World of Warcraft, the Restaurant
An Anonymous Coward writes "China's online gaming themed service industry appears to be booming, riding China's fascination with online gaming all the way to the top is a Chinese restaurateur with his World of Warcraft inspired eatery." I would recommend the Critter Bites and the Haunted Herring, but would warn against the Carrion Surprise.
Haunted herring makes me scared.
Roflberry Pwncakes?
They'll eat anything that moves, and sometimes even if it doesn't .
I wonder if the sanitation is also inspired by WoW. If so, we are soooo screwed. There will be zombies everywhere.

Knowledge is power. Knowledge shared is power lost.
a pc gamer editor once said "if there's a better game then warcraft, I'll eat an orc!" Well, I guess now's your chance, its the other green meat on the menu.

Were I a server there I'd go quickly mad at the number of geeks who would come in and say:
When in a large group: The swarm is eager to feed!
When wanting more of an all you can eat item: More! I want more!
Etc...
Really, I know what I'm doing...Ohhhh, look at the shiny buttons!
I think I recall reading somewhere: "If it has four legs and isn't the table, you can eat it."

Cumberland Farms sells these. (AKA Jimmy Dean)
They're great for diets! Right mix of low-medium grade carbos, sulphur from the egg, and protein sausage packaged at 4 oz a piece so you don't overload on 17 Oz of large bad pepperoni pizza at lunch.

Would there be a goldfarming operation in the back, offering their services on occasion to select customers?
Twitter supports and protects racists - by smearing their critics with the "Hate Speech" label.
That's one way they dispose of executed dissidents.

If this opened in the US would Blizzard sue them out of existence?
I think probably.
You're probably thinking of the famous Prince Philip quote...
If it has got four legs and it is not a chair, if it has two wings and it flies but is not an aeroplane, and if it swims and is not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it.
You have to fight with opposing patrons for each time you go up for food.

wow. I can only imagine the look of abject disappointment when my gf realizes "this" is the fancy restaurant I'm taking her to.
Just because it's not the answer you wanted, doesn't mean it isn't the right answer. Because if you did disable it, it wouldn't be there in the first place, making your real question completely moot. And knowing that, but asking anyway, is pretty effin retarded.
But because I'm nice, I'll answer the real question: To inspire posts like yours, for the amusement of others.
The enemies of Democracy are
Do you have to order and eat 10 loafs of bread and 10 glasses of water before you can have a bowl of soup and some milk?
Tell that to the poison arrow frogs. (I've heard that saying too though, but I can't place it either.)
So does this mean I'll leave there with a nice stamina buff, some extra mana per 5 sec, and look like a ninja?
The big downside is that you have to kill lots of the staff to get your bill to drop.
It is by the juice of the coffee bean that thoughts acquire speed, the teeth acquire stains. The stains become a warning
Go into your profile settings, and tell it to leave out idle stories on the main page. Then stop complaining.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
Assuming this guy actually got permissions from Blizzard and they don't IRL permban him, all this guy has to do is offer an internet hotspot and he'll be China's version of McDonald's. He'd have WoW addicts in there 24/7 grubbin' and gamin'.
As a Cantonese, I think he's being too simple on his description.
Cantonese culture starts a bit more than 2000 years ago from the mix of ancient Chinese and people of the southern barbarian country(ies) (å--èS, or "Southern Yue") whose land includes Guangdong and Guangxi of today's China and northern and center part of today's Vietnam.
Those southern places are all mountains, rivers, forests, etc subtropical landscape. Hence having lots of insects. And those barbarians treat insects as a food source. So any insects that can fill their stomach (and is not harmful, of course) becomes their food, which later become one of Canontese food sources as its culture form.
So... it's easier for him to say "anything that fills stomach, except human" than trying to describe only living things with "4 legs" and "2 wings". That said, many insects or part of them are materials to make Chinese medicine. So in terms of medicine, then it's not just Cantonese, but likely the whole Chinese cultural circle (China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam).
When they mentioned theme, I was hoping that all the staff would cosplay as a WOW character or that the devoted fan would go in character. It was rather disappointing that neither was the case.
Ever since I started killing boars for their intestines, I dreamed of the day where I could taste just a slice of WoW. I just hope this restaurant follows canonical recipes.
Bear Meat + Boar Intestines + Spider Ichor = Crazy Delicious Blood Sausage
Mmm, I can smell it cooking right now.
Every day I'm so glad I quit WoW long ago... It gives me the chance to laugh at those who still take it so damn seriously... :)
My favorite version of this quote was told to me by a guy from Hong Kong:
"Anything on 4 but a table, and anything on 2 but a bicycle"
An operating system should be like a light switch... simple, effective, easy to use, and designed for everyone.
To ask a similar question, posed in a much friendlier manner: How do I keep Idle out of my Slashdot RSS feed?
The World's Worst Webcomic!
However you have to go through ten different members of the waitstaff until you find one that actually drops your meal.
...but the waiter told me I needed to level some more before I could eat it.
Don't forget anything that has wings and isn't an airplane.

The big downside is that you have to kill lots of the staff to get your bill to drop.
That only sounds bad until you realize that you were going to have to do that to pay for the meal anyhow.
You can get ten percent off by grinding rep. Of course, you have to kill six thousand members of staff at the restaurant next door for that.
> The people eat boiled cat, for chrissakes.
Why, you racist insensitive clod. How could you say such a thing! "Boiled cat" indeed. Cat is prepared in stir-fry with a garlic sauce made from garlic cloves, soy sauce and honey. After the meat is fully cooked, stir in snow peas and green onions, let simmer for a half minute and remove to platter. Serve with rat fried rice on the side.
"Boiled" indeed. Philistine.
Oliver's law of assumed responsibility: If you're seen fixing it, you will be blamed for breaking it.
Not just Chinese medicine: in GuangZho (Canton itself)I've had more than one feast over Chinese New Year that included bloodworms and water crickets that looked like cockroaches.
The restaurant itself sells (live) crocodiles as big as me, and snakes etc. It also backs onto the zoo. Coincidence? I think not...
