Skinny: Even if you're no fan of green eggs and ham, you should try Yin Yankee's green potatoes. Standing in line, you won't quite anticipate the inevitable runny nose that accompanies this dish. If you enjoy wasabi, you'll love these. Sadly, the spicy flavor set our sinuses to howling. Served warm and fluffy, this dish really is something out of the ordinary. Adding to our snacking experience, the ever-friendly staff joked and laughed at our discomfort. Be warned, if you do not know what wasabi is, do not introduce yourself to the flavor with this dish. We discovered clumps of wasabi that weren't stirred in completely. Luckily, the provided ginger root seemed to calm our stomachs. Add a bit of culture to your life and eat your green spuds with chop sticks at Yin Yankee.—Laura Duffy
