        Yup. That's not incredibly common though, unless you can get
to a Chinatown or someplace similar. Most Chinese-American
restaurants tend to just have one menu. (Y'know the kind, the ones
with specialties like General Tso's Chicken, Sweet+Sour, Orange Beef,
and other American dishes)

        Unfortunately, you have to cook most of this stuff youself.
It's hard to find good restaurants around here that aren't Italian or
Chinese-American.
