The current issue of Saveur magazine (March '13) has a story we wrote about some of the culinary wonders of Fall River, Massachusetts, many of which we were introduced to by Ayersian (1/2 of whom you see above, next to Sue, waitress at Mee Sum Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge). Sue was explaining that some old timers ask to get their chow mein sandwich wrapped in wax paper and actually eat it out of hand.

To drink with a chow mein sandwich? At Mee Sum, there can be only one place to seek the answer -- the roster of exotic Polynesian potations. The menu promises that this one, Dr. Ming, will "spin you to the island of Tahiti."
