| - It's Saturday night, 10:30pm, we just got out of a show and we're totally hungry and utterly dehydrated. Both of these facts make perfect sense. We're hungry since we haven't eaten in the last 12 hours. We're extremely dehydrated because all we've ingested over the same 12 hours are cocktails, martinis, ketel one with diet rockstar, basically all kinds of chemicals that make you feel drunk and/or wired, but most certainly do not replenish the water content of your body at the cellular level. Since we're staying at the Aladdin, we decide to eat at P.F. Chang's as it's convenient and always good.
The wait for a table is 45 minutes so we opt to eat at the bar instead. The bartender, Peter, and his assistant both totally rock and do a stellar job with impeccable service. We start with drinks as I get yet another martini and my wife gets a pear mojito. Before I ingest a drop of alcohol, though, I ask for a glass of ice water. I then proceed to drink 7 glasses of water within the next 10 minutes before even touching my martini. Clearly my basic bodily function have decided that my brain is too fucked up to make the right choice and the cells in my body decide that they need to unite against this tyrant who keeps feeding them alcohol instead of pure and rejuvenating water. Thankfully, I'm not that stupid that I would fight such a primal urge, so I drink glass after glass after glass of H2O. Although I get a quizzical look from the assistant behind the bar, she's happy to oblige and brings me glass after glass as fast as I drink them.
We got the crab wontons and the Peking potstickers as appetizers. I then had the Dan Dan Noodles and my wife had the crispy orange beef. The best, said she, crispy orange beef she has ever had the pleasure to eat at P.F. Chang's. Now we've been to Woodland Hills, San Diego, Thousand Oaks, Walnut Creek, and Emeryville locations, so we're not newbies. Still, by far, she said this dish shined far above any other she has ever had.
I had the Dan Dan noodles, which were quite good and had a good spicy kick to 'em. I gotta say though that after the 8 or 9 glasses of water that I drank and the crab wontons that I chomped on, I wasn't all that hungry at that point. My eyes glazed over which typically means that I'll be snoring away within the next 15 minutes. We took this as our cue to head back to the room for some well deserved sleep.
