Not to mention that chickens as pets is quite fashionable these days in Decatur….

I’d have to think this date was no doubt informed by the much longer than expected time it took to open up Guy’s second joint, Yum Bunz. I appreciate the realistic estimate.

Putting it on a one way street would yield free advertising. There would be a sign saying Wong Way.

On an intellectual level, I agree with you. In reality, good luck with chicken feet. (Remember, we’re talking about a community that couldn’t make peace with faux blue Greek tile.)

Any place that’s going to offer the dim sum cannot just do the tame selections. If you’re not going to put chicken feet on the menu, don’t bother. Decatur folk are not cowardly eaters who pass on stuff that other countries know to be awesome but most Americans get rudely squeamish over.

There’s so many Asian and Latin places around here that don’t serve the best stuff, forcing people looking for more diverse selections to make the drive up the Buford Highway. The many cuisines of China are some of the most exciting and sophisticated on earth–and the food served at almost every place calling its cuisine “Chinese” outside of ethnic enclaves like Buford Highway is almost totally American. It’d be great for a Decatur restaurant to break that mold.
