The most authentic thing on the P.F. Chang's menu

Customer: "Can you tell me about the chicken flatbread? What is it?"
Server: "Its like a quesadilla, but this isn't a Mexican restaurant, so we call it a flatbread."
C: "Oh.... is it any good?"
S: "Well, all out cooks in the back are Mexican, so its probably the most authentic thing on the menu."
