| - A hole-in-the-wall joint on Verona's main drag, Dragon City serves the town (and employees of the giant nearby software corporation) quickly, deliciously, and inexpensively. As a former employee of the aforementioned software company, Dragon City was worth at least a weekly trip, two if it was a particularly rough week and late work nights and hunger pangs sent me on an evening food run or two.
Now that I no longer live in the Madison area, I sometimes find myself craving their sesame chicken and vegetable egg rolls, and the exceptionally low price of $4.25 for their lunch specials. Where on earth can you get a full meal (or two if you're a light eater) of coma-inducing Chinese food? While I admit that if I were to search hard enough, I'd find somewhere in Houston that has similar prices and food, there are so many Chinese food restaurants that it'd be a lengthy search indeed. Dragon City required absolutely no effort to find, so while the food is four-star worthy (I love fried rice, and theirs is pretty mediocre), I added one for convenience. Call your order in and it's ready to go in 10 minutes. Take 20 minutes to eat, and then spend the next four hours trying to be productive while every ounce of energy your body can muster is working against your ambition to put you into the deepest of slumbers.
I also shouldn't fail to mention that the staff are very friendly, and had a pretty good idea of what I'd be ordering when they heard my voice on the phone or saw me come through the door.
If I ever find myself in the Madison area again, I certainly won't skip on a lunch special at Dragon City.
