When we first sat down with Bob Tam of Bitter and Twisted, Emily and I were a tad concerned that he might be just a little too quiet…NOT!!! He is soft spoken, but this guy is hilarious!!! He had us in stitches and he had us enthralled. After sending me the pic and recipe, Bob texted and said, “Funny fact…it’s served at KFC’s in China and it’s really good!” That may be, but I’m crossing my chopsticks and hoping he’ll give us a taste of this next time we stop by.
