But no front door.  Customers have to come in from the back entrance.

Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

We can open up with a special free meal coupon, and ask customers to leave just the tip.

I crackin egg while it cooks, and add frozen peas to the bowl - they cool it down and cook at the same time. Such genius  :praise:

I just had ramen at a Japanese restaurant, I was less than whelmed. Seemed like they just dressed up a couple packages of Top Ramen, except the broth wasn't as good.

Pho >>> ramen

I have a friend that orders the one menu item with every fucking cow part in it. Tendon, tripe, crunchy connective tissue stomach, eyeball, penis, ichor... Looks nasty. I'll stick to my steak strips.

I like both, and I have had good ramen and good pho... but this is Pendleton, and there aren't like a whole lot of non-white people food restaurants here. :P

We have a strangely large number of Asian cuisine places.  Off the top of my head, I can think of six. No chains. They actually outnumber the "Italian" restaurants...and no, we don't have an Olive Garbage.

It looks like this will be unpopular opinion in this thread, but ramen over pho for me.  The reason are numerous; ramen is actually pronounced how its spelled, Naruto and Goku both love ramen, and ramen tends to be creamier and I think meatier (umami-er?) tasting than pho. 

Although I won't say no to either.

I want to open a pho restaurant named Pho King. 

A place within 10 minutes walk from my apartment:



The food sucks though, at least by my asian standards  :lol:

I usually get the "special" wherever I go.

Usually has steak + tendon + brisket + tripe

There's no need for pasted tense here; I'm still that kid.  Every morning starts with a kamehameha in the shower.

Panda Express?

No, we aren't big enough for that chain. This is just a local place. There is actually a reasonable sushi place here too.

I wouldn't eat much sushi that far inland. Maybe salmon.

Nah, you can get reasonable sushi anywhere now. It's frozen fish of course, but a lot if not most sushi fish even on the coast is frozen. You also never want to eat freshwater fish raw (salmon counts if you catch it in a river I think).

Yeah, people often forget that fish gets flash frozen out on the boat right away as it is.

Different types of bacteria live in each environment. Saltwater bacteria in fish aren't that bad, but not so with freshwater bacteria in fish. The other part of that is saltwater fish are, as we know, flash frozen most of the time, which kills bacteria, but not freshwater fish.
