Rachael Ray - San Francisco episode of $40 a Day

So on this episode, I discovered that Ray-Ray knows jack-shit about Chinese food, which is baffling to me, because doesn't she live in New York? They don't have dim sum over there? They have no carts! It is not dim sum without the carts! The man who prepared food for her gave her fucking potstickers and egg rolls. No one ever orders potstickers. And egg rolls are the worst thing on any Chinese menu; I only get them at buffets because I am masochistic and hope that this time, they will be crunchy and contain yummy vegetables that aren't days old, but no. Inevitably, Chinese egg rolls are soggy, filled with days-old napa cabbage that tastes bitter. If you want egg rolls, order in a Vietnamese or other South Asian restaurant. Crispy, with fresh veggies and just the right amount of grease.

Oh, and the kicker was that she passed over all the items that I consider "authentic" dim sum food - she looked at barbecue pork bun and went "What's that?" in a way that only Rachael Ray can. What does it say it is, genius? She passed over the har gow. No shrimp dumplings, chicken feet, sticky rice, yada yada. Bleh!

The French restaurant she went to looked good, though. It's called Le Metro - $12.50 for a 3-course meal? I'm so there.
