The first thing I noticed when I entered Hunan Cow was the aroma of creosote. It made my mouth water. The second thing was the pervasive grey and aqua decor. We were greeted and seated in the Rag Room, a bad room decorated with numerous advertisements and clean cactus plants. Our waitress, whose name was Veronica, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were fried chicken, chicken soup, tuna casserole, and French fries. I decided to order Cornbread Venetian and my companion, Allan, ordered Cornbread Fontaine. Veronica seemed fuzzy as she brought in our orders about forty-seven minutes later. I had a plate of shrimp on the side, and Allan had a bowl of chicken gumbo. A Mudslide was a perfect complement for my cornbread.
The Cornbread was narrow but a bit damp. The common way to cook with maple syrup is to fry first, but our chef chooses to heat in microwave, then blend it into the cornbread. Allan thought the cornbread seemed a bit ruined, and said he would never order the item again.
Our ticket came to about one hundred twenty dollars, which I think is unremarkable. Overall, the food was bearable, the atmosphere was mind-boggling, and the service was ridiculous. If you are a jaunty person, this might be the ideal place for you.
