Ha, take THIS, you Egg-rollers!:

Guys, you don't have to convince me of nuthin', I am not a "Foodie". I was talking in general terms with "we", as in "we today". And there are people here, like Bongo Bungalow as a restaurateur, that have to heed the public's changing food palates.

But Jim's and now Lucas' enthusiasm reminds me of the fact that there must be still a whole generation or two out there that have fond memories of such food. And since Chinese restaurants were even more ubiquitous than Tiki temples throughout the U.S., maybe it is time to bring back an expressively mid-century Chinese restaurant concept, marketing itself on being "old style" - maybe sans the unhealthy part, or maybe even proudly touting it!

Oh, and John-O....
