Over 10 years ago I wrote:
You people know I loves me some egg foo young (prolly why I'm still not fitting into my Fashion Herald skinny jeans.) But I never seem to know anybody else that even knows what it is, much less eats it. Matter of fact, the only other person I've even seen eat it is Brothatime!!
But just now on the classic episode of All in the Family, the one with the flashback to when Archie met Meathead, they're having Chinese food pre-flashback, and they whip out some egg foo young. It's the only instance I've ever even heard it referred to on tv. Is egg foo young actually some sort of a retro dish from the 70's? Is that why nobody else eats it? Is that why I still love Joy Garden, cause it looks like it's 1972?
I'm watching the same episode right now and realize Mike's eating his egg foo young without gravy and now I feel vindicated in calling him a monster. I mean, good god, ya'll.
