CNN: 50 best Chinese Restaurants in the US

CNN has a fun listing of what they consider the best Chinese Restaurants in the US. The two they picked for my area, Utah, are certainly good choices.  But Red Maple is no longer at that location as they had an oil fire that ruined the kitchen.

They're supposed to be re-opening in a new location soon out in Taylorsville. Originally, they were supposed to open in January, but they're still not open yet.

There have been some who disagree that Red Maple is particularly good. Lisa Dang's blog has a pointed critique with some valid points.  And I think they're sloppy with too much oil in many of their stir fries, but Red Maple is better than most of the other Chinese places in Salt Lake City.

I look forward to their re-opening and need to give the Golden Dragon's dim sum a try.
