Not that I dispute the idea that one restaurant may copy
another's menu but, given the usual number of offerings,
similarities are not surprising. Sometimes you wonder what
dishes the restaurants *do not* make. The rather good (even if
the name sounds unlikely) Bob's 88 Shabu-Shabu in Rockville, MD
is a case in point. I might even be able to learn some Chinese
characters from their menu (in English and Chinese) if the
Chinese characters were not almost too small to read. I've yet
to be able to write the character for "chicken". I guess I'll
have to use a magnifying glass.
