you know the places where pop is in cans

Places where the pop is in cans is hardly a guarantee of either quality or integrity, it's a place where they can't or won't afford a fountain and will almost certainly be nickel and diming in other places (I suspect most of these joints of buying garbage ingredients and/or paying their workers under the table). Look for a place where the fountain soda tastes fresh and strong, means they don't cheap out on syrup and keep the machine clean and maintained, that's a place that takes pride in what it serves.

 

[Falcon Sebben]

Some of the best "Chinese" really American Chinese food you can get is at little hole in the walls you know the places where pop is in cans and they make the food when you order it.

We used to go to a place like this and it was the best Chinese food out there. The tables were covered in just layers of plastic wrap and the only thing to drink was cans of pop. Once done they'd just bundle the entire contents of the table up in the plastic wrap and carry it to the kitchen.

But no word of a lie. Best Chinese food out there.

can't or won't afford a fountain

That certainly is alarming. Soda is one of the most lucrative items on any menu. Soda costs the equivalent of nothing compared to food/land/labor costs. It's a massively high profit item. If you can't afford a fucking soft drink machine, you are doing something horribly wrong.

I once got noro from a Chinese buffet and would never have dreamed of eating the sushi they had. It's the worst I've ever felt in my entire life including when I broke a bone and got a concussion.

Second that remark. I had sushi a decade ago. I spent the night on the toilet with my rear Auschwitz aching something fierce. It wasn't even some shitkicker franchise place, it was authentic Japanese. I was violated by a goddamned Tojo.

Against my better judgement I had some again earlier last year. It tasted like meat jelly.

Most of the time yes, but there's some circumstances where it doesn't make any sense. First, places that are just too small for it(like Laughjoke2.0 mentioned) or don't want to sacrifice the space and it is yet another item that requires cleaning and maintenance. The other especially with regard to asian restaurants sometimes it's just not as big a seller and isn't a primary drink option because most people will just drink tea/water/booze instead of Americans wanting their high fructose corn syrup, or simply because they also get imported sodas that they wouldn't be able to get syrup to use in a fountain.

If you're only selling a dozen cans of coke a day, meanwhile you're going through a couple dozen cans of whatever yuzu soda you've got from some importer, and piles of tea instead through dinner, it just doesn't make sense.

Don't get stuck on the pop cans I was setting up atmosphere not meaning all places although the two I remember fondly did only sell cans of soda and bottles of water and tea. Ironically the opposite end of the spectrum the other places I had really good Chinese food at and these places usually had authentic Chinese food were high end restaurants that served only hot tea.

In my experience it's the middle of the road places like Jack visits that the Chinese food is mediocre to bad.

Edit: Typo.

He strikes me as a Chinese buffet guy. All those greasy noodles by the barrel-ful.

Like most Asian businesses they tend to have a sign saying No Filming.

Sushi is one thing you don't want to cheap out on

I suck at drawing. I can have a clear picture of a horse in my head, but if i try to draw it, it will come out all retarded with freakish proportions, but i have no intention in getting better at it, it's not really important to me

Yeah but did you try to make your entire career about being a horse drawing dude? I don't think so.

Jack sucks at cooking, but he made it his career, and he expects to be taken seriously.

He sucks at cooking, and he wants you to think he doesn’t. The polar opposite of Kay’s cooking.

And really proud of it.

It’s also something some spend years learning to master. More time than what Jack would spend on a video.

Given fatty's tendency of undercooking food, if he ever cooked seafood it would likely be sushi

It may be sushi in the technical sense only.

It's amazing how much your local American Chinese food spot can mean to you and to a neighborhood as a whole. One day they delivered food to our house when I was visiting from school and the mom of the establishment (who hadn't seen me in a few years) said basically, "Oh wow, you live here?! I remember you! We deliver to this address all the time! So this is your family!"

It was actually really sweet. She told me her name and revealed her family was moving back to China. God, that made me sad! They had literally been like a short bike ride away my whole life. We tipped huge to thank them for everything, hugged it out and she went back to her Civic to give us a bunch of free two-liter Sprites, lol. I hope they all just made bank and happily retired.

Been searching for years for Chinese food that hits the same. And I don't think it's just rose-tinted glasses, because two Chinese spots have come and gone from that same location since the OGs left.

Yeah, whenever I visit my folks back home I always stop at the local Chinese place we always went to. Same family owns it now. But now the little girl that was always in there doing homework looks just like her mom did 35 years ago. The food never changes. It’s not Mott St NYC Chinese, but it’s 80% of the way there. Which is leagues ahead of the other dumpy places that have come and gone over the years in the area.


Now china town Chinese American is really something else. Go to Wo Hop, Hop Kee, Mei Lei Wah, super taste noodles, etc. so good to just get an egg roll and tea to warm up on a cold afternoon when they are not busy,

They won't even let you near the fish until you've mastered the rice. Meaning you're going to be intimately familiar with the rice before you're even allowed to start slicing the fish.

He's admitted in the past that cooking fish scares him.

This was in our local Chinatown and it was always filled with Chinese people so they must have been doing something right.

Typically we were the only round-eyes in the place.

It's always a coin toss when the Mexicans are doing the sushi. I give them the benefit of the doubt, but historically...yeah.
