ate at Zander's House in Plano last week. the cooking is upscale Vietnamese.

all the food there is excellent. the only time i have ever encountered a crowd is friday lunch.

the wines are not selling well, so pretty much all the wines are half price. they were not particularly expensive before. they are now below shelf price.

bottle of RUTZ Dutton ranch Chard 2003, was $19.

was also pleased with a meal at Chow Thai in Addison. they serve california Thai.(sort of like california italian) not the real thing, but better.

Dallas is turning into a ghost town. many empty sites at malls, many restaurants seem to be gone. does not seem to be a need to call in advance to get seating.
