SIDE NOTE: The Dragon and Phoenix are two of the most powerful of the four Chinese celestial animals. Dragon is "yang" while Phoenix is "yin", and they complement each other in creating yin-yang balance. Originally in this case, for serving perfect meals of quality in mid century American restaurants!
