Funny thing about where I live: no Domino's, no Pizza Hut. The only delivery places are local. I ain't bitchin'. If only Chili's delivered, though - it's too far to drive 2 minutes.

YOU A CARRY OUT A
CHINESE FOOD

New Albany, IN. I drove past it this morning.

Where is New Albany?

Across the river from Louisville.

I wanted to a carry out a chinese food but they weren't open at 9:30 am.

.

Top 3 delivery complaints ever:

3. place that sends delivery guy out without change on a total of like $31, so that he stands there shrugging and non-English-speaking and eventually you have to just give him $40

2. place that does the same thing AGAIN, so that this time you give him $30 and $1.50 in quarters, because that's all the change you have and you're not giving him $40 again just because they keep doing this, and now you have to feel bad for stiffing the guy but what were you supposed to do, and then to top it all off when you open the bag they forgot your drink

1. place that does the same thing A THIRD TIME, even after you called them last time and complained about it

(but the food in question is SO GOOD that they could send you the wrong Cokeless order and even forget to put the food in the container and you'd still happily overtip just to lick the sauce from the bottom)

Which place is this?

time from order to delivery - approximately 7 minutes. LOL.

delivery places should introduce a "track your food" option

"brown rice" = 1/3 brown rice layered on top of 2/3 jasmine rice (tie food)

sometimes i wish there was seamlessweb in bk.

wonder why phil quit postin'

the food showed up.

i wish i lived somewhere i could order chinese at 3 AM

i.e. NOW

where my sesame chicken at

a minute after i typed that, the food showed up.

Yo, why do Chinese takeout joints NEVER have scallion pancakes????

scallion pancakes are bomb.

I mean on the one hand it makes them that much more special when I find them, but half the time when I do I'm not even in the mood for them. And they are SO RARE!!

Hatin at u, half-dozen or so Chinese restaurants on Girard btwn 26th and 30th in Philly

they are very good and not hard to make, it's true, but they do tend to be very oily

yeah, similarly hatin at monterey park

scallion pancake is far more common at taiwanese restaurants, not all chinese cuisines are the same...

I see your point shasta but scallion pancakes are pretty ubiquitous in China and not are not really identified as originating from any particular region, I would especially not claim that they are associated with Taiwan cuisine moreso than any other Chinese regional cuisine

;)

IME, they are on every menu at Taiwanese restaurants in the USA/Japan/Singapore/Malaysia. Whereas you are far less likely to find them on the menus of other Chinese cuisines... totally IME.

str8 lollin @ the chinese wiki for scallion pancake the majority of which is dedicated to:

"Relationship with pizza

An interesting argument that the Italian -style pie , that pizza , most likely evolved by the Green onion pancake. Said that Marco Polo lived in China, the most favorite North Green onion pancake, after returning home unable to get, but I do not know how to cook. Later, finally found one willing to try the Naples chefs , but the production is not a simple Green onion pancake, had proposed filling on the dough, the baked food, the plan has been praised everyone. The chef will then return to Naples in Naples, accompanied by bread cheese and other ingredients, and create a unique pizza taste. [1]
However, studies now show in Europe, whether pie or a pizza , not Marco Polo brought back from China, but far away in the Marco Polo was born there before the food in the Mediterranean region [2] [3] [4] [ 5] , so Pisa should Greece or Mesopotamia region invention [6] : The first is covered in pizza, thousands of years ago in Europe, the Mediterranean and the Middle East already well-known cheese, at that time not yet Chinese people know. In addition, pizza "pizza" the etymology of the word can also be traced back to Marco Polo was born 250 years before 997 AD, found in southern Italy in a Gaeta Latin literature [7] . All the evidence suggests that "from China" argument is a myth."

Chinese folx always be claiming...

that's taken from the English version of scallion pancake i think

anyway IME you can get scallion pancakes at pretty much every restaurant in China... where it counts ;-)

also c/p from taiwanese cuisine wiki:

Scallion pancakes - (蔥油餅) flour pancake with many thin layers, made with scallions (chopped green onions). A snack originating in the Chinese mainland

Can't eat scallion pancakes anymore (deep-fried or super greasy stuff now forbidden by my GI Dr). So heartbreaking.

surely there is a dcoq post along the same lines?

Well we have to discuss the two types of scallion pancakes. There's the brown and crispy deep-fried variety, which are nice, but then there's the chewy doughy pan-fried variety that is SUPER DUPER A+. My local takeout place (Mr. Rice, wtf) has the pan fried ones and they call them "Chinese pizza". And yeah, I've made them before--v simple!! But I can't get the hang of the amazing dipping sauce.

Will they sell you just the sauce?

Well I mean it must be easy to make; I just don't know what it's called. It's that slightly sweet sauce that comes with pork DUMPLINGS!
