9. Chinese take out

It's from a place called Don Lee in Coronado, Panama. We placed our order of wonton soup, egg rolls, lo mein and vegetable fried rice at the counter. The clerk directed us to a specific table. Five minutes later, a robot playing badly imitated Asian music rolled over with our order. For me, that was a first!

The food was pretty good and we gave it a B+. Too much food so we'll have snacks for later.

When I was a kid growing up outside Chicago, my dad would take me to a diner where we would sit at the counter. When our order was ready, the plates arrived on the flat cars of a Lionel train set! The tracks came out of the kitchen then down the counter before returning to the kitchen. I guess the robot is the 21st century version!
