RAILROAD FRIED RICE

   I dined at the Thai restaurant Sa-Way on First Avenue and East 77th Street 
last night.  It has:

RAILROAD FRIED RICE 9.95--Marinated in our own very special red sauce, with 
white meat chicken and succulent shrimp.

   I usually don't associate railroads with fine dining.  No one goes into 
the Four Seasons and asks for the "Amtrak Special."  Here are the only Google 
hits:

I grew up on what I later learned is called "railroad rice" from what was fed 
to the Chinese workers building the railroads.

Make sure the rice was cooked the day before and is cold.

Mince up a few slices of bacon.  Chop a few scallions fine and put them in a 
bowl.  Break a couple of eggs into the bowl.  Gather a few vegetables, sliced 
thin, if you have them or want them.  This is optional.

In a hot wok, render the bacon bits (cook the fat out).  With a slotted 
spoon, remove the bacon bits and reserve them.  (I put them on top of the waiting 
cold rice.)  Into the hot fat, pour the eggs beaten with scallions.  Stir 
fry/scramble.  Toss in the sliced vegetable.  (My father generally used celery or 
Chinese cabbage or bean sprouts.)  Stir fry quickly.  Toss in the cold rice and 
stirfry, breaking up the lumps.  Add the bacon bits back in, and mix all 
together.  This generally needs a lot of salt.  It's white -- no soy sauce.

My father grew up in China, going halfway through college there.  When I was 
growing up, this is what he would make for breakfast on a good Saturday 
morning.  What a lovely smell to wake up to!

BAGEL "ALL THE WAY"

   All the Way?
   At Christmas, I jingle all the way.  In that stupid Toto song from many 
years back, you can meet Rosanna (Arquette) "all the way."  But I've noticed at 
diners that you can go "all the way" with bagels or lox.  Virgins, beware!
   Didn't this used to be called "everything"?
   From the menu at the Gracie Mews Diner, 1550 First Avenue (Corner of 81st 
Street):
