I have Panda Express on my mind lately because I just got back from their test kitchens. I was blown away by the new things they’re developing. This is really hard because I love White Castle but I’m never around them.
When I am around one, I really go hard with White Castle. I love the chicken fried steak at Cracker Barrel. There’s so many.
If there was one, I think I’d have to say Red Lobster. Absolutely. Everybody loves Panda Exp.
