So I found this menu when I was down in Atlanta looking for apartments, and immediately, I became curious on whoever is behind this great service innovation. So, I dedicated my first night to it.
I walked in to the store. A fairly typical Chinese take out place with a counter at the front. The smell of the kitchen is great.... smells like Tapanyaki actually, but there was no Tapanyaki on the menu. Anyways, there was also a sushi bar, which was less than attractive(I refuse to eat cheap, sub par sushi, but then I can't afford good ones, so.... ). So I looked at the menu, and ordered Chicken Teriyaki simply because I've never seen this on a take out menu before. In no time, it was ready. As I was paying, the owner who had been checking me out(not that kind of intention!!!), asked me where I'm from. I said I am from Taiwan. He then asked me if I am renting a place near by. I said yes. He asked how much... I just named a random price. He then offered me a room in his house, for $1000 food included... hahahahaha!!!!! Damn Chinese businessman! He simply won't let a single possible cent off huh?
Think about it. If I eat about $10 a day, that's only $300 a month. Any day I don't get from his restaurant, he's making money. Man, that's a sure profitable deal for him! But hey, I'm Chinese too, aint gonna make it easy for him either! I think he's met his match that night.
So how's the Chicken Teriyaki? Well, the sauce is too heavy in flavor. Too sweet and salty, could be lighter in taste. Plus, that's nothing special. I can make it myself! So I am not all that impressed, and therefore, not going to consider his room+food combo.
Maybe he should include that on the menu, with a fine print "Availability to be determined upon request".

Usually places that try to specialise in everything aren't that good. But you can't fault them for trying... hahaha
