That's not so much a stove burner in a sink, as it's a commercial wok station. The heat used in proper wok cooking generally can't be had on stove top not made for woks.

That's right, woks need a lot of heat in a very short time, it would burn up your counter in no time.

Looks like one of those noodle vendors like they used to have in the ballpark in Albuquerque. Food was too good, so I guess they ran them out.

It was neat to watch them cooking and the fire flaring up. Maybe the team thought it was taking too much attention from the ball field?

More than likely they lost a bunch of $$ when the concession conglomerate the city hired to manage all the concessions took over and forced everyone to raise prices. Nobody wanted to pay $15 for a $2 box of noodles.

A cactus burner on high is the kind of heat you need to properly do it!

I love Chinese food and their art of cooking. Pretty sure Woks came about because fuel was not real prevalent and they needed to cook it fast?
Damn now I want Chinese food and I am in nowhere swamp land.

Wok cooking results in lots of grease, food items and water getting spilled on the floor. I don't think the standard residential kitchen has enough cockroaches to clean up the mess. Only a proper commercial Chinese kitchen has a sufficient population of cockroaches. Oh, and the DNC does too.
