All the time. We make the best Chinese in the area. Of course, I always joke that it most isn't Chinese food, just food made by Chinese people. Seriously, 3/4 of the food on the menu aren't authentic Chinese dishes.

Lucky bastard. I'd totally work at a chinese place, but the only decent places around here are family run and only hire relatives

That's pretty much how I got into this. Family run. And sometimes we hire out to people that aren't Asian mostly for the delivery guy or waiter, but since we're a bit cheap for employing, it's best to hire family cause we apparently work for cheap.

Yes, but even delivery places can do plastic now, the delivery guy just brings the receipt for the purchaser to sign.
I went to New Hope, PA, two weeks ago, which is a little quaint tourist trap on the Delaware, only with bikers and hippies. Almost nobody took cash. Understandably, the guy running the parking lot didn't, as he was just one guy in the open, but a lot of the mom and pop stores didn't take it either, despite the fact that some of the stuff was pretty expensive. I know there are extra fees, but given the cash-less society today, they're losing business. There are tons of Chinese people in New Jersey, and the rule on Chinese restaurants for me is, the more Chinese people actually eating there, the better. (So not PF Chang's.) |

It's what Olive Garden is to Italians. I thought it was pretty good too, but I don't know if I'd call it good Chinese food.

After eating at a real Italian place, I can no longer eat Olive Garden without feeling ripped off

My last unit assignment before I got out of the U.S. Army was the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, New York. The city of Watertown was approximately six miles to the south. There was a little Chinese resturant there. The chef was the owner. The place was a dive (just a hole in the wall), but the food was amazing. The owner had been a cook at a Chinese restaraunt in Chinatown in Boston. There was always a couple old (Chinese) codgers hanging out reading Chinese language newspapers, smoking and playing dominoes.
I didn't realize until we left Ft. Drum that we were getting some great Chinese food there. Never had anything that good since. |

Unless these guys that HAS been shoving their cards in my face has encountered a delivery guy with a portable card machine to swipe.
