We do have a Thai place that we love. Our previous Thai place was sold to new people that cranked up the price and changed the food/recipes so it wasn't as good. About ten years ago I had a Chinese place that I loved. Then I moved and they are now gone.
The worst thing about our new place is that the closest Asian place is about 45 miles away. I've never been to any of them. I'd have a hard time driving that far for a Chinese place, especially when there's a good chance that it would be crap.

Growing up I didn't think it was possible to make bad Chinese food, but I have since learned that it's very possible and not that uncommon.
