	Taste: Dim sum with Bud
		NEW YORK -- A food outing with Calvin Trillin, the man who writes mouthwatering articles for the New Yorker, had been a fantasy of mine ever since I heard him on the Tonight Show describing taking out-of-town guests to Chinatown to eat dim sum and play tic-tac-toe with a chicken.
		Trillin took us by there anyway, crossing Houston, once the demarcation line between the Italians and the Irish, to Sullivan Street, where I pondered the rather redundant words on the cheese shop's window: cheese, spaghetti and mozzarelle.
		The waiters at Triple Eight Palace grinned at Trillin, obviously a regular, and led us to three round tables that soon were laden with choi dumplings ("My daughters call them hockey pucks," said Trillin), taro cakes, greens that looked suspiciously like those in the "buns that foreign devils use" and shrimp dumplings.
