The New Tang Dynasty
At the peak of their popularity, most restaurants wouldn’t take the risk of reinventing their menu. There’s the possibility of alienating your regular patrons, falling short of your clientele’s expectations, or simply failing to make the new menu work. The menu is the most critical point of a restaurant’s success. Tweaking it occasionally is relatively good (adding new dishes, improving on them, and removing the unpopular ones), but shifting it can really be hazardous. However, popular fast-casual Chinese restaurant Tang City did it anyway.

A New Cookbook Is Here

Thanks To Sonya
I was ready to give up! My whole body was screaming, "Relax!" I was losing all hope of rest. And, it’s just 11 days before Christmas! How can a mom, suffering from a bout of viral colds and three cute little girls to care for with a long Christmas gift list yet to be ticked off, rest? Add to that the pending menu for the week, a pantry waiting to be filled up, and a long overdue date with honey.
