Me No Joke
Last night at the dept holiday dinner, we ate at PF CHANG'S and they brought out CREAM to serve with the tea.
GAME OVER.
Cream? With tea? At a "Chinese" restaurant? I wanted Anthony Bourdain to walk into the place to flip some tables over. Meanwhile, coworkers were going bananas over everything - including the "banana spring rolls" dessert. Also absurd? BIKINI SHRIMP. No lie, that is on the menu.
I'm not a "foodie" (god, I hate this word) by any means - I love Doritos and Spam ham for christ's sake - but I really hate how lots of white people love PF Chang's and think it's the real deal. I'd rather eat at Panda Express b/c at least then you'd get what you were paying for. And it's fair to say my disdain for PF Chang's stems from this statement that I heard several years ago:
"I love PF Chang's b/c it's Chinese food without the Chinese people!"
Bitch was lucky the elevator was crowded and I was trapped in the corner while her and her herd of Uggs boots donning cronies were getting off at their floor.
Listen, if you want Chinese food then you will have to go to a place w/gaudy red and gold decor. You will have to endure the "noise" of loud Cantonese being shouted across tables. You will use the lazy susan to get the soy sauce and you will marvel at the giant fish tank that doesn't look like it has been cleaned since 1962. It's party of the entire experience and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love my peoples so don't you dare come marching into this town w/your PF Chang's and tell me that is CHINESE food.
Oh, I am also angry about this:

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?
