We keep Canada and Mexico from having a head-on collision.  Because no one needs jalapeños in their poutine.

Mexican food.
Chinese American food.

I love everything from the faded, indecipherable wall-mounted menu display to the expertly organized but engrishy paper menus, the beautiful paintings of storks amidst a flowing waterfall or pandas munching on bamboo in a majestic forest, the antiquated TV playing what I'm almost certain is Chinese state media, to the 8-year-old running the cash register.

To my dismay, I once learned that Kung Pao is an unpopular dish in China.  Pourquoi?!

Tex-Mex ... ahem.  Not true Mexican food.  New Mexico cuisine is also all-American.  Tacos and nachos are American.  As is Chop Suey.

Your shops are open late.

That's handy.

I just missed out, getting a pint of pork fried rice, last night, after teaching Hebrew.  1 hour too late ... so had to satisfy with a Big Mac.

I would never eat a D or an R ... not even sexually!

What is in a Big Mac is a mystery ;-)

Uncooked pork is bad for you.  Ancient people didn't know that, unless you were Jewish.  Jewish doctors were that good.  Kosher minus medical knowledge is just superstition.  Kind of like politics.

I'll agree you have more chance of finding cardboard than pig in your big mac, but you did mention pork fried rice :D

Did have it last night (got there early).  Delicious.  Of course, it was actually cooked FoxCon workers ... they gotta pay for messing up iPhones being sent to Belgium etc.
