Had mediocre chinese food tonight for dinner at a place around the corner from my hotel. Its raining pretty hard, and I have work to do tonight so I didn't want to travel too far. I hopped on yelp, yelped (is that a verb?) the neighborhood and decided on the Chinese place.
boots on, raincoat buttoned, umbrella out. Got to the restaurant. People are very friendly and the place is busy. I order vegetarian spring rolls and orange tofu. Around the restaurant are pictures of various politicians posing with employees and owner.
I'm not the biggest Chinese food fan. I enjoy it from time to time, but definitely don't get pee pants over it. I wouldn't say I was a Chinese food snob, until tonight. We are spoiled living in the Bay Area, and take the Chinese food for granted.
I had, easily, the worst spring rolls of my life. it had this flavored tofu in it that was awful.
The orange tofu was much better. In fact it was on the good side of okay. Not pee pants good, but good. it was served with a pile of shredded iceberg lettuce and a maraschino cherry on the top of the lettuce pile.
Leaving the restaurant, I look over to the wall of photos, and notice one of Hilary Clinton. My immediate thought was not "oh hey, its hilary and she ate here!". My immediate thought was "she apparently didn't have the spring rolls".
I'm a Chinese food snob.
