Nope. But I'm a little concerned abotu the raw chicken tongs being
used in the shrimp and the raw beef tongs being used in the pork at
CF. Call me crazy, but cross contamination is not typically a good
thing. And how about those raw eggs?

> * Almost no selection of veggies?

True, but the quality of the veggies is typically better at BH than at CF.

> * Less selection of sauces and spices?

When I have the kitchen to myself I'm more than happy to get creative
with sauces and spices. But there is such a thing as too many
selections.

> * Some random "hotness number"?

It's not that random once you figure out the system. Think of it as an
exersize in your deductive reasoning and cryptology skills. ;)

heh. Good analogy. I also like to think of it this way : When I want a
terminal, I run xterm, I do not rewrite it with alpha-blending or
transparency. If I want hot & spicy mongolian, I go to Bali Hai.

Crazy Fire is like re-writing xterm from scratch every time you need a
command prompt. Bali Hai is like patching xterm to support what you
need.

It's all the Bazzar, just different booths. Cathedral Style food
is...well, McDonalds. Always the same, but you really don't know how
it's made or where it came from....
