I've been to all the restaurants in the video. No, I'm not related to that guy with the small noodle place. I can confirm, there has been a spate of places opening that feature real, good authentic Chinese, there's more variety in Toronto or Vancouver and it's not up there with HK, Taiwan or China, but getting there.

I didn't get a chance to watch the video when you first posted it, and almost forgot about this. I'm glad it wasn't what I thought it was going to be.

I’ve had a lot of meals in China and frankly liked them all. I’ve had some exotic stuff two like pigeon and snake, but for the most part, similar flavors to what you would expect but different presentations. A lot of there restaurants are in malls over there.

The weirdest thing I saw in a menu was below. I think they needed a better translation.😀 I did not order this and my host thought it was hysterical.

I do like Chinese American food too though.

The Impossible Whopper is really good. It's practically the same as a real Whopper, at least to me. I forget what the price differential is, but it's not that much more. Have also had the White Castle Impossible Slider and that was good too.

I've tried artificial meat hoping to really like it.   I really, really didn't like it.   Take one for the team and please report back.

If you want to have your plant-based vegan burger your way at Burger King, you'll have to ask.

Don't know if she's aware or even cares, but FYI.

Yeah she knew that going in. I think she also said she had to ask for no mayo(?), but maybe that wasn't necessary.

I'll have to try it.   My wife who is vegan, would never eat one that shared the grill with real meat.  I'm not her.    Then again, I'm a carnivore.

@nevets88 went to White Castle once. They made a movie based off the story starring John Cho.

If you get an Impossible Burger in Manhattan, at a restaurant, like Bareburger, it’s like a 15-20 for the dish. 7 is what I paid at BK and much more reasonable.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      By Maroon88 ·

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
