Every time. Once it was a chicken burger, it had a skewer in it which, apparently, was to show off a spiral of undercooked bacon DRIPPING grease on top of the chicken patty. I could smell the bacon and it was as gross as it looked. I told the server I wasn't going to pay for it and left.

There's an explanation for this.
The dude in the strip mall basically does one thing: He makes Chinese food.. The yuppie chefs are, well, yuppie chefs. They went to culinary school and just assume that means whatever they cook will be better than someone who's cooked it twenty times a day for five years. They're actually that fucking stupid and narcissistic, and they're the reason the world sucks. It's all surface level for theml, it's all qualifications and no skills.

Holy shit, did you actually rename the fucking image to say "chinese food"? This is some next level fucking cope. Everybody here knows that's Cambodia.

What I remember about Chinese food as a young kid growing up in Hong Kong was not really that it was “bad” (which it often was, of course) but that the stuff my parents ordered for us was almost all frozen, and that I would generally throw out whatever that they brought home. This was in the days before a proper kitchen, and there was a tiny freezer unit that could only hold what was on the top shelf, and often that was some random combination of Chinese or Indian takeout. A couple of times a week we’d have what seemed like the best of everything, but the rest of the time it was pretty terrible: a frozen piece of some meat and whatever was frozen with it, a tub of rice, and maybe a can of green peas, and maybe a can of baby corn. There was a few times in my childhood when we were treated to something really good, like fresh fish that one of the waiters brought home in a plastic bag. So for my first couple of decades, I never actually ate a lot
