Bike: Special/combo fried rice with shrimp, pork, and chicken.
Commerce: Kung Pao chicken
Hollywood Park: Chinese chicken salad, or nothing. Their food sucks.
Commerce makes a pretty good pizza.

I like the special fried rice at the Commerce. Also, can't go wrong with a pineapple plate.
Korean dumplings at Commerce. Get them. And then get them again.

At Hollywood Park the top section regulars go for number 276, a sort of Chinese salad with beef and shrimp. They used to go for a few other things, but they were taken off the menu.
At the Bike try the Persian chicken kabobs. I'd get this three times per week when I worked there and was only disappointed once.
At the Commerce I love the Orange Roughy.
Don't forget Hawaiian Gardens. The pepper steak is great. I also got 13 and then 12 decent sized shrimp back to back in the Tom Yum Goon (sp?), a Thai soup.

At the Commerce, I eat the following things:
Scrambled eggs w/ wheat toast.
Korean potstickers. They come from a bag, so they can't screw it up.
Potato chips. They are homemade and quite tasty.
Anything else and you're really gambling.

Bike: Any of the Korean boxes
Commerce: House special chow mein, chicken kabobs - includes rice, bread, roasted tomato, onion, & bell pepper, cucumber salad, hummus, some kind of yougurt stuff,... galbi, shrimp scampi with white wine sauce & pasta. Oh yeah, the banana split is very good as well.

Commerce: Chicken Kabobs or the Halibut.
Hollywood Park: Taco Bell.
Anything that you actually have to use utensils to eat. Nothing makes me want to take a break from the table more to see a greasy smelly old guy with ranch sauce on his hands sitting across from me (this seems to apply especially at Hollywood Park).

Commerce makes good expensive [censored] that you get for free. I tried swordfish for the first time in my life ever there. I /images/graemlins/heart.gif free food.
There are other cardrooms in LA? Could've fooled me.

Tonight I rediscovered the glorious joy of the spicy Buffalo wing-dings at Commerce. Holy Jesus this is magical food. And free! (at 20/40)

Okay, let me rephrase that. Good expensive [censored] for tableside service at a cardroom. Not for El Diablo's $100/plate SF dinners.
But it is pretty decent $15/plate stuff for free. I've never had anything there that made me want to kill myself after eating. Expensive was probably the wrong word.

I would never even consider going to a restaurant that charged $15/plate for most of the crap there. Conmerce food sucks so bad they should be paying YOU to eat it. I far prefer the food at Artichoke Joe's to Commerce.

Personally from what I've eaten at Commerce, I don't think the food's that bad. What items on the Commerce taste like [censored]? Tell me and I won't ever order it, I guess.

I'm sorry that you haven't ever had good food. 'Tis a shame, because there are lots of great places, even in San Jose. Hell, I feel so sorry for you that I may take you to dinner sometime.

I almost put the same quote in about the payment for food part in my original post. I still will never forget the conversation we had before your first trip to the Commerce.
You: So you get free food in the top section, huh?
Me: I'm not sure which part of this claim is less true. The "Free" (you pay for it later, for sure) or the "food."
You: How is it for cardroom food?
Me: Why don't you try it out and let me know.
-------------
Leaving the joint 48 hours later:
You: That sh!t was nasty. You were right, let us never speak of this again.
Me: OK.

snobs.
at the commerce, if you get up from the table to go for a dinner brake, if you tell the floor-man, he allow you 45 minutes or more. so, mike and i tell jack we're going to leave to get something to eat. he says ok. we drive over to the bike to eat. some of the other players overheard us talking before we left and they told jack where we went and he picked us up.
actually the commerce used to have good food back before they built the hotel and expanded. they had this good asian seafood dish. i can't remember what it was called.

I have problems with table spacing and a few other minor things at Commerce but I've enjoyed nine out of the last ten meals I've had there (all comped BTW). The one meal I didn't enjoy may have been because I was stuck. Some of you guys are spoiled or just plain "nitty" when it comes to casino food.

PS to Gabe: You may be the biggest food nit I've ever known. You've pushed away more really good food the three or four times we've been out with other 2+2 types than I have in a lifetime. Didn't your parents tell you about the starving kids in India?
