Lee Ho Fook's in London

This is the restaurant in London's Chinatown made famous by Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London". It's at 15-16 Gerrard Street, W1D 6JE.

Theirs is the Chinese menu to carry in your hand while walking through the streets of Soho in the rain.

Many of Warren Zevon's live shows can be downloaded from archive.org. These are legitimate downloads with full permission, not bootlegs.

And here is the beef section of the menu — click here or on the picture for a much larger view.

At first it would appear that there is no beef chow mein, as the beef section lists only:

• Stir fried beef fillet with black pepper sauce
• Stir fried beef fillet with Mandarin sauce
• Grilled fillet of beef with onion
• Szechuan crispy shredded beef with chili
• Stir fried beef with black bean sauce
• Stir fried beef with ginger and spring onion

But they do have beef chow mein! It's listed under "Noodles And Rice".

Then you find that the London telephone directory doesn't list a Trader Vic's lounge! But it's there, in the London Hilton on 22 Park Lane.

If you want to run amuck in Kent, frequent rail service from Waterloo Station connects throughout the southeast of Britain.
