These are the opinions and adventures of a Washington, D.C.-based epicure as he cooks and eats around town and around the country. Sometimes witty, sometimes laudatory, sometimes acid, La Cuvée Americaine is an always-truthful account of the food journeys, restaurant visits, and culinary thoughts of the D.C. Gourmand.

Tai Shan Chinese Restaurant, Washington, D.C.
Saturday, we were back in Chinatown, and hit Tai Shan, a Chinese place that features $4.95 lunch specials. I had the Hunan chicken, with a huge amount of chicken plus brocolli and carrots in a spicy sauce. Ian had the chicken with mixed vegetables, but what he'd really wanted was chicken with snow peas and baby corn, so he wasn't that excited about his lunch special. He ate everything except the broccoli, bamboo shoots, and cabbage (those vegetables were most of the dish!), but it all looked quite good to me.
