You must be one of those bottom feeders that alfred1 is trying to warn us about. ;)

TerryBPP 06-01-2005 04:50 AM

I'm sure this won't offend anyone.;)

vash 06-01-2005 07:03 AM

ok, quiz time (no internet cheating please) where did the term honkie come from? :D

and there is a dim sum place in oakland, that will make chows cry.

problem w/ dim sum for me is the same as the problem w/ pho.... I could be stuffed but an hour and half after I'm hungry again :(

Ocean Seafood in Chinatown.

not a pho fan. love bun though.

Drago 06-01-2005 09:46 AM

Sorry, I cheated:

"Possibly comes from the term "Honky Tonk", which is a type of country music. Another interesting theory suggests it originated as "Hunky" (and "Bohunk") to refer to Slavic and Hungarian immigrants and eventually transformed into "Honkey" to refer to all White people. Might also come from the African Wolof word "Honq" meaning red or pink and used to describe white men. Yet another theory has it originating from white men honking their horns to call on the lounge singer/prostitute types in 1920's Harlem."

So, Vash, which one is it?

vash 06-01-2005 10:57 AM

drago, i was told that it was the last reason, sorta. actually, back in the days of segregation, white folks would drive to pick up the domestic help. they would honk the horns, and that is how it was started. i heard this story yelled at me, when i drove to pick up my friend, carl. i "beeped" and his mom came out yelling. scared the crap out of me, but she laughed after i apologized. and fed me some great potato salad, that she later showed me how to make.

911pcars 06-02-2005 03:28 PM

I think this is the second thread you've used the term. You seem to use it as nonchalantly as the other racial slurs you recite. I don't really care who you like or dislike or your reason for using them, but would appreciate their use in the privacy of your own chow line, not on a public forum. If you want to make yourself useful, just give us a list of recommended eateries in LV, but leave your ignorance. prejudices and attention-deficit disorders at home.

It's also healtheir if you do so. You should hope the waiters and chefs at "Chows....it is at 5485 W Sahara...at the corner of Sahara and Lindell" won't prepare a "special" dish for your consumption. My Mom once told me, "don't anger the people who work in restaurants. They prepare what you eat." My sister-in-law used to work at a famous bakery when she was a teener. She once told me of the special cakes, pastries and pies they prepared for their "special customers".

Post your latest pic and I'll send it along to the good folks at Chows...at the corner of Sahara and Lindell.

Bon appetit,
Sherwood

RANDY P 06-02-2005 04:40 PM

I'm a sucker for plain old pork and shrimp Shu Mai, and shrimp and chive ball.

I'll go in and knock down $20 on that stuff, with the sweet chili (not the runny red Siracha stuff) all day long.

In Seattle, Hong Kong Seafood restaurant / Rainier - if you can get past the locale it's killer.

rjp

vash 06-02-2005 08:28 PM

randy! you are wise. apparently when a chef applies for a job at the dimsum houses. shu mai is always the test to see if he/she is fit for duty. i heard making those good, is not easy. the other test is just a plain ole. pork bun, chaishue bow. ironic, but i find most dimsum too rich. i still shovel it in tho.

sherwood, i worked in the business, but i have never "sauced" anything. haha. nobody pissed me off so much that my sarcasm couldnt make me feel better. you crack me up.

M.D. Holloway 06-02-2005 08:39 PM

Don't know about Dago but I think Wop was short for without passport and the original redneck was directed at the Irish - hense the signs popular years and years ago "Rednecks Need Not Apply".

How about "nice snatch?" instead of titties?

Sherwood is such a priss......don't U have an opinion of your own that isn't dictated by PC?

911pcars 06-02-2005 11:59 PM

Tabs,
I thought I gave you my opinion. Don't use the derogatory term.

Is the term, "*********" too strong? Nothing personal. Maybe there's a PC term for that too. If so, maybe Zman will allow it's use on the forum.

Sherwood

tabs 06-03-2005 12:38 AM

Oh Dear me Sherwood....When I describe you as being prissy Sherwood it is used as an adjective....when you use the term ********* to describe me...you use it as a noun....if U don't know those are 2 wholly different contexts...in other words as much as you vocally disdain prejudice, you are in fact prejudiced....

For the PC in you...

}{arlequin 06-03-2005 07:12 AM

this thread has degraded from a so-so food recommendation into total lameness

dhoward 06-03-2005 07:21 AM

And that surprises you in what way?
:)

}{arlequin 06-03-2005 07:27 AM

heh heh.... yeah, that's what I want to do..... go all the way to Vegas and then have..... wait for it....... DIM SUM! Yeah, that's it! Forget all the semi-famous chefs creating their cuisine, or even the all American staple of good beef.... no, when I'm there I want DIM SUM.


what's more important, when I got a large Chinatown area (SanFran or NY) that's when I want a great steakhouse recommendation. I *always* crave a burger in such places :rolleyes:

tabs 06-03-2005 01:40 PM

Just to keep you HAPPY Harlie.....In and Out Burgers has a coupla franchise outlets here.....

Do you realize that the Red Lobster is recognized as one of the best seafood restruants in LV, thats according to LV's very own newspaper.....

jriera 06-14-2005 04:04 PM

Tabs, try Chang's .. 4670 S Decatur (between Tropicana and Harmon).

Want to go some day?

Dave,

My boss likes Pizza and steak. We were in New Orleans recently and just were in hog heaven. We wanted to take a bath in the cajun gumbo and took a gallon of the stuff home with us. My mouth starts watering right now thinking of how good it tasted!

Got back on the plane heading home and asked him what he did? He went out in NO and had pizza... Some people have no idea what they are missing!

that is exactly what I'm talking about.... what causes that? I mean, you can have pizza *anywhere*; are you really going to crave it in a city known for all the other culinary offerings?

I'm sure we all know places where they specialize in great pizzas, with unusual ingredients, tons of choices, etc.... that's probably not the time to crave French/Cajun cuisine... :rolleyes:

this one was pretty memorable

Here is the BESTEST Pizza yet....I regret leaving So Cal just for this one restruant....

Their stuffed pizza is to die for....although I do know how they make it...hehehehehe

pho: vietnamese broth w/ noodles/pork/beef whatever (good stuff)

vash 06-15-2005 07:23 AM

pho is vietnamese noodle soup. should be cheap as hell too, and the typical bowl is large enough to wash your face in. :D


edit: too slow. dave has it. the "whatever" statement is dead on. some random cow stuff/parts. but you can order anyway you want.

M.D. Holloway 06-15-2005 08:27 AM

On a separate note, I had the understanding that Asians were not big fans of diary products, mostly cheese. Is that true?

Westy 06-15-2005 08:43 AM

Pizza? Did someone say Pizza? I could eat it seven days a week. I went to Cabo and had Pizza. I went to Hawaii and had pizza. I went to Florida and had pizza. There's a wonderful Sicilian restaurant in Cameron park,,,guess what I had. I go to Raleys and get Pizza. Come on now, don't attack us that have addiction problems. Hi, my name is Brian and I'm a ,,,,,,,,

What was this thread about, anyway? Oh yeah, the racist windbag. I almost forgot. Long live pizza
