So, one of my favorite Chinese dishes, the dish that started me on the road of spicy food, is General Tso's Chicken. Now, I don't think I've had good General Tso's anywhere here in the Bay area, and no two restuarants seems to make it the same, but this article will tell you a bit about it.

A great lament it is that I can't find the chinese food of my youth here... apparently midwestern chinese food has little in common with the real thing... and they have the real thing here in spades. Oh, what I wouldn't give for those double fried egg rolls of my youth, instead of the wimpy fried "spring roll" version that seems to be all I can find here.
