Thai Lotus, Reno NV
The lunch specials at Thai Lotus are such an amazing value! You get a lot of yummy food for very little. The pork had great flavor, but they could have been a bit more tender. Besides that, I had no complaints.

Briscola, Reno NV
High end my ass! This restaurant was a joke, and the food was marginal at best. The tomatoes were over ripe and over dressed. The bread was old and so dry that they disintegrated in your mouth upon contact. Gross!
Breadsticks. Complimentary
Blue fleabane flower (Erigeron sp., Asteraceae), Mount Rose Summit Trail.
Fried sticky rice dough on the outside and filled with a minced pork mixture. $0.85 each
Good Luck Dim Sum, San Francisco CA
These are a bit larger than the usual mini pork buns, and they’re delicious. The filling is perfectly meaty!
Charming house entrance, Noe Valley.
