Dude i'm this close to getting hired there at their corporate offices. The big buzz around there right now is their new Beijing Beef promotion. They tried to give me a sample but I dont eat beef...

It's not really a lie, it's sauce for duck, not sauce made of duck.

So if you were to make sauce from a duck, what would you call it?

no clue. it's a language thing, they called it a duck sauce without realising what the implication is in English. It's not called Duck Sauce in Chinese :)

Beijing Beef as well as pulling out of food courts and going to stand alone restaurants.

there is no lobster in the lobster sauce either.

proper lobster sauce does in fact involve lobster, but maybe just the shells.

ever since I ate at pei wei, I know longer eat at the panda. I'll take thai dynamite chicken over orange chicken any day when I crave Chinese/America fast food.

That's because those slacker pandas are allergic to peanuts, at least that's what I've heard.

I've never heard of any of the places you're all talking about except PF Chang's. PF Chang's has a gluten free menu so I eat there from time to time.

I've come to the conclusion that ATOT'ers have very low standards when it comes to food.

Panda Express and Sonic come immediately to mind...

pei wei is PF Chang's sister company. Kind of like a fazoli's (but nicer - real plates, silverware, etc.), you stand in line, order at the counter, get a number and put it on your table.

They have a lot of PF Chang's items, but not all. You pick your dish, then pick your meat. They also have some beer and wine. I love the place for quick chinese food.

... and what's the deal with grape nuts? Open the box, no grapes, no nuts!

Who are the ad wizards who came up with THIS one?!
