  "textContent": "Say you're trying out a new Chinese restaurant. Anything specific you order as a litmus test to determine if you'll like the joint?\n\nI can't really describe what I'm looking for when I order and decide if I like the place and will come back but here's what I order:\n\nChinese - chow mein\nMexican - al pastor. If not available, chili verde\nPizza - plain ol' pepperoni\nItalian - hard to say since we don't have an italian place in town and there aren't really any within 50 miles. I guess chicken marsala?\nSeafood - lame but usually try their clam chowder lol\nIndian - no idea. I've been to an indian joint maybe once in my life. food was good but I don't remember what I ordered. assuming some kind of curry. Closest joint is 30 miles away and we try to avoid the town as much as possible.\nThai - not really any joints within 30 miles so I rarely eat it. I've had pad thai with chicken before and liked it.",
