serve me the same food, please

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.
