Beef chow fun
Over the weekend, I saw an episode of Seinfeld where Elaine moves into a janitor’s closet so she could be within the delivery area of a favored Chinese restaurant.
I’m nowhere near the delivery zone of a Sam Woo, but if there’s one dish of theirs that sums up everything I like about Sam Woo it’s their beef chow fun with black bean sauce. Instead of the typical Asian spicing, the sauce has a dense smoky taste to it - reminding me more of a Caribbean or South American dish. I can’t get enough of it and it’s perfect for rainy weather (and the drive to get there).

Hi Chris! It’s so strange to me, how you’ve evolved into such a connoisseur of various cuisines around the world. Remember, I knew you when–the Dinty Moore days! Well, that was during the Cold War, so we were on rations.

And really I still am, I’ve just expanded my food vocabulary several dozen times over the years… My meals this weekend were a superb hamburger at The Castaway in Burbank and a Tuna Curry at the Banana Leaf (Indonesian place at the Fairfax Farmer’s Market)
