CHOP SUEY

Definition: Chinese-style American dish consisting of small pieces of meat, chicken, etc., cooked together with bean sprouts, onions, mushrooms or other vegetables and seasoning, in a gravy, often served with rice and soy sauce. Alternative definition: Odds & ends...

1) Sonic's Chicago Dog - It took me months to get around to trying this as they seemed to always be out of poppy seed buns at the only Sonic around here (Santee). When they finally had one, it was so stale I am still having a hard time believing that the guy actually had the nerve to serve it to me (he had to have noticed while he was assembling it)...

2) Pizza Hut's P-Zone - I love a good calzone but this isn't it. The crust was so hard I threw it away without even taking a bite...

3) Burger King's new California Burger - This was semi-enjoyable but only because we went to another Burger King and had them cook it fresh, instead of slopping another one out of that vat of warm water they store them in at our local BK and then microwaving them. I used to love BK's flame broiler as it imparted a great taste to the meat but it seems like all of the fast food places use that damned vat of water to store pre-cooked patties now...
