Also, attempt to find menus for Chinese restaurants. (I didn't realize

people there in 10 days.)
Because of the review, or because of the other people in the group?

Well, I want to go out because of the group, but I'm on the fence about the menu. :) The review is glowing, but I'm pickier than the reviewer.

Hard to go wrong with veggie fried rice. :D

A couple years back some Buddhist friends of mine invited me to a celebration of the Chinese new year, which coincided with the Buddhist one. The menu was *very* special and was served at one of Milwaukee's better known Chinese restaurants.

By very special I mean things like jellyfish.

It was a surprise. I toyed with the idea of dragging them off to a German restaurant and subjecting them to specialties such as steak Tartar.

When East meets West, gustatory shocks cannot be too far behind.
