Reply to The General Tso’s debate by TheMiddlePoli

God I miss the general tsos at Taiwan Cafe in Oakland. I was there every Friday night. Lining up in that cramped stairwell that looked like you were descending into a subway station. You'd finally get into that small basement restaurant and line up along the beer fridge wall. Then you'd finally order your delicious general tsos. "One jo chi (sp?) to go!" The cashier would yell to the kitchen, and then she'd turn to me and say "$6.37!" When you finally got it, it was just so damn good. Then later the quality started going downhill and one visit there was a cockroach climbing on the cashier counter that the cashier quickly killed and was acting VERY kind to us afterwards. No cockroaches directly in our food but we didn't go back for a few weeks and then they were closed forever. My heart still aches. I miss you, Taiwan Cafe.
