This is typical of what my food looks like when I get home from any
Chinese takeout places in Austin.`

I have begged every establishment South of the River to just give me
the entree only, in the traditional square orgamized 24-oz tubs that
are customary in every other major city in America. And a fork.

It's not easy. It's impossible.

I managed to talk this particular Chinese merchant out of the extra
egg roll, choice of sterile soup, fried wontons, and the customary
bag of disgusting red, yellow and hydrolyzed brown hair sauces in
exchange for ordering 2 entrees that I could reasonably carry home
the 2 miles. I only accepted the rice because I figured that would
even out the tray and provide equal gravity.

But it totally ****es me off, no matter how much I beg, plead and
schmooze - I get these god-damned mofo Styrofoam(tm) trays in
un-pleated vertical bags that only hold food upright as soon as you
pick them up.

And then to top it off, they put the rice in the traditional and
preferred containers that I asked for, while packing the entrees in
the opposite sides of those GDMFSC's, throwing the whole bag
off-center as soon as you put pick it up.

Not to mention the boxes of rice on top wobbling around on top
making sure everything they're all equally trashed.

Cutting to the chase: This is my Sichuan Beef and Broccoli Beef
(extra Oyster Sauce) from Congress and Oltorf tonight, after having
walked 2 miles, and having to steal 3 extra bags from HEB (to hold
the sauce)

Needless to say, one (two?) of those if not what I ordered. They
went straight into ziplocks as soon as I got home.

Other than Din Ho (which has some great take-out containers last I
was there), who packages to go?
