We've secretly replaced the authentic Chinese food they usually serve with Folger's Crystals

Did you know that for the right price, Myers + Chang will let you take over part of the kitchen for the night and serve frozen dinners to unsuspecting diners? Granted, diners who were there for an event by a blog marketing network, which was marketing some line of frozen Chinese-ish entrees, as opposed to people just off the street.

as opposed to the froze, pre-fab fare they're usually dishing out? Quel surprise!

Never mind!!!

Misread. Sorry. Didn't mean Myers+Chang. Not frozen food there. I love their menu and tasty, tasty drinks. Thinking of another place with giant horses out front and flavorless iceberg lettuce "wraps" inside.

Could only mean P.F.Chang's. They are a chain that has a location in the Pru.

Frozen food? I'd be pissed

Allowing frozen food for whatever reason into Myers + Chang's kitchen, especially without disclosing it to unsuspecting diners first, is a terrible, terrible idea. A PR fiasco in the making. WTF were they thinking?

The deal

The people served the frozen food (some only after an hour because the kitchen didn't have a large enough microwave) were all members of something called MyBlogSpark:

The network provides "Sparks" of information directly to its members from some of the best known consumer brands in the country.

So they get free stuff in exchange for writing about it. No real people were harmed in the filming of this commercial.

Nothing harmed except

Nothing harmed except journalistic integrity.

The frozen food might have been an improvement....
