My sister eats at the Dynasty almost daily. I told her the bad news and she was shocked. She said it's always been a top-notch family restaurant.
I have been there several times and everything has always been good.
ReplyDeleteThat's the REAL Chinese Laundry?
ReplyDeleteIs "Dynasty" Chinese or Mexican food?
ReplyDeleteI was never fully informed of the vast array of "sides" I could choose from.
ReplyDeleteThey have been there for a long time. From what I've read.... they are alleging that the restaurant, as well as vehicles and other property, were purchased with drug money. Hmmm. Took them this long to stop the potential drug trafficking in our town?
Toad, it is/was? a Greek family style menu.
It's been under investigation since 2008. Innocent until proven guilty, but I don't think that law enforcement is going to throw away four years of man hours on a nothing case. Indeed, why did it take so long?
ReplyDeleteToo bad all the way around, from the owners to the workers to the families to the customers. What a mess.
Don't always beleive what the media says! The restraunt is still being ran by the owners,as of 3/2/2013! I was there I know!!
DeleteOH, Another words, It has a menu of 50 pages?
ReplyDeletePeople don't always beleive what you hear or read, If its so bad like the media says, then why are the owners running the restraunt still? I'm just sayn!!!
ReplyDeleteIts hard to believe the feds would waste 4 years of time and effort if they didn't have a solid case. I feel bad for their kids. 21 people died in Racine County last year of drug overdoses. 58 over-dosers were revived with Narcan. I cannot patronize a business associated with illicit drugs. Drugs destroy lives and break down families. Drug abuse knows no boundaries of race, class, or anything.
