When
we
started
BBDO
over
5
years
ago,
I
made
a
conscious
decision
not
to
review
Chinese
restaurants,
not
due
to
xenophobia
or
any
such
nonsense,
but
solely
due
to
the
fact
that
they
all
server
basically
the
same
Anglo-influenced
Chinese
fare.
Then
we
realized
execution
could
play
a
factor
here
and
allow
a
separation
if
I
used
a
baseline.
After
a
survey
of
several
thousand
(thank
you
one
and
all)
Big
Boy
Dining
Out
readers,
the
dishes
chosen
are
General
Tso's
Chicken,
steamed
dumplings
and
the
standard
egg
rolls.
Entering
the
place
I
was
immediately
overcome
with
a
dismal
vibe.
It
was
clean
and
neat
and
everything
it
just
didn't
give
off
a
very
happy
atmosphere.
Coco
is
our
moderately
charming
fùwùyuàn
although
I
don't
think
she
spoke
any
English
at
all,
which
just
pointing
out
here,
would
be
helpful
in
the
service
industry
in
a
country
where
the
overwhelming
majority
of
the
populace
speak
it.
At
this
point,
I
would
start
peppering
this
review
with
a
fair
amount
of
charentisimistic
phrases,
but
that
would
hinder
our
BBDO
policy
of
calling
it
like
it
is.
The
General
Tso
Chicken,
which
was
invented
in
California,
must
have
been
left
over
from
the
laying
of
the
transcontinental
railroad
as
it
had
the
consistency
of
the
gizzard
and
tasted
excruciatingly
bad.
The
meat
was
impossible
to
chew
without
the
aid
of
mechanized
jaws
and
it
seemed
to
be
drenched
in
maple
syrup.
The
dumplings
were
just
like
the
dumplings
I
have
consumed
many
times
in
the
past.
They
were
steamed
and
contained
a
mix
of
meat
and
veggies.
The
egg
roll
was
2
instead
of
4
inches
long.
Other
than
that,
it
tasted
like
the
millions
of
egg
rolls
I've
had
in
my
lifetime.
The
accompanying
sauces
for
both
the
dumplings
and
egg
roll
were
as
expected.
Not
freshly
made,
but
tasty
enough.
As
I
was
paying
my
bill,
I
took
a
passing
glance
at
the
owner
who
poured
over
a
checkbook
with
a
very
unsightly
look
on
his
face.
The
Big
Boy
says,
“With
over
100
Chinese
restaurants
in
Brevard
County,
hopefully,
the
checkbook
perusal
means
this
dump
is
going
out
of
business.
Don't.
Just
don't”
