    King Wok, I’m mad at you. But I’ll get over it because watching the old clips of Corey as Santa makes me happy.

    The Corey Claus and Seany Elf episode is a Christmas classic. I already watched it this morning. Man Fook Low's, a Chinese restaurant in L.A.'s Warehouse district had the world's greatest egg rolls.

    In the late 60s we always went to Moon Temple Chinese restaurant on Saint Charles Road in Berkeley Illinois for their Christmas Day buffet (still open 50+ years later)... mom hated to cook
    Christmas bonus.... my favorite lines from Cheech and Chong's Santa Claus And His Old Lady
    TC: Yeah, man! I played with that cat last year, man!
    CM: Wha?
    TC: Yeah, we played in front of a store, man! We made a lot of bread, man!
    CM: Aw, hey, wait a minute, man! Santa Claus is not a musician, man!
    TC: I'm hip, man! That cat didn't know any tunes, man!

    I one thousand percent agree with Corey about Chinese food in Chicago. Chinatown and Argyle, excluded. Obviously.

    • @CoreyWagnerChicago
      @CoreyWagnerChicago Месяц назад +1

      very true! I forgot to excluse argyle but yeah that's an obvious strip of greatness! But lakeview, lincoln park, neighbhoods like that... good luck. 95% of them suck

      yes! we used to do that and it just makes the commentary/rating confusing. We've found it makes more sense to order and talk about one thing to keep the conversation on course.

    Have you been to Chef’s Special Cocktail Bar in Bucktown? My wife and I feel the same way about Chinese food in the city as Corey does. We live in UKV and will only get Lao Peng You and Little Wok but have heard Chef’s Special is killer.

    • @CoreyAndSeanEatLocal

    One of the good things about living near a couple of college towns is a good number of good quality Americanized Chinese restaurants! I always go with the General Tsos chicken, with whatever form of garlic chicken the place has on the menu as a very close second. 🥡
