly.

The variations are endless, plus it allows for much more significant portion sizes than D1 – D18 Dinner Combos.
