[Rick Lee]

I have to chime in because Mrs. Lee works at PF Chang's corp. HQ in Scottsdale and gets a $1500 per year debit card for the chain and Pei Wei. We use it to take friends out or when we're too lazy to cook, which isn't often. I've been to all the stores in the Phoenix area. Some are better than others and we only get recognized as insiders at the one in Scottsdale. I don't think we get any special treatment or service. I've had excellent and poor meals there. Mrs. Lee grew up in China and we know where to get the real stuff (going to LA next week for the real stuff). So we're under no illusions that PF Chang's is real Chinese food. They have a few dishes that resemble it and once or twice I've been pretty impressed. But it's usually mediocre at best. Still, the restaurants are usually packed with a wait list on weekends, so they have to be doing something right. I want so badly to pull the managers aside sometimes and tell them how to fix some things, but can't do it because it could make things awkward for my wife at work. A few times they've screwed something up and then comped the dish or dessert or drinks. But we can't make a fuss.
