This is just a quick lit­tle rant. It really bugs me that some restau­rants — say Chi­nese, Korean or Indian — serve dif­fer­ent food depend­ing on your eth­nic­ity. There have been more times than I can remem­ber when I’ve gone to a restau­rant with Chi­nese or Indian friends and had a great meal; only to return another time on my own, order the same dishes, and have a com­pletely dif­fer­ent (read: worse) culi­nary expe­ri­ence. I can under­stand lan­guage issues/barriers, but, to me, there’s no rea­son why I should get lesser-quality, or “Amer­i­can­ized,” dishes. With that said, I won­der if these same friends have had sim­i­lar expe­ri­ences at restau­rants. I’ve never asked, but I think that I will.
