New Long Wongs @ The Firehouse

This week's issue of the New Times has a write up on the grand opening of the new Long Wongs on Apache.

This is one in a succession of positive press aimed at the restaurant. By all accounts I don't believe that those associated with the real Long Wongs in Tempe (the long gone Long Wongs on Mill) are too happy about the Firehouse location trading on the old Wongs' reputation. So reading the New Times suggestion that is going to be the new hang for the likes of Truckers On Speed, Los Guys and Gloritone makes me think that the New Times writers are out of the loop with what is going on. For my money, all bands are more likely to be found playing at the new Teakwoods in Phoenix. As a matter of fact, I've already seen Los Guys play there twice.

It's annoying too, since (and maybe I've just missed it) I haven't seen the New Times giving Teakwoods write ups, which is clearly the cool place to be if you're into the old Mill Avenue scene. It might not be called "Long Wongs", and it might not be in Tempe, but Teakwoods is everything that the new Long Wongs is claiming to be, and the New Times is giving it props for. Sad.
