Oh man, glaring omission from these rankings are those chinese donuts.

literally the only desert worth drafting, in the 6th round like an exceptional punter prospect.

I prefer Thai food, but the real thing not the poor imitation we get in the United States

Nice part of living in Champaign/Urbana is that the Asian cuisine around here is stellar. Bangkok Thai in Urbana has the best pad thai I've ever had.

Ugh, I have totally dropped the ball here. My failure.

Clearly salt and pepper ribs are the Mason Rudolph of these rankings.

Rusty Trombagent · Tue Feb 20, 2018 6:53 pm

Either London is blessed with good ones or I'm getting mixed up with the all you can eat (for free) I get from the Chinese takeaway my parents part own.

Let's pretend it was the former, it could be true.

where's the beef?

if you're going to a Chinese Buffet that can't produce a nicely spiced Szechuan Beef as a buffet option, then you're going to the wrong place

It's the literal butthole of the NFL offseason. We are about 2-3 weeks away from Free Agency catching fire and the combine will be upon us soon.

This stupid post is only gaining traction because Chinese take out and buffet is goddamn delicious.

So what is everyone's go-to on Chinese takeout?

I tend to get fried dumplings, lo mein and hot & sour soup. My wife gets seseme chicken, an egg roll and fried rice and we usually end up sharing some portions.

Wed Feb 21, 2018 6:57 pm

I ain’t even mad. I love Chinese food.

The toity is the best bit of the chicken. I tend to go for mild rather than hoity though.

Incidentally, I did a work trip to China years ago, a bunch of random industrial cities. Man there was some weird shit there, I'd list it but I just ate it, no idea what it was called.

I still can't get into a groove with Chinese food. I love fried rice with either chicken, beef or shrimp, but all those carbs with the rice can't be good.

So then there's the meat thing in the container, 75% of which is vegetables and sauce. I like mongolian beef and a few of the chicken things.

If I want leftovers for the following day I'll get some sort of fried rice with meat thing and make two or three meals out of it. Otherwise its General Tsao's chicken or mongolian beef.

I do always get an egg roll. Always.

And no matter how much I ask them over the phone, they never put enough hot mustard packets in the bag.

Never liked egg rolls, never. Spring rolls I'll do in a heartbeat, but egg rolls? No.

Boris13c · Fri Feb 23, 2018 9:42 am

spring roll, steamed dumplings, szechuan beef (extra spicy) and fried rice

Best asian takeout/delivery in Chicago - Jess' Cafe

Green Curry Fried Rice
Beef Satay with Udon
Crab Rangoon
Egg Rolls

And now you know why I was fat as fuck when I lived in Chicago.

Spicy basil chicken, Pad Kee Mow, Mongolian Beef, General's chicken...are all my usual go-to meals. I'll get some lo mien or red chicken curry occasionally. I don't really do the rolls or rangoons or whatever, but will get after some egg drop soup once in a while.

Mikefive · Fri Feb 23, 2018 3:40 pm

Mrs. Five and I are on a car trip. I'm reading her the highlights of this thread as she takes her turn driving. She's laughing to the point of tears.

Hiphopopotamos · Fri Feb 23, 2018 4:02 pm

A high quality hot and sour soup owns all other soups.

General Tsao took my chinese food delivery virginity back in the late 80's. I will always have a soft spot for its sweet/spicy/crunchy deliciousness.

i'm going to be pedantic here, because i think we're dangerously veering into thai food teritory, which is a whole nother set of rankings.

Like, people are talking about hot and sour soup, which is garbage compared to a good bowl of tom yum. ORRRR if we want to lump all those asians together, a good Pho or any number of ramen dishes. I'd even take a good bowl of miso soup over hot and sour!

Rusty Trombagent · Fri Feb 23, 2018 4:08 pm

ultimately, there's general tso's and everything else. It's like when I get indian food... anytime I get anything other than chicken tikka masala, i just sit there regretting not ordering chicken tikka masala, which in my global rankings is top 5.

I love tikka. It’s also hard to beat a proper butter chicken.

Amen, bro.

Butter chicken is like Peyton Manning. You'd be a fool not to draft him first overall, unless Tom Brady's Tikka Masala is standing right there.

I've been seriously mulling over my global cuisine rankings for the last few days because of this thread.

If you get it prepared right, spicy Lamb Rogan Gosh will change your life!
