The Wheel of Fortune has a deeply-rooted connection to Greek mythology and the three women known as the Fates. Legend says when a person is born, it is Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos who are responsible for spinning his or her destiny. Wheel of Fortune (often known simply as Wheel) is an American television game show created by Merv Griffin that debuted in 1975. The show features a competition in which contestants solve word puzzles, similar to those used in Hangman, to win cash and prizes determined by spinning a giant carnival wheel. Fortune Wheel is a Cantonese dim sum restaurant located in Levittown, Nassau County that also serves Cantonese cuisine on their regular menu. Since Fortune Wheel is one of the few genuine dim sum restaurants that serve dim sum from carts, I had to go check it out.
