That Place in Lanzhou
I honestly wish that I knew where it was in Lanzhou and what it was called. Cindy, our Chinese guide, took the 13 families here one night for our routine family-style meals. Large tables with Lazy Susan’s filled with local fares. The best were these thin, spicy sesame-crusted chicken twists fried in oil. Those and a cold beer made the meal for me. I also overindulged in steamed buns and pork sandwiches.
