Fatty Tuesday: Fortune Cookie

So you all know that American Chinese food isn't really Chinese food, right? Well, two Cornell guys capitalized on this idea and opened up "Fortune Cookie," serving up good ole American Chinese food. Think: lettuce wraps and moo shu pork, take-out boxes and fortune cookies (of course).

We tried it last week and ordered General Tsao's beef, a plate of chow mein, and those lettuce wraps to start. Strangely comforting, it reminded us of home.

It'll be interesting to see if the concept -- bringing what one review called "bastardized Chinese food" to Shanghai -- works here. In the meantime, we'll likely go back and try the orange chicken.
