If you need to use a fork, YOU SHOULD HAVE WENT TO LEANN CHIN!

So Saturday was my brother-in-law’s birthday, and for dinner he requested that we go to the Tanpopo Noodle Shop in St. Paul. Sometimes up for new things, and being one who usually enjoys asian food as a general rule, I was up for it.

So when we walked in, it struck me immediately that every place setting only had chopsticks. Every patron was using chopsticks. I’m guessing Tanpopo owns no forks – which means, you guessed it, CHOPSTICK CRASH COURSE!

So I wrote a little haiku:

Just chopsticks, not forks.
Tanpopo beef udon bowl.
And I did not starve.
