Where:
Canton Chinese Restaurant,
1118 N.E. 78th St., Vancouver,
360-576-8699.
You'll love it
if: You've always
wanted to try two dozen
Chinese dishes in one
sitting.
Bring:
Anyone trying to bulk up
for football season.
Be sure to try:
The teriyaki chicken, which
balances salty and sweet,
and the General Tso's chicken,
which tingles the tongue
with just enough spice.
You should know:
Two cups of the average
restaurant's General Tso's
chicken has 830 calories,
37 grams total fat and 7
grams saturated fat, according
to the April 2005 issue
of O magazine.
Don't go if:
You just had a heart attack.
Best time to go:
When you're in a pinch for
time, but still want lunch
out. I went at 11:30 a.m.,
loaded up my plate, ate
and was out of the restaurant
at noon. To avoid any chance
of getting caught in the
lunch or dinner rushes,
try going at 11 a.m. or
4 p.m.

from the menu, appetizers
