You mean "87% of all statistics are made up on the spot"?



:-P

Nice one...

I was always a fan of "smoking is the leading cause of statistics".

This Plum Blossom place ... aside from being good and cheap, do you trust what you are eating?? just curious as the RPI union week-end is fast approaching and if it's as good as you say we'll likely check it out. i guess after some of the horror stories i've heard about the chinese places in college town and about cheap chinese places in general i'm a little cautious about eating it from cheap unknown restaurants. yes, maybe i'm a little anal. ::rolleyes::

Melissa, for a second there I thought you were talking about the Japanese place on Dryden, which isn't particularly good (it's about as good as Kayuga, for what that's worth) and is certainly not cheap (although it's marginally cheaper than Kayuga).  Suffice it to say that I was *very* confused. . . :-)

Actually the driver rate is higher than every state in the country. San Juan has the highest car per person rate in the world. Public transportation sucks..

Yes.  They should probably have said "inexpensive" rather than "cheap."  I've had meals there that rivalled the best San Francisco or Boston can offer, for about 1/4 the price.

What the hell were they thinking with that location, though?  Not just Troy, but a few miles *outside* of Troy.

Inscrutable...

mmm...PlumTree, that's some good food. and it IS better than Kayuga!

I think PJ's Pancake house in Princeton is worth mentioning as a pre/post game meal ....especially if you like chocolate chip pancakes with whip cream.

I must confess being clueless about the Chariot's corn nuggets...can anyone describe what these are?  I was a regular at the Chariot, but I loved the sweet dough pizza they made....is that still unchanged?

[Jimmy Devellano]

Food is excellent.

edit - never mind, it's too early in the morning to read and comprehend.  This post has been deleted for the general protection of, well, everyone.

I trust it as much as I trust any other restaurant.  Chinese food is hardly alone in its use of obscure and potentially troubling ingredients.

Take a handful of corn niblets, mix 'em together with a little water and cornstarch, and you'll have something similar to "creamed corn."  Now make a little ball of about 7 or 8 niblets, dip the ball in batter, and deep fry it.

That's a corn nugget.

The pizza's still very good, but the white russians and Irish wakes are a little inconsistent from visit to visit.

Am I the only person who finds corn nuggets, in Beeeej's beautiful phrase, "obscure and potentially troubling"?

No, I'm with you on that one Greg.  Not only are they obscure, but I don't even think they taste all that good, plus I always wind up burning myself on them.  :-(

[mha]

Mmm, "obscure and potentially troubling." My favorite!

Josh, perhaps you should stick to foods you don't actually injure yourself on. :-) Leave the corn nuggets to the rest of us.

(90 minutes to corn nuggets!)
