First, I overheard it at a party: “The new Chinese restaurant has robot waiters.”
I scoffed, of course, though I love me some robot movies. So, I’m intrigued. And the crazy claim happened to coincide with my curiosity about the Meet Up place, a new Chinese lunch and dinner spot in the little strip mall that time forgot near the corner of Modoc and Las Positas. The place it replaced wasn’t great, but it had a Hong Kong core and sentimental value: My late father-in-law loved it, and we had many ruminating lunches there. (Try not to think of two cows.)
That’s the robot place, someone else said.
