Pay day for Pei Wei

First off, I have to express my disappointment with Roger Federer for losing to Djokovic. My prediction of that game; and in fact, the entire open couldn't have been further off-base.

with that out of the way, I proceed to describe my experience at Pei Wei Asian Cafe today. This is the first time I have been to a counter service restaurant that was on a false wait. The wait wasn't that long, but there were plenty of tables open. Evidently there was some sort of issue with the gas line that had resulted in one station being shut down. The managers really managed the situation pretty well, but it was odds nonetheless. Those things tend to pop up during the first week a restaurant is open.

Other than that operational problem, the food was really good. Sarah and I ordered:
• Crab wontons -- better than PF Chang's
• Thai dynamite -- a spicy orangey mix -- very good
• Asian coconut curry -- I measure all curry against Earl's in Denver, and this had a similar flavor profile, but was missing something.

All in all a good experience. We will be back.
