I discovered that it's not just tourist chinese restaurants that do this!

I live right in chinatown, and my inlaws are all chinese. And we eat at some pretty sketchy places where they can get the best stinky-fish pot and argue about who's chicken feet are better.

When we go, my mother-in-law will get the menu (it used to be her husband before he died) and order for everyone. We don't really get a say.

When I used to go to the same restaurant with non-chinese friends, we all get menus with individual plates and I have to ask for the family menu.

Now that they all know me, when I'm there with non-chinese friends, they automatically give me the family menu and I get to ignore everyone else at the table.

then again.... the check also goes to me. :)
