I'm more interested in the hamburgers, but whatever.

As a kid, things weren't real sophisticated. A lot of restaurants,
especially in the little towns, weren't Chinese, but Chinese-American.
That didn't have to do with the owners, or the people who worked there.
They had two menus (or one menu with two sections). One was Chinese,
and the other American. I went on a trip with a guy once. We ate at
one of these, and he said that he always went to these places. He
didn't like Chinese food, but he said that the American food was always
good and reasonably priced.
