I had the most orgasmic dining experience at Shun Lee West yesterday. It was beyond any foodies dream. Just like in "When Harry Met Sally" after my meal i wanted to scream out "YES YES YES". We had the hacked chicken and the dumplings to start our meal and then moved on to the Grand Marnier Prawns and Dry Aged Shredded beef. The two main dishes were so good i think i could have passed out. Happy Fourth of July, Foodies unite. ;)

Anyone know this joke? Two old men are chatting in the park - one's Chinese and one's Jewish. Chinese old man: I come from an ancient, ancient culture. My civilization dates back more than 4,000 years. Jewish old man: I come from an even more ancient culture. MY civilization dates back more than 5,000 years. Chinese old man: That's impossible! What did your people eat for 1,000 years?

The best New Year's party I ever attended was at a Chicago restaurant -- Luigi's of Hong Kong -- where Chinese and Italian dishes alternated courses. I just wish we had our own Robbie Burns Chinese New Year Dinner here in NYC.

Nothing says "Thanksgiving" in my family like sticky rice. Mmmm.

Those Chinese-food loving jews should come to LA, where we have Genghis Cohen - kosher chinese. Mazeltov!

and of course, there's the traditional chinese food dinner followed by attending NYC's Matzoh Ball on Christmas Eve.

"You can't have Chinese food at a bar mitzvah unless you're really Reform." LOL, now that's funny.
