Yes. I recently looked at all of the online menus for Chinese places in
this area to find out if they served tomato beef and brown rice. Not many
did. But all had fried rice and all gave meat, shrimp and tofu options.
What they didn't say was whether or not you had the option of getting brown
"fried" rice. And while some did serve brown rice, I don't know if they
would have day old brown rice. Because that's what you need to make fried
rice.
