American Cafe: Where M-Dawg gets his Cobb

Compelled by the constant praise M-Dawg heaps on the place, three meals had I at American Cafe. His favorite, the Cobb salad, was a heavy hitter, the lineup including cubed chicken, sliced boiled egg, tomato, lettuce, bacon, blue cheese and black olives, among other ingredients. The spicy chicken wings were lackluster, though, and the hamburger drier than I remembered from my last visit some six months ago. But a big thumb up for the breakfast croissant with cheese (non-processed) and sides of fried potatoes, bacon and scrambled eggs. All in all, this place serves up solid food in the 35- to 40-kuai range and uses fresher ingredients than most.
