You know you are getting old whenever you go to a restaurant and can't sleep the same night. It seems to be happening a lot more lately because we have been going out more than usual with friends and family over the holiday. Last evening we went to Peking Gourmet Inn. It was packed on a Sunday evening and all I could see was their specialty Peking Duck being brought with a great deal of fanfare to most tables. None of us care for duck so we stuck with more traditional things, but not traditional for us except the won ton soup. The place is located in a strip mall and very unassuming from the outside. It was an experience as soon as you enter. There are two huge dining rooms and a bar area and the walls are covered with pictures of the owners and dignitaries who have visited the establishment since the 1970's. Someone had a birthday and there was a huge choir of wait staff singing for the occasion. All I know is my mom had gallbladder surgery at the age I am now, and whenever we eat things not typically on our usual diet I am reminded of it. (Photos are from the restaurant website.)
