he doesn't tweet because he has something better- less than 140 characters of location information on the door of a van.

haha, how could a line like that ever appear on tv in the first place? Wonder if anyone got put on some serious probation for this one- "Um, hey, the boss wants to talk to you about that last line you wrote into our nut commerical"

oh, definitely the deep fried starfish on a stick from the "weird food street" in Beijing. There is no other food with that same crackling crunch, it's like biting into an oily-sweet honeycomb.

Where Would You Throw an Impromptu, Perhaps Illegal, Dinner Party?

The Jurassic period, underwater, or in the Safeway freezer behind the milk racks.

Reindeer sausage was one of the best things about my trip to Alaska. Talkeetna seemed to have to best suppliers.

I definitely thought they said nut sack the first time I heard the commercial!

I had the TV on in the background when this commercial came on, and it immediately gave me flashbacks of Alec Baldwin's "Schwetty" skits on SNL.

peanut sesame noodles, like they used to make 'em at the Chinese restaurant of my childhood. finding them again (the restaurant has closed) is my white whale . . .

An oldie, but still a goodie, 'Mongolian Beef'...and who said my choice had to be authentic.

Hm. House special lo mein. It isn't authentic, but it's pretty good. I do love some scallion chicken and steamed dumplings.

Any kind of crispy whole fish. If that's on the menu, and I can convince a few other people to share it with me, I'll get that every time.

Peking chicken. I guess that's my most favorite.

This is a tough choice. Good noodles and dumplings are hard to beat. The real Kung Pao Chicken I had in China was amazingly good.

Roasted duck, chicken, ribs, char siu, squid, etc. anything that's hanging in the window when you enter- it goes great with everything (rice, noodles, porridge) and by itself as well. Yum!

Center ice at the Shark Tank in San Jose...BYOC (bring your own coat). Preferably NOT during a game (ducking from those pucks would interfere with my wine drinking).
