Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
This weeks episode of Dining on a Dime takes host Lucas Peterson on a little trip down memory lane. Back in the early 1920s when Peterson lived in Beijing (kidding, but it was almost 20 years ago, he remembers seeing street hawkers serving jianbing in his neighborhood in Wangfujing. The jianbing is a customizable pancake, made with a wheat batter, eggs, and different sauces and toppings. Its not inaccurate to say that its something like a Chinese crepe

Whew! Now I don't have to feel like a dirty, perverted old woman for lusting after Lucas anymore. LOL! The animation in this video was cracking me up big time. Never heard nor seen of jianbing, but they look amazing! I love all the colors and combinations of what I assume are layers and layers of flavor. The beef one looks bomb! Cannot believe Lucas was vanquished to China for bad grades. LOL

The Jianbing sometimes attributed to Zhuge Liang (last name Zhuge) is actually not the same as this one. Zhuge's Jianbing is made with grain flour and very chewy. You don't add anything to it while it's being cooked, but you can wrap things in it. The jianbing guozi here is made from mung beans and very soft and is closer to a crepe.

i couldn't help but notice on the restaurant menu it says two organic cage free brown eggsBrown eggs has nothing to do with organic actually the opposite. the chickens are selected to produce brown eggs because people believe it to be more natural making it sell better. how ironic: D

Another great review of food that looks delicious, but I had never heard of. BTW, since you always order quite a number of items, do you end up sharing it after shooting with your cameraman and/or producer? I'm a big guy, but not even I could eat the amount you generally order.

Wow. If each one of those had two eggs and you at 3, that's a six-egg nosh. Dining on a Dime is watched enough that YouTube would have awarded you the cow's stomach by now; customarily given to food-show hosts so they can do their job.

I love jianbing! Go get some! And tune in next week for the next (and maybe final) episode of the SF season. But don't go anywhere, because we've got another great season coming. Thank you and I appreciate you and see you soon!

The eternal problem for English/Chinese speakers. Deciding on whether to pronounce Chinese words in chinese, or as a non-chinese speaker would in english, but ending up with a venerable tongue twister of neither option.

organic cage free brown eggs. okay, organic i get. cage free, sure. brown? why do you need to specify that? is there any nutritional benefit of brown egg? or is that a way of cooking like brown butter?

+Eater Could you confirm the account that has lucas' name on it? He has been commenting on this show for a while and im not quite sure wether he is our lucas or just a fake delusional donut. Thanks.

Jianbing looks to me like the culinary love child of a Mumbai Street Dosa and an overstuffed California style Burritto. I'll have to try my hand at it (I'm currently DIYing my Dosa technique.
