chinese restaurant syndrome

Also called monosodium glutamate symptom complex, is a collection of symptoms which may include headache, flushing, sweating, and a sensation of pressure in the mouth or face. It is commonly believed that monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the cause, but repeated scientific studies have shown no link.

I went to Ming Kui Lau and my server's name was Tony. No, seriously! It said that on his name tag! I mean yeah, it's probably not his real name, but his Chinese Restaurant name was Tony. Good guy, Tony...
