I can't stop clucking about the General Tso's chicken at Wild Rice. I never used to be a fan; my husband could order it knowing that my fork wouldn't venture into his dish. But that was before I tasted the Wild Rice version: succulent white-meat chicken, battered and cooked to perfection, then topped with a tangy sweet-sour sauce. All this, atop a bed of crispy noodles (at least that's what I think they are), which ties everything together with a satisfying crunch. What I once thought of as a dish made up of fatty, fried chicken parts has been transformed!

I've thought about ordering two platters of General Tso's whenever we visit the restaurant. But for the sake of sharing, I usually go for chicken and string beans in garlic sauce. It is delicious, but for one thing—it's not General Tso's. Oh, and their brown rice? Just order it. You'll see.

Visit for the food, for the friendly staff and for the fun of it.
