I've heard of P.F. Chang's before, mentioned in other threads and other
groups, but I looked up the menu for the first time after your post. Kinda
pricey, IMO. I paid $5.40 for my lunch today at my local Chinese place and
that was for 2 egg rolls and an order of mu shu pork with white rice
included. I couldn't eat it all.

I looked up the nearest P.F. Chang's location to me at it's 47.5 miles away,
so I don't expect we'll be visiting it any time soon. :~)
