Shortly after the treasury secretary landed in Beijing last week, her delegation was spotted dining at Yi Zuo Yi Wang (In and Out). Contrary to the eatery’s English name, there are no burgers here.

Update: Janet Yellen Consumed Psychedelic Mushrooms In China: Report (Zero Hedge)
WNU Editor I had two bad food/drink experiences when I was working in China in the 1980s. I lost my sight for a day because I drank too much of a drink that is known as Baijiu. And I lost two days because of a mushroom episode of the type that the above CNN report is describing. Both experiences were very unpleasant.
