National Chinese Takeout Day 2025

    Chinese Take Out
Good Chinese Take Out is one of my weaknesses. I may not agree with their politics. I may become infuriated with their pilfering of our intellectual property. There are likely a million things I hate about China and the Chinese in general. However ...

I consume their food with considerable relish.

I dare say I like all Chinese food except for possibly for those dog and cat dishes which I have yet to gain the nerve to try.

Today is National Chinese Takeout Day.

It is held each November 5 for the enjoyment of Chinese takeout and the support of local restaurants.

I'm afraid that I'm a prisoner of my palette. So even as Happy Family and Seafood Schezwan will likely continue to be ordered by me in the near future I remain recognized when I enter the local Chinese restaurant for their take out. By the way, I also enjoy talking trash to the counter lady as well. You can call it weakness. You can call it hypocrisy. You can deride my personal nutritional choices all you want. Every now and then I intend to partake of a little Chinese takeout.

If you have a place with good Chinese takeout just let me find you and I will impart some of my hard earned retirement fundage on you and take your food home.

Happy National Chinese Takeout Day !
