1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

It was pretty good actually

 

It supposedly is one step above Panda Express from what I hear.

 

It's not the bees knees or anything but the Mongolian beef is solid and the chicken lettuce wraps are good. The one in Tampa airport had the best Mule's pre-covid. Not no mo though.

 

Saw PF Chang. Registered Panda Express. PF Chang is Peter Chang’s chain?

 

Panda express is definitely gross.

 

I think @Azblue told me he eats there.

 

I’m not sure myself. I’ve never been there; only heard about it. Their website says the following:

“P.F. Chang’s was conceived and developed by Paul Fleming (P.F.) and Philip Chiang (Chang) so both names were incorporated into the name of the concept”.

 

Ah, I thought it was this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Chang_(chef)

He opened Tasty China which had, for the longest time, been one of the only reliable places to get authentic Szechuan food in ATL that wasn't on Buford Hwy. Then Jia opened up, a sister restaurant, bringing it into the city. They recently closed all the peripheral Tasty China locations near Dobbs AFB and opened one in a new location and it's not quite the same. And none of the original workers appear to work at the new place, almost as if something got sold out. Some shared menu items from prior places but it tasted ... different.

 

I thought we had a discussion about why would anyone goto Panda Express if your town or city has authentic Chinese? Similar to going to Taco Bell in Texas when authentic Mexican restaurant is a stones throw away.

Somehow I thought you mentioned you went there? Maybe it was a dream. Haha

 

Is Texas known for Mexican food?

 

Time. sometimes you just need a quick in and out, no time to sit and be waited on. I like Panda though. And Taco Bell. All fast food really. I eat like a raccoon.

 

I don’t know. The guys I worked from there always wanted a $3-5 quesadilla or burrito lunch with free iced tea come lunch time.

 

FTFY

 

TWSS

 

Uhhh, yeah. TX is like 30% Mexican or something. Come by sometime and I'll get you the best tacos you've ever had.

 

7 layer burrito helps me lay 7 layers in the bowl.

 

That’s a tall order to fill

 

Are we talking about tacos, or your bunghole?

 

We’ve got options here…….

Both?

 

Open face burrito, that made me chuckle

 

We have a shit ton of places here that I can't go to. I have to bring my Spanish speaking friends. Absolutely phenomenal straight up Mexican food; no Tex-Mex in sight. But yeah, we do have a lot of Tex-Mex too.

I got $10 on it if you ever swing through here and I ever swing through there.

 

Hmmmm. They're street tacos, so baby open face burritos?

 

23 miles!? I don't even think amarillo is 15 miles at it's widest point. But I'm down. I'd love to visit that shit.

 

REAL TACOS DON'T HAVE HARD SHELLS!
