PF Chang's- could it actually be any good?
- Jim Leff Jun 30, 2007 09:17 AM
[note...the moderators split this discussion off from another thread, where a chowhound and his Taiwanese wife expressed fondness for PF Chang's]
Hey, I will totally cop to the fact that PF Changs (which I've never tried) might actually be great, and that I'm being a snob in knocking it before I've tried it. OTOH, I haven't tried every single menu item at Olive Garden, either. Generalization is one of the unavoidable hallmarks of chowhounding...can't get too bogged down in too many fine details...
Actually, Jim, your initial thought is correct: PF Changs is absolutely ghastly, and should be avoided at all costs. You'd be better off finding a Panda Express, it's that bad.
And this coming from someone not philosophically opposed to chain food.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
Simply not true.... I challenge you to actually eat Panda Express side by side with PF Chang's, which actually possesses some refinement over the general swath of Chinamerican food.
Jim, try the chicken lettuce wraps, which are totally inauthentic but very tasty!

re: Mr Taster
I will admit the PF Chang is better that most buffet palaces, but not more than that. In order for them to justify charging the prices they charge, they need to have more subtle flavoring and control over the cooking techniques. That is just not there, they inevitably slightly overcook everything because they don't understand the subtle differences in flavor, degree of tenderness and texture so essential in fine Chinese cuisine. It is the Applebees of Chinese food, good enough to fool the masses but not as bad a McDonalds.
re: Phaedrus
It doesn't fool me... I've spent 2 months with my wife eating our way through China last year and several more in Taiwan and regularly eat many different styles of authentic Chinese food here in Los Angeles (hand pulled noodles, Shanghainese xiao long bao dumplings, Szechuan hot pot, Yunnan crossing the bridge noodles, Taiwanese stinky tofu, etc.) and still like several dishes at PF Chang's. Of course compared to the super cheap and highly delicious fare to be had in LA's san gabriel valley, PF Changs loses about 99% of the time (even though there's a branch about 3 minutes from my house, and the SGV is about a 30 minute drive) but my point here is simply that I feel many people summarily dismiss PF Chang's because it's inauthentic. The difference is that it is inauthentic and tasty, whereas joints like Panda express, Yang Chow here in LA and others are inauthentic and bad.

re: Mr Taster
You miss my point. It just doesn't capture the subtleties of authentic Chinese, there fore I avoid it. If I wanted to feed at a trough I will go to a crappy place and not pay a premium.
re: Phaedrus
It seems as if you missed my point as well!
The things I find most awful about virtually every Americanized Chinese dish is that the sauces are overly heavy and dripping in thick sweetness. The cooks at PFC have a much lighter hand with the corn syrup (or whatever it is most places use to glop up the sauce) and as a result the food is infinitely more tasty.
It is inauthentic but it is very unfair to lump them in with Panda, Pick up Stix and the like who are happy to dish up bowls of chicken breading floating in orange goo.

re: Mr Taster
I could not possibly care less about "authentic" versus "inauthentic." My interest is solely "tasty" versus "not tasty."
Based on my experience, PF Chang's is firmly on the Not Tasty side.
re: Mr Taster
I think PF Changs does it's job of appealing to the masses. I would lump it in with Olive Garden.
re: Texchef
I feel that this is an unfair lump.
While I rarely eat at chains myself, it is wholly irrational to lump all chains of any given category together, simply because it is fashionable to do so. People like to lump in Olive Garden with Buca di Beppo, for example. Now Buca is hardly haute Italian cuisine but the food is leagues above the bland stuff that OG serves up. (Granted, I haven't been to Olive garden since I was in college 13 years ago, so I have no recent experience by which to go by).

re: Mr Taster
Buca di Beppo is nasty. All their dishes taste like they combined Prego with refrigerated diced garlic. At least Olive Garden has an all-you-can-eat salad/breadstick bar.
re: Mr Taster
Your PF Chang cook was not my PF Chang cook. Some of my foodie friends like some of the dishes at PFC, but EVERY dish my family ordered one night was totally inedible: one was way too salty, one was way undercooked, one was way overcooked, one was swimming in grease, and none had quality ingredients. I'm Chinese and don't mind "inauthentic" Chinese food (even my mom can't cook dishes exactly like my grandma did - things evolve!) However, paying a lot of $$$ for food that even my Caucasian husband thought was horrible was insult upon injury.
re: Mr Taster
Mr. Taster, I am right there with you. I do like pf changs (for what it is). I abhor olive garden, like you, I have not been there since college, also about 12-13 years ago. I figure if I didn't like it then, I certaintly wouldn't like it now! I think many people lump chains in together and don't give them a chance. I had an argument one day with someone that tried telling me that Olive Garden was as good if not better than restaurants in Italy. I was aghast, to this day I think he was just trying to pick a fight!
re: Mr Taster
For what I would pay at PFC, i could get a tasty and authentic chinese meal without going to a Panda of a buffet palace, so why bother? PFC is for people who won't go the extra mile to find good Chinese food and who are impressed by the decor.
re: Phaedrus
Certainly PF Chang's is the kind of place that appeals to a solidly yuppie upper middle class demographic who love all the trappings of a place that feels and tastes Chinesey enough to make them feel like they're doing something exotic.
I haven't eaten at PF Chang's in about a year, but still I think the chicken lettuce wraps and one other dish (mongolian beef, I think) are expensive but really quite tasty. And this is coming from someone who less than a year ago was squatting on a tiny stool outside a villager's home eating barbecued yak near the border of tibet.
(given the choice, I would much rather eat the yak over PF Chang's mongolian beef)

"PFC is for people who won't go the extra mile to find good Chinese food and who are impressed by the decor"
Maybe it's only here in the tri-state area that this is the case. But, P.F. Changs is only located at malls. No one I know goes there as a foodie destination. It's where chicks (myself included :-) ) grab lunch or dinner after a day of shopping.
re: Mr Taster
What really bothers me is that the sauces are made in a central kitchen somewhere, with tons of preservatives so they can be shipped across the country without refridgeration. Plus the food is cooked in huge batches and that makes it hard for a cook to focus on the quality of a single dish. You can taste the ridiculous amounts of sodium in the food and the food doesn't have a fresh taste to it. These are standard problems with chain restaurants.
Is it better than some of the crappy mom & pop run places? Sure, but I wouldn't go to any of those places either. If you're getting deep fried globs of goo, you're clearly not going to a very good Chinese restaurant.
But there are good Chinese restaurants that make everything onsite from fresh ingredients and they cook in small batches. I have found a few of these restaurants here in the bay area and would never choose a PF Changs over any of them.
That said, I've suffered through some pretty bad meals weeding out the bad restaurants. That's the appeal of PF Changs, you always know what you're in for.
re: Fussy Foodie
My boyfriend works as a manager for a PF Changs and I know for a FACT that the sauces are made in each restaurant!
re: sweetnspicy
They must go through a LOT of cornstarch...
re: sweetnspicy
That's remarkable if it's true. Too make everything in-house and still have it taste the same at all the locations nationwide would take a great quality management system. It still doesn't taste fresh to me and has way WAY too much sodium, but I admit that the freshness thing could be psychological.

Patently untrue. See my comments above.

re: Mr Taster
I didn't mean to say it was authentic or not. Good food is good food and bad food is bad food. I just thought that PF Changs was bad though I've never had the chicken wraps. I'll try it if I am ever forced to go there again though. =)
re: mstinawu
I agree - I think all their food is way too salty and charge you too much. I think people are being sucked in because they have a nice decor and looks so 'chic'.
If I am going along for the ride with someone who really wants PF Chang's I can definitley find edible food, but for price and authenticity I definitely have local favorites. I don't mind the PF Chang's fast food off-shoot, Pei Wei. Cheaper, similar food and quick.
I have only eaten at PF Chang's twice. I eat at Panda Express more than I eat at PF Chang's, but I have stopped that habit recently. I do know a lot of people who like PF's, though. My sister and her friend used to really love the lettuce wraps.
While I've only eaten at PF Chang's maybe two or three times, I'm not going to call it outright "bad." I think a major issue with people is that they might be searching for authentic food, visit PF Chang's, and then size it up against their expectations of authenticity, and their local, possibly more authentic restaurants. This really isn't fair, as I don't think it's claiming to be tremendously authentic, and by virtue of the fact that they're a national chain, undoubtedly deliberately americanize the food, which makes a completely different "species" of food altogether. Taken for what it is, it's certainly not terrible.
Although I almost never go to PF Chang's, I do visit Pei Wei, their semi-self serve, faster/more casual, and significantly cheaper brand (entree are ordered at the counter, delivered to table by number, all cost around $6-$7). For me, the food is quite tasty, fresh, and reasonably priced, making it considerably better than much of the americanized chinese out there (assuming you don't mind these breed of food--don't go expecting high authenticity by any means). However, were it to cost the Chang's price of $15 +/- instead, it would certainly not be worth it.
PF Chang's epitomizes Americanized-Chinese food.
If you like such fare, then you'll like PF Chang's.
As to PF Chang's v. Panda Express ... it's not really a fair comparison. The former is more upscale and provides more nuance to their dishes; while the latter caters to the most, basic common denominator -- e.g., fast food with a Chinese twist.
re: ipsedixit
Yes but for me, I really don't like Americanized Chinese food very much, nor does my wife. There are countless incarnations of chewy, overbreaded, gloopy and deep fried schlock that your mouth gets tired of after 3 or 4 bites (think slippery shrimp at yang chow, for example). We really can't eat the stuff.
But compared to most Chinamerican restaurants, PF Chang's goes light on the heavy, deep fried and gloopy sweet, which is precisely *not* what epitomizes Americanized Chinese food.

re: Mr Taster
Again, you can go to a local family owned Chinese place for much better food at a lower price. AND you don't have to put up with gloopy, fried slop or pseudo Chinese food made by some schmuck from Guadalajara pulling a slim paycheck from some company in Chicago.
Ever try going into a typical Americanized Chinese place and asking to order off the menu? I walked into a Chinese place in Mena, Arkansas, spoke Chinese to the owner, and bingo, I had a delectable seafood noodle soup and ma po tofu in 15 minutes. The owner even thanked me because he doesn't get too many Chinese people there and rarely gets to cook what is good.
I am not a chain hater, but PFC hits close to home. I am sure Italians feel the same about Olive Garden or Fazzolis.
re: Phaedrus
Of course, you can also go to local, family owned Chinese restaurants and have a middling meal featuring deep fried glop. That's usually my experience with random Chinese restaurants all over the States.
Further, one does not _always_ have the time to find a local, family owned place that flies their ingredients in from their homeland on a weekly or daily basis and creates perfectly authentic food at all times. One might get lucky. One, like you, might be Chinese and be able to navigate that culture better than others who are not. As you note yourself about your experience in Mena, had you not been Chinese and able to converse easily with the owner, you'd likely have gotten the things they normally make which aren't "good."
Because of this thread, I've checked out the P.F. Chang's website and menu/nutritional information. It looks as though its possible to construct a fairly healthy meal, which is a big step up from many many restaurants (chains or not).
I get that you don't like it; but others do and I don't see why there needs to be such a problem with that.
re: Phaedrus
Hey, you're preaching to the choir regarding seeking out authentic Chinese food! As I've tried to say (many times!) I don't go to PF Chang's for Chinese food. I go there for Chinesey food. There is a distinct difference!
The main distinction I'm trying to make (again!) is that PFC's food does not contain the heavy sauces and overly sweet glop that plagues virtually every Americanized Chinese joint in the country. In that regard it is much better than almost every other place, and the food is surprisingly tasty because of it.
By the way, my wife was not offended by PF Chang's decor any more that she was offended by the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. It's just a diversion-- not a statement about Chinese culture

re: Mr Taster
I know what you mean. Occasionally, I seek the likes of PF Chang's so I can stay awake afterwards. I find that "authentic" Chinese restaurants often pour on the oil and MSG (something my Chinese mom does NOT do), which leaves me thirsty and sleepy for the rest of the day.
re: Mr Taster
And you can't get an apple martini at a Chinese joint.
re: ipsedixit
I think you make a good point about PF Chang's v. Panda Express, in terms of price and ambiance, ipsedixit. PF Chang's is a sit-down restaurant, and Panda is a fast-food place. I'm sure one of the reason's that I have eaten at Panda Express more often is because it's cheaper and more convenient for me. That said, lately, I have been choosing the Chinese fast food places that aren't Panda Express, since my last bad experience with their chow mein.
re: katkoupai
ive been to pf changs-twice-and i liked it. its somewhat more upscale than the average chinese restaurant,both in terms of decor,presentation and food quality. i dont think it can be favorably compared to panda express-as that is chinese fast food, it would be an apples to oranges comparison. in the ny-nj metro area, i dont know which chinese place it would compare to.
re: mrbeachy
I've been to P.F. Chang's twice and liked it. Generally speaking I'm easy to please and difficult to impress, and while PFC definitely is the former it's still better than most places I've been to. There are a few places in the St. Louis area serving much better Chinese food, but they're far away from where I live or work. I've also been to "authentic" Chinese food restaurants that weren't as good as PFC.
I have no intrinsic problem with places that serve "Americanized" ethnic foods; to me the bottom line is "does it taste good?". I'll eat at Chili's or similar psuedo mexican places and do just fine.
To me -- a former chef -- while generally speaking a chef raised with a style of food has a starting leg up on other chefs making the same style their background does not, in and of itself, make them better chefs. Case in point: While most of my favorite sushi chefs are Japanese, one of the best here locally is Croatian. (He used to work on a fishing boat.) He is certainly better than some of the Japanese sushi chefs I've been to. Is he as up on the finer regional distinctions as my favorite Japanese chefs? No -- but his rice is nigh perfect and he knows fish.
re: Richard 16
That's a great description: easy to please, difficult to impress. Of course, clearly, many people pride themselves (on this message board site, I mean) on being difficult to please to begin with.
I don't care whether something is Americanized, authentic or something entirely different...I look for a place that I can get good service, my wife (who has some dietary restrictions) can find something she'll like without having to bail out to plain pasta or some such thing, perhaps a decent cocktail and good food. Some of the buffets, authentic places etc don't have all of those things.
Nice menu but why pay all that money for a little food and some ambiance I know some oriental buffets for 8$s I'd rather go too and get my fill of baked salmon squid and snow crab till I pass out.And If I sneak in a beer and chug it in the bathroom theres another 4$s savings.;)
My wife and I really enjoy PF Changs. I have either lived in , or travelled to Taiwan / HK / China for the past 20 years yet I still enjoy Changs. No , it is not authentic but it is good..
PFC is a hot topic on the Chowhound board. In my opinion, PFC beats the average Chinese food place dish for dish - meaning that Kung Pao Chicken at PFC beats the Kung Pao Chicken at a random Chinese place. That said, a good Chinese place will always beat PFC for food, especially for more specialized dishes. Unfortunately, good places are still hard to come by, especially in the suburbs.
It is impossible to have a rational discussion with the usual topics "Why is PF Changs So Bad?" or "PF Chang's- could it actually be any good?" This shows an inclination to accept only arguments that prove one's point rather than discussing the merits of each dish. I prefer some dishes (crispy honey shrimp, Chang's chicken, etc.), brown rice, good cocktails, and new spins on classic Americanized Chinese food at PFC over my local places. Most of the time, I do not want the more exotic food offered by the local Chinese places, even though it may be excellent, nor do I want the long drive.
PF Changs is terrible faux-chinese food.
I also dont get the "raves" about the lettuce wraps. I was not impressed.
Ate there once(darn work lunch where I was outvoted), and had a terrible meal.
Luckily in Chicago, and the suburbs we have many fine chinese restaurants, some hole-in-the wall spots, and some sit down spots that make eating at PF Changs unnecessary.
When I want chinese food, I want the person taking my order to be Chinese, and all the cooks in the kitchen to be Chinese. I know PF Changs cannot offer that.
Personally, I like PF Changs. Many complain the food is too salty, but I've been to plenty of "real" Chinese places here in the SGV, capital of Chinese restaurants in the U.S. and I could say the same of them. Also, many complain PF C's isn't authentic. Granted it isn't, but does that make the food bad just because it isn't authentic? I've been to numerous "authentic" Chinese places, again in the SGV, and the food was at best mediocre. Some people seem to think that just because a place sells weird stuff, or if the menu is only in Chinese, that it has to be good but let me tell you, there's plenty of horrible "authentic" Chinese places. My wife is Chinese (from Hong Kong) and laughs when I jokingly tell her PF Chang's is the real thing, but I would honestly rather eat there than over half the places that we go to with her family who eats nothing but Chinese food when they go out to dinner.
re: sweetnspicy
See, now you like the stuff that isn't necessarily "authentic" but it's good, isn't it? I like stuff like that, too.
re: monkuboy
That's a very good way to put it!
You will never convince me to set foot in PFC just as long as there are authentic Chinese places where I can go to. And I can't convince you that the stuff they serve are any good. Its like taking real Italians to a Olive Gardens or to a Bucca di Beppo, which I happen to like, and convince them that this is great food. So, I'll end my part of the discussion here and not waste any more time.
re: Phaedrus
I'm a "real Italian," and I have enjoyed (I wouldn't say "liked") Bucca di Beppo because I understand that it's not Italian food; it's Bucca di Beppo food. It's unfair, and a little silly, to compare ethnic-y foods to ethnic foods because they're not the same thing. It's too bad that Phaedrus and some others limit themselves by refusing to simply experience a flavor or dish for what it is instead of comparing it to what it isn't.
It's like refusing to hire a plus-sized model for a plus-sized clothing line just because they don't look like a "traditional" model.
just went to PF Chang's on Sunday. first the ridiculous sauce mixture - the waitress comes and mixes spicy mustard and hot sauce into a separate dish, then adds black vinegar! i shared the shrimp dumplings - leaden things not resembling any dumplings i've previously had. then had the changdu lamb, which I ordered b/c I didn't want anything resembling the real chinese food i've had. this was overcooked lamb, very salty, and every so often a taste of cumin. it did have that wok hotness(?). The best part was dessert -completely American indulgence of thin chocolate eggrolls dipped in caramel-peanut butter and caramel chips. whoo- I felt disgustingly full afterwards. oh yeah, it was about 50 degrees in the restaurant. my overall impression immediately afterwards: i'm never going back. my thoughts now, i don't want to rag on it to non-foodie friends, so i would go. an italian friend once told me he goes to "italian" restaurants in the states and enjoys his meal as long as he doesn't think of it as italian. i think that's the way to approach pf chang's. i'm guessing the kung pao chicken is much better there than at my neighborhood place. if you have no other chinese options, this might work for you.
re: fara
Well, I've only had two business lunches at PFC...one okay, one just yesterday (i was coerced!) however...first of all, in the southwest corner of this great country, most - not all, but most - of the "real" Chinese restaurants are of the formica table-paper napkin ilk - and some are indeed quite good. But it's not a business lunch place, for the most part. So there's a niche for PF Chang's. Yesterday I ordered the "Sichuan chicken quesadilla." It had a slaw on the side. Know what? Not awful. Had "sweet" registering for hours after, but while eating it...not awful. Good smoky taste on a grilled tortilla, some evident spice in the chicken...really, not a bad little lunch - for $7!!! -at all. And it was not unpleasant in that restaurant. Extra points for really pleasant service. I'd do it again.
as is clearly demonstrated in this thread, taste is subjective. try it and judge for yourself. you already know it's a chain and that it's not "authentic" chinese food. taking all that into consideration, it's not at the top of my restaurant list (or anywhere near it) but i wouldn't count it out, either. i accept it for what it is: a chain restaurant attempting to appeal to the masses.
I blieve P.F. Change's had its origins with the independently owned Panda Inn, in Pasadena, California. At one time we enjoyed the food there, but once they started expanding, opening more Panda Inn's and then the P.F. Chang's concept, it went downhill.
The last time we ate at our local Panda Inn there was a bit of a communication problem with our waitress, who did not seem to speak English. There were three of us and we thought we ordered one order of Peking duck for the three of us, we ended up wrestling with three Peking ducks that evening. For some reason, I have not had the urge to eat Peking duck since.

re: ChinoWayne
I stand corrected, P.F. Chang's was not born our of Panda Inn, it looks like it was born in that bastion of Chinese cuisine, Arizona: http://www.pfchangs.com/homeoffice.jsp
Now I am wondering who copied who's concept.
re: ChinoWayne
Dahling, I ate at this place once. Ick. Expensive, and not as good as some authentic Chinese restaurants in my area. I'll pass from now on.
re: ChinoWayne
P.F. Chang's stands for Paul Flemming. It is run by a white guy. Pasadena Panda Inn was the first restaurant (opened for more than 20 years) and after that, the owner's son decided to create Panda Express. The Panda Inn and Panda Express concepts are still both corporately owned and owned by a Chinese couple who live in the SGV. Panda Inn only has six locations, with the newest location at Universal City Walk.
re: nkong
From Wikipedia: "The initials "P.F." stands for the founder of the chain, Paul Fleming, while the "Chang" is derived from Fleming's co-developer, Phillip Chiang."
P.S. Perhaps it a geographic thing...but living the Bay Area, there's really no reason to eat at P.F. Chang's or TGIF, Olive Garden, Cheesecake Factory...and frankly there aren't any around (in SF, Berk/Oak). I'm sure there's something decent on all the menus...but I'll probably never know.
re: ML8000
Chains are more popular in the suburbs where large new developments are common. Older neighborhoods are usually too expensive for the chains to develop since new developments are very eager to offer cheap rent to a PFC, Cheesecake, etc. to draw customers to their stores. Also, competition from existing restaurants in an established neighborhood can make the competition more intense for the chain. Since corporate chains want to minimize costs and maximize revenue, you are unlikely to find them in older established neighborhoods.
I will not read the rest of the opinions until I say mine...I actually enjoy PF Changs. I have one right next to Houstons and Mortons (They share the same parking space) in Aventura FL/NMiami Beach. I have many choices that of course beat any chain, but yet I find myself returning to PF Changs because of their tasty simple dishes. Last time we went we saw they have added some new items in the middle of the menu as a "regional" special, the items were very good, like a combination of spanish with chinese, interesting! I always get the lighter dishes like the simple shrimp on garlic sauce and brown rice. Still, its refreshing.
re: SarahOM
I went last Friday with a group of friends to the one in Boca. Firstly service was excellent and so were the drinks.
onto the food, forget authentic chinese or not, for me it was dull. I had Mongolian beef and rice. The beef was tender and nice but the sauce was tasteless and it was supposed to be ginger. If it had been near a piece of ginger I would be surprised. The rice was tasteless too so I had to add a lot of soy sauce just to get flavour.
It was fun in a group context but I would agree what I had (also veggie spring rolls) was tasteless.
Just order their chicken lettuce wraps and get a beer, and you won't understand why some people bash PF Chang's. As for the other dishes, you're on your own. But seriously, it's not horrible; some of the dishes are good enough or ok, and some just make me sad. But I would not revolt against eating there like I would with the Olive Garden.
PF Chang's is a big leap above Panda Express and even Panda Inn, just as Buca di Beppo is a big leap above Olive Garden and Macaroni Grill.
The Lemon-Pepper Shrimp is actually really good. Worth going back for. Again, as echoed in the post, not authentic but who cares. Those who completely refuse to eat foods that aren't "authentic" are boring. There's authentic mexican and mexican-american, there's authentic italian and italian american, etc. Both disciplines have merit.
Hey, I love authentic Mexican food, but that doesn't mean I don't hit up Taco Bell or Don Pablo's every now and again. I'm Italian, but sometimes I'm just in the mood to go to Buca and soak up some garlic.
Likewise, sometimes I want "real Chinese food" and sometimes I want "American Chinese food." There's some tasty stuff at PFC's. Can't say I lobby to go there because if I'm going to eat "American Chinese Food" I'd sooner call my local (and excellent) takeout joint and veg out on the couch (and have better tea!). But if friends are going, I won't chafe about it.
So it's not authentic. Did anyone ever say it was? That seems like a bad criteria for judgement.
Now if you ate the food and you just don't like it, there's nothing more to say. Not everyone likes everything and there ain't nothing wrong with that.
re: jzerocsk
Well said!
Jim, I've not eaten at a PF Chang's, but I have tried the food. It was offered at a walk-around wine and food event. The executive chef himself sauced, assembled, and handed me a signature wrap. It was horrible, glopped with an insane amount of sweet hoisin sauce, bitter spicing with a harsh and out of balance chili element, too much salt, and overcooked meat. I really wish I'd asked him whether he'd ever tasted one of these things himself! I imagine that it might be possible that an individual cook at one of the locations is preparing the executive chef's recipes and concepts better than he does himself, as you've editorialized about before when the soul-lessness of chains has been discussed. But I doubt it.
They're definitely great for someone; it's hard to argue with the evident success of a national chain, eh?
My in-laws take me there whenever I visit Palm Springs (they're white, I'm Asian) and at first the place baffled me. I wondered why they were serving white-people food in an Asian-esque decor restaurant (I've worked my way through a lot of the menu and tried food from their plates). I like to think of the place as what would happen if an Asian cook got stranded in an American small town (where Scots are the significant minority group) and then went to the local grocery store to see what he could work with.
Think of it that way and the place is amazing and creative; think then of taking it on the road and selling to America and it's genius! Think of it as Chinese food and well ... feh! But, PFC has taken a lot of my white relatives' money and the folks couldn't be happier. Me, I just order soup, the lettuce wraps, alcohol, and dessert and enjoy the company.
Wow...after reading the posts I'm almost totally afraid to reply! I've been to the Changs in Palm Beach Gardens several times...and it was great...no, not authentic, but tasty... usually have the lettuce wraps mentioned here, but their cucumber sesame salad is wonderful as is their salt and pepper calamari! Chinese calamari? don't think so...but it is SOOO good! Have not been to the Baltimore store yet though...
re: crosby_p
Salt and pepper calamari is a staple of Cantonese-style Chinese restaurants, although most of them call it by its proper name, squid.
According to legend, when Joyce Chen opened her first Chinese restaurant in Boston's North End in the '50s, she renamed certain items so as to avoid freaking out people used to the Italian restaurants in the neighborhood. As a result, to this day, a large number of Chinese restaurants in Boston call potstickers "Peking ravioli."
I'm sure Chinese restaurants calling squid -- a staple of the Cantonese diet -- "calamari" is the same principle. I wouldn't be shocked if this could be traced back to Joyce Chen as well.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
Thanks Barmy...I didn't know that!
living in south florida it's not easy to find good 'chinese' food... especially my absolute Favorite: Singapore Noodles. I have to say I do really like them at PFC... A little oily and the chef is a little Too Scallion happy, but tastes more like curry and better than any of the local chinese places around here. Authentic or not, don't really care, as some people said before. as long as it's tasty!
PF Changs is good, if you order carefully...The lettuce wraps, orange peel beef, hot and sour soup, and dumplings are all quite good...(Skip the "Wall of Chocolate"...not worth the calories...)We enjoy the duck as well....No this is not "authentic Chinese food", but it is very enjoyable...Love the Martinis as well!LOL
I enjoy the lettuce wraps and the dry rub short ribs (a perfect lunch to share). For some reason I have a hard time finding ribs without bbq sauce slathered all over them.
I was recently put on a gluten free diet. And let me tell you they have a gluten free menu, so it works for me. Not a lot of restaurants in my area offer gluten free menus. I give them that for props.
OMG!! what an experience , LOL !! I took my little boy with me, and we ordered the meal for two, lol, they screwed that up so bad, they forgot the appetizers, they only gave my son i dare to say maybe 5 sweet and sour chicken and i got a couple of spoonfuls of almond chicken and then we got 1 rice bowl - All of this for 40.00 !! and then i made the mistake of ordering an alcoholic beverage, a beer , they charged me for it but it never arrived !! I will never eat their again, btw, there isn't any mgmt staff on duty, because i complained and ask for someone to talk to, but they never came !! Oh and this is really really funny, they added a 10.00 gratiuty on my check, lol, i guess they really wanted to rip me off good, --they succeeded but I will never eat there again. Its pretty bad when you have to stop at mcdonalds on the way home after leaving dinner PF Changs , I believe that they are marketing the statues and the wall paintings , it can't be the food or service !!, But here is the interesting thing, the place is always packed !! Could it be that all those people are first timers?? Is PFChangs a one time ripp off place and then they just keep getting new folks?? I mean there were other folks complaining at other tables while i was there, so I know its not just a one time thing, ...its very bizzare ....how are they staying in business, is it from the profit of PeiWei, i mean the same company ownes both. Ripped off in OKC, OK
I will answer your question this way - It all depends upon the standard of the Chinese restaurants you have gone to. When I lived in Los Angeles we were surrounded by high quality, and very authentic Chinese. PF Changs to us was a poor Asian Fusion concept that wasn't particularly good. However after living in the Pacific Northwest surrounded by some of the worst Chinese restaurants I have ever been in PF Changs seems like a decent alternative when we are craving Asian style food.
Therefore my LA rating of PF Changs would be a 3 out of 10 but my Pacific Northwest rating would be a 6 (maybe even a 7) out of 10.
re: RetiredChef
Ummm....the Pacific Northwest? The one with Vancouver BC in it? And Seattle, which has some of the best Sichuan I've found anywhere in North America (including LA, Vancouver and NYC)? If you live in Salem or Bend or somewhere, fine, but don't say the PNW.
But I am actually posting to see if anyone can steer me toward anything edible at PF Changs. It is a favorite of my gluten free mother and also my sister, so I'm guaranteed to end up here 3 times a year. I thought it would be a perfectly acceptable, sort of healthy Americanized version of Chinese food, so I thought it would be fine. But oh my god--worse food I have rarely had. It's like what I imagine small town Chinese to be--gloppy sweet sauces, fried things (with battered crust) where you expect stir fried....I;ve tried at least 10 different things and they are astoundingly bad. My husband, who normally would not turn his nose up at chains, even hates it. But there has to be something edible. There has to be. Help me out--what should I get next time? Preferably seafood or veg--I hate getting meat at these kind of chains, since I'm sure it's the worst kind of factory farmed meat.
re: christy319
Lettuce wraps/veg fried rice/spicy green beans.
My mom looooves PF Chang's.
re: Samalicious
I'll try the veg fried rice and the beans, thanks--those sounds like good suggestions, hard to really screw up. My sister loves the lettuce wraps so I've tried those, and I don't like them at all.
re: christy319
On chowhound the boards are divided this way:
* B.C. (including Vancouver)
*etc, etc
* Greater Seattle
* Metro Portland
* Pacific Northwest
My use of PNW is the same way that chowhound uses the nomenclature so it does not include restaurants under the heading of Canada. While I thought it was clear that I was speaking about the pacific northwest board since I did not mention the Seattle board it has obviously caused you some confusion I am sorry for that.
I agree that Seattle has some very good Asian restaurants the rest of the pacific northwest as chowhound defines it, not so much.
Happy New Year
I found Chang's tremendously disappointing. Like the theme park version of an Asian restaurant. I was actually embarrassed as our idiot child server explained the dipping sauces.
I've only been once, and that experience made me really miss our tried and true Chinese/fusion place.
Strangely I was kind of impressed with their Pei Wei diner offshoot. Had lunch there once during a conference out of town. Everything seemed pretty fresh, and was clearly being cooked to order in the open kitchen. I'd do it again, but wouldn't go out of my way.
One thing I look for in any Chinese place is how well they control the heat for the stir fry. Beff is especially difficult. You are stir frying a mixture of foods that get cooked in different times, so when you put the ingredients in is critical, plus, when you take t5hem out is equally critical since the meats will continue to cook with the residual heat. A great Chinese cook can make the beef tender to the bite, a hack will almost always overcook the meats and undercook the vegetables. This is what I have found the few times I have been to PF Chang's. the beef is not exactly tough, but it is always past the tender point. There are times when the vegetables show up dried up and charred, that is when I don't even want to try the meat.
whoever has yet to experience p.f. chang's i dare you to try the lettuce wraps and the hunan style hot fish and come back with an honest opinion. they are 2 of my absolute favorite dishes on their menu and definitely amongst any chain restaurant option.
I used to eat there occasionally about 10 years ago. I thought it was really good. My favorites were the Ma Po Tofu and the lettuce wraps.
I stopped going for many years and went back about 1 year ago for the last time. The quality had gone downhill quite a bit, so I'm not surprised most people here dislike it so much. I was quite disappointed.
I've been to PFC a few times. It used to be decent, IMO, now it's just awful. the last couple meals we had there were very disappointing - and we weren't expecting that much. <grin>
My wife and I went once, to the one in Lexington KY, about 6 months ago. They pack the tables in so closely that we had to climb over people to get to our table in the center. Then others had to climb over us to reach their tables. Not very pleasant.
I ordered an unsweetened iced tea, because in KY if you don't specify you get sweet. Sometimes even if you do you get sweet. What I got was some horrible peach flavored concoction. I asked our server for an unflavored unsweet tea and she said they don't serve that. So I had water.
I had some kind of spicy chicken dish that was waaaayyy too sweet and not spicy. The brown rice was a nice option. Our server was nice and took very good care of us. But I have no desire to go back.
re: chileheadmike
For us, the food is pretty high quality for what we can get for Chinese food where we live. We have had less positive experiences with service and quality of food issues, but mostly it is reliable. We like the shrimp dumplings, Ginger chicken, Mongolian beef and shrimp chow mein. I also like the curry vegetables.

The certified medical professionals of Providence Facial Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery smooth out crow's-feet, forehead wrinkles, and laugh lines with FDA-approved Botox injections. Board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Ginsburg injects the fine-line-freezing serum directly into creased areas, temporarily paralyzing the underlying muscles responsible for causing wrinkles and involuntary jazz blinks in one quick 20- to 45-minute session. The youthful results show up within three days of the procedure, keeping complexions looking taut and age defiant for up to four months.
With his long list of degrees, certifications, and hospital affiliations, Dr. Mark P. Solomon—who has been featured as an expert source in such publications as the Philadelphia Inquirer—sets any client who may be intimidated by cosmetic surgery at ease. Dr. Solomon harnesses his two decades of expertise to enhance appearances with a wide range of procedures, including liposuction, face lifts, and Botox. He also oversees a staff of medical aestheticians who perform noninvasive treatments, such as chemical peels and laser hair removal, which blasts unwanted hair with laser-tag guns.
The certified physicians of Philly Lipo Laser target fat cells with the FDA-approved Lapex 2000 BCS, whose noninvasive laser technology gradually trims away unwanted inches. Immediately after treatments, they can provide a 10-minute vibration-platform session to burn the same amount of calories as 30 minutes of exercise or two hours spent chewing gum vigorously. To complement treatments, doctors can also create a three-week exercise and nutrition program for patients to follow.
Along with Philly Lipo Laser's body contouring, its strategic partner, Morgan Chiropractic Center, administers physical adjustments and treats back injuries with a combination of medical expertise and holistic procedures.
Both laser hair removal and chemical peels are swift and precise, requiring little recovery time or ardous preparation. Physician Body Solutions' experienced and highly trained technicians can treat patients with a variety of skin and hair types, but results may vary depending on your skin tone and the character of your hair. These professional laser-whispers will be happy to consult with you on how many treatments it will take to achieve the results you are looking for.
Drs. Ryan Heffelfinger, Howard Krein, and Edmund Pribitkin share a distinction in their field: each holds the title of fellow from the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Together, the distinguished doctors and their team of anesthesiologists, registered nurses, and a medical aesthetician operate Jefferson Facial Plastics on the grounds of Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals. They focus their efforts on plastic and reconstructive surgery for the head, face, and neck, with services ranging from face lifts to hair transplants.
Jefferson Facial Plastics' therapies also include noninvasive med-spa services such as facials, microdermabrasion, and laser hair removal. The doctors also perform humanitarian work both locally and abroad, including traveling to Guatemala to repair children's cleft lips.

Weekend Watching: Wyden's Floor Speech on FISA ReauthorizationSubmitted by stm on Fri, 01/04/2013 - 23:11
He researched well for this speech and I really admire his call to follow the Constitution and our founding principles.
Can't we just make citizens' arrests for the traitors who voted for this bill and all the other garbage they enact? Or would that be considered an act of war? Why must we wait for the 'second shot heard round the world?'

I'll also note
He mentions Rand Paul at about 40 minutes....and then again at the end.
He talks about "secret laws" at about 50 minutes.
And even gets a bit about Obama in at 56 minutes.
compares us to Brit ruler before our Revolution
somewhere around 13 minute mark.
Nice, Wyden.
surprising this is coming from a democrat

What paramedics and lifeguards thought was a shark bite turned out to be a cut from a surfboard, WPBF 25 News has learned.
Martin County Fire Rescue officials were called to a possible shark bite in Jensen Beach on Friday afternoon.
At first, rescuers believed the victim may have been bitten by a shark. Later, they learned the victim was badly cut by another surfboard after falling off his.
As a precaution, the beach was closed to swimmers.

Mayfair Hotel & Spa
|#23 in Best Miami Hotels
|Hotel Class 4.0-star
|Critic Rating Good
|Guest Rating
U.S. News Review
Dressed in beautiful dark mahogany wood and lit with Tiffany stained-glass windows, the 179 suites of the Mayfair Hotel & Spa are a special treat for a special occasion. Travelers say that this boutique hotel's ambiance caters primarily to couples. Some extra touches include 15-inch LCD televisions for the bathrooms (and 42-inch TVs in the bedrooms), soaking tubs on the balconies and Egyptian cotton bedding. However, not all guests were impressed by their stay here, saying that the property's positive qualities were overshadowed by not-so-great customer service. On the plus side, this beautiful property serves a mean pizza in the Spartico restaurant, earns praise for the treatments offered at the Jurlique Spa and has one of the most panoramic rooftop pools in Greater Miami (complete with L-shaped sofas and flat-screen TVs in eight private cabanas). You'll find the Mayfair in Miami's upscale Coconut Grove neighborhood.

"Pretty Little Liars" recap (3.05) — A Prayer for Paige McCullers
At school, Spencer and Emily cower in the courtyard and squint hatefully at Jenna and tally all the horrible things she's done to them over the years. Spencer is like, "When you add this whole 'Oh, I'm using my eyeballs to see' thing to all of the other things, the total ways she's wronged any of us is zero." Emily's like, "I know. What a bitch. I'm going to say something to her!" She acts like she's just going to storm on over there and accost her in front of everyone, like, "Are you looking?!?!" But Spencer pulls her back and feeds her two clues to calm her nerves. 1) Aria saw Lucas trying to break into a photography studio where she used to work, which is probably where he was skulking off to that night they saw him at 4:00 a.m. 2) Garrett's getting out of jail to visit his dying mom.
Jenna hand-delivers invitations to Spencer and Emily, and when Emily sneers, "What's inside?" Jenna goes, "A firecracker. BOOOM! You're blind. Just kidding, it's an invite to my birthday." Spencer says they had a deal, which isn't really something I remember. I mean, I remember Jenna pleading with the Liars to keep her secret because she's a victim too, but I'm pretty sure if Jenna had made a pact/blood oath with them, I would have remembered. Anyway, she says probably the most revealing thing about her character, and also gives some heavy insight into the message of this whole show, which I think is one of the most female-empowering things happening on TV right now. She says, "This is the new deal: I feel a lot safer when I am in charge of what happens to me."
I don't have time to blather on about it, but isn't that really the backbone of this whole narrative? Who's in charge of women and their hyper-charged sexuality? Is it the Byron Montgomerys of the world with their True Love Waits projects? The Ians and Jasons with their exploitation? Society wants to control female sexuality, and when they can't cage it, or convince women that the sole purpose of it is to satisfy the male gaze, or manipulate women into feeling less than because they can't attain the "perfection" of a magazine cover image, or press upon women that age-old church idea that their bodies belong to their fathers and then to their husbands, they'll try to squash it right out of them. It's easy money, it's easy politics, and it's gross, gross, gross. Just think for one second what would happen if every lady you know stood up and said, "This is the new deal: I'm in charge of what happens to me."
At Rear Window, Emily's boss tells her she'll have to taste Paige's cherry chapstick another night, because he needs a hand working Jenna's birthday party. Emily goes, "Goddamn, I hate that bitch." She's there planning her party with a photographer who has one of those hats you see old ladies wearing when they're covered in pigeons and singing about tuppens. Having been a victim of surveillance culture in ways we don't even know about yet, Jenna has decided to hire her own photographer for this party, to document every detail. The photographer is named Laurel Tuckman and she is drunk. She's like, "Has anyone seen my glasses? Probably my assistant Lucas stole them when he was stealing every other thing from my studio and sneaking in to develop photos of girls digging up graves. Has anyone seen my glasses?" Emily overhears the whole thing and reports it to Mission Control.
Nate comes in and blah blah blah who cares whatever.

we HAVE to draft this dude. our kicker and punter both suck, and henery does BOTH. and he does both tremendously.
and think about it. if we could get a player that does ALL aspects of the kicking game, that's an extra active roster spot. get that extra LB or DB or TE in the game.
and without even considering this extra roster spot, he's better than both weatherford and folk... by a lot.
what would be the earliest you'd want tanny to take him? i say 5th round. maybe 4th since we're at the end.
So...does he also hold his own kicks on FG's and PAT's?
The think is the gets would need to get him no later than the 125 pick as i dont think he will make it through the the 5th all the way to pick 160
he was awful at Senior Bowl practice today...
they had him kick field goals today...he hit one from 52 with enough height and distance that it would've been good from 65yds...
I know we will always be gun-shy about drafting a kicker because of nugent but i have to believe this guy is a lot better. nugent was more of a knee jerk reaction to what doug brien did to us 4 months earlier.
He's like the opposite of Chas Henry then.
No team has had someone kick and punt in like 30 years, and with good reason. It's a very different motion, and even though Henery did it in college, there's a slim chance that an NFL team will have him do it. What I want is to draft a kicker or punter who is also able to reliably produce touchbacks on kickoffs
Kicking a pro bowl is much different than kicking the college ball. Some kickers translate very well to it, while others just can't manage it.
That's what it comes down to with these rookie kickers and punters.

File this under "No Cool, Wacky Deed Shall Go Unlitigated." John Schnatter, Papa John of Papa John's Pizza, put out a $250,000 A.P.B. to find his long lost 1971 1/2 Camaro Z28. According to the folks at Papa John, the person who won the money was the one whose name was on the title of the car – that is, the owner of the car was paid the dosh for selling the car back to Schnatter. Kentuckian Jeff Robinson came forth with the car and took home the cash.
The Papa John's folks say the rules never said anything about finder's fees. But when the Sloanes of Indiana helped point Schnatter to Robinson, Schnatter offered them $25,000 for the assist. How did the Sloanes know about the car? They had owned it previously and sold it to Robinson.
Now the Sloanes aren't happy about "only" getting $25,000. Billie Sloane wants more of that quarter million, and will sue Papa John if he doesn't pony up the cake. Her evidence is "advertisements and a press release that promised the money to whomever could 'reveal the car's whereabouts.'" Jeff Robinson chimes in, though, and says Sloane came to him and said the original owner would buy the car from him for $125,000, and says that she didn't mention the contest nor the full amount of the reward.
No matter. Now it's between Sloane, Papa, and potentially the courts. If only Papa John had listened to the late M.J. about another famous Billie: "So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice..." Um, yeah, never saw this one coming. Good luck, Papa John...

Wiki Headlines
18th Nov: We've switched servers and will be updating the old code over the next couple months, meaning that several things might break. Please report issues here.
main index
The articles go in the wiki, the trope proposals go in YKTTW, everything is nice, clean and natter-free. However, there's a problem: You liked natter, you enjoy discussing tropes and works with your fellow tropers, you love adding witty snark to the nearest Twilight or Eragon example... Worry not! There is a place where you can do all this and much, much more: The Forum. So... What's with this "forum" we keep talking about? Well, for starters, it allows a more fluid conversation between tropers, avoiding Conversation in the Main Page (or on the YMMV tab, for that matter — just because every trope there is subjective does not mean that conversation and debate is encouraged there, either.). It also covers a broad spectrum of topics, meaning you can talk about pretty much anything you like. The forum is not, however, completely isolated from the wiki: it has a vital role in the administration of the site; trope renames, reworkings, and general wiki policies are all discussed in it. Many subforums have a herald, dedicated to welcoming newbies and acting as a guide. If you have any questions, feel free to contact them. But enough gushing, for those people who don't want to read through the detailed What Goes Where On The Forums guide, let's have a quick overview:
Subforums:Frequently Asked Questions
The FAQ section of the site, which details common procedures on the forums and site rules. It also hosts several high-usage threads.
Herald: Septimus Heap — Contact
Wiki & Forums:Trope Talk
Here we discuss everything regarding tropes: are they good? bad? how to apply them? which are your favourite? and many more trope related discussions.
Herald: Septimus Heap — Contact Sandbox
For all your forum testing needs. Tech Wishlist & Bug Reports
Think the wiki or the forum could use some extra feature? Found a part of the site that's screwing up? Add your suggestions/requests/reports here.
Herald: VmKid — Contact Wiki Talk
Anything wiki related, including discussion about policies for examples, tropes, natter, etc..
Herald: Telcontar — Contact Translations
Join the multi-language TV Tropes project! The title is pretty self explanatory. Trope Repair Shop
This is where trope renames, merges and splits are proposed, discussed, voted on, and decided. Since it deals with topics regarding the wiki, it is more serious than the rest of the forum, and off-topic posting is highly discouraged.
Herald: Discar — Contact Image Pickin'
See a page without an image, or with an image that doesn't explain the trope very well? Go here to help choose a good picture.
Herald: Willbyr — Contact Projects: Long Term/Perpetual
A place for perpetual cleanup projects like natter or Complete Monster where you are supposed to bring the items in question to the topic.
Herald: Nocturna — Contact Projects: Short Term
A place to start cleanup projects in general.
Herald: Nocturna — Contact Content Violation Discussions
In this forum, as explained in The Content Policy and the 5P Circuit, the 5P discuss whether to cut certain pages for falling afoul of our new content policy. Of course, other people are allowed to voice their opinions and provide evidence for and against works on the chopping block.
Herald: Arha — Contact
Just for Fun:Yack Fest
This subforum is for random conversation and general discussion, because every forum needs one of those. Threads tend to go off-topic very frequently, and it is also the most "community-oriented" subforum, perfect for newbies.
Herald: Parable — Contact Forum Games
Run-of-the-mill forum games... with a troperiffic twist.
Herald: Classifiedzerogoki — Contact Wild Mass Guessing
Want to share your zany Epileptic Trees? That's what the WMG tab on your favorite work's TV Tropes page is there for, but you may also want to see whether other tropers agree with your theory. It Just Awes Me!
A place for gushing, added after much demand.
Herald: Earl of Sandvich — Contact Live Bloginations
Document your experience as you watch/play/read a new series! This board has been archived, but has been succeeded by a new section of the site, Live Blogginations. Troper Covens

The old farts sitting around on the porch talking while the kids play tag and chase the dog and have squirt gun fights in the yard. If the kids want to come over and join the conversation, the adults won't chase them away, but they are expected to be calm and behave.

General Behaviour: The forum is generally easygoing. The tropers posting there are usually polite and friendly, and they probably won't give you any trouble. Conversations on any subforums other than "On-Topic Conversations", "Image Pickin' " and "Trope Repair Shop" tend to switch topics both quickly and frequently, so it's a good idea to read at least the last page of any thread to know what's going on right now. This is not /b/, so please refrain from making offensive, badly spelled and completely random posts. There is no hierarchy in the forum, no postcount nor join date, and everybody owes everybody the same amount of respect. A short list of rules may be found here. No NSFW links are allowed on the threads. This includes sites that have NSFW content and/or ads. There are moderators, who want nothing more than to have nothing to do except chat like everybody else. However, they can and will delete or edit offensive or insulting posts, lock threads that have turned ugly, issue warnings and for unacceptable behavior. and they can forum-ban for repeated or excessive unpleasantness. They're listed on the Know the Staff page, and you can PM any of them with requests for intervention if you feel it's necessary. At the top of each post is a yellow triangle icon, This is the Holler button; it sends a post to a mods-only thread. Use it to report posts that break the rules; to ask for a crowner to be hooked or unhooked, or for a thread to be locked; or to ask for a mod to take a look at something in the forums on an official basis. Since all of the mods can see a post in the Hollers thread, the response will generally be faster than PM'ing a particular mod and hoping that they're online.

Has Kentucky opened a Dominican big man pipeline?
Jul 13, 2013, 6:10 PM EST
This just in: every move John Calipari makes pays recruiting dividends.
Hanging with Charlie Sheen? Money.
Posing with arch-nemesis Rick Pitino? Also gold.
Being chosen to drive the Kentucky Speedway pace car? Got his name in the papers.
Not getting to drive the pace car after all? Ditto.
Losing in his hometown in the first round of the NIT? OK, maybe I'm stretching the premise here.
But you have to admit, choosing to coach the Dominican National Team – a lesser light in international basketball circles – has paid off in a big way for Calipari. And it may be the gift that keeps on giving, according to Ben Roberts of the Lexington Herald-Leader.
John Calipari and Orlando Antigua coached [Karl] Towns for two summers with the Dominican national team. That relationship helped them land the 7-footer, who remains UK's only commitment in the class of 2014.
Now another 2014 prospect with Dominican ties is emerging as an elite player in the class, and Kentucky's coaching staff is in a prime position.
Angel Delgado — a Dominican native — came to the United States last year and has been steadily climbing the recruiting rankings.
Delgado is 6'9″ and reported to be a great rebounder with a motor that doesn't quit. That may not be enough to jump him over the likes of Cliff Alexander and Trey Lyles on Coach Cal's big board, but it wouldn't exactly hurt the program to nab an athletic project who might stick around and be a glue guy for more than two semesters. Then again, Zagsblog.com says Delgado is coming on like gangbusters, so let's not underestimate him.
One thing seems sure, Coach Cal has the first shot at Delgado if he wants him. All because he – and now his assistant Orlando Antigua – have put in some time coaching basketball for a small Caribbean nation.
All I can say to that is: Get on his level. The guy is in another time zone in terms of recruiting.

Fizzy Womack and Term are at work on a full-length, which will release after the "1982" project, with guest work from Alchemist and Sticky Fingaz.
Later this month, longtime emcee and production duo Termanology and Statik Selektah will release their official collaborative debut, 1982 on Showoff Records. In a recent interview with the United Kingdom's Hip Hop Chronicle however, Termanology revealed that he has another full-length collaboration in the works.
The Lawrence, Massachusetts emcee will team with veteran emcee/producer Lil Fame, of M.O.P. fame for an untitled project. "It's been done," revealed Termanology. Additionally, he said, "We're trying to get, maybe one beat from [DJ] Premier, and then we'll be done." The rapper said that over 30 tracks were recorded, with approximately 17 intended to make the forthcoming release. Fame, who produces under the moniker of Fizzy Womack, handled a bulk of production, with Alchemist and Statik Selektah contributing additional work.
At present, UGK's Bun B and Onyx's Sticky Fingaz are confirmed guests, with more expected.
Previously, Fame and Termanology have worked together on M.O.P.'s 2009 album, Foundation and Termanology's 2008 debut, Politics As Usual.
The interview, posted below, also touches on Statik Selektah's abilities and more.
