No sesame chicken????

One of our two regular dining establishments in Vermont was Men at Wok. It was only 1/2 mile from home, so whenever we were too tired to cook or figure out what to do for dinner, we would get carry-out. The food was good, and the prices were cheap. We probably averaged 1.5 trips a week, so they came to know us over the years. We usually ordered the same thing: Isaac would have Sesame Chicken combination dinner with pork-fried rice and an egg roll, and I would have the General Tsao's Tofu combo with white rice and a spring roll. We always put the order under the name "Isaac", and it got the the point where after placing the order over the phone, the person would ask, "Isaac?" before we got the chance to say our name.

So Isaac called me the other day and told me a funny story. He called Men at Wok and placed an order for Beef with Broccoli under his name of Isaac. The woman on the phone responded, "Isaac? No Sesame Chicken? No general Tsao Tofu? She not live there anymore?"

Damn, I miss that place. I've been been afraid to look for a new Chinese restaurant in Fort Collins. I think Men at Wok will be really difficult to replace.
