2011-01-07 20:53:46 Ahhh... the China Szechwan! I worked there during my college years (UCSC, early 80's) first as a busboy, and eventually I had the proud distinction for being their 1st, non-family, non-chinese, Waiter! (OK..."Food Server"). I still search for Szechwan food as good as what they offered there daily, to no avail. Around the corner from the Catalyst night club/concert venue - we saw more than our share of celebs, post and pre rock stars, but what I remember the most is the family who operated this unique eatery, and of course the food. —71.104.163.148
