. "Chuck and Larry talked me into their Friday afternoon ritual of expressing a Panda. Er.. of Panda Express. I was secretly amused by the message on my cup that becked me to believe that orange chicken was truly a Panda Express \"original.\" I mean, I haven't exactly done hard research on the subject, but I'm pretty sure there is exactly nothing original about their particular brand of super americanized \"chinese\" fast food.\n\nThe overall blandness of the place matches well with their food. Even dishes you would think would be spicy and exciting somehow manage to be tame and underflavored. That's ok though, sometimes blandness can have a certain charm to it. At least you know what you're getting into. And the portions are plentiful. And by plentiful I mean holy crap, what kind of a pig am I that I was able to eat most of it?\n\nIt's true what they say though. In two hours, I'll be hungry again, and I when I am, it's a pretty sure bet that I won't be thinking of Panda Express."^^ . "0"^^ . "3"^^ . "1"^^ . . "2007-11-30T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . .
