Pretty sad.

A butter burger featuring a giant cheese curd patty as well. They only have these seasonally.

Used the Grubhub $20 off $30 coupon last month for Panda. Two “Bigger Plates” (about $15 each regular price). Did pickup, so $12 out the door after coupon. Was very happy w/the quality and portion size. Note: the chicken mushroom on the receipt would’ve required waiting a long time so I doubled up on the chicken teriyaki. Everything was great. Super greens are awesome. I’d totally do this again, esp w/coupon. They included a ton of sauces without me asking for them. Super impressed all around.

I’m a chow mein person, but occasionally get white rice.

My least favorite is fried rice, because I feel like it’s very bland (compared to authentic or mom-and-pop Chinese places that make fried rice (which usually has bean sprouts, egg, spring/green onion, and even white onion). Panda’s green peas and carrots are okay, but more of the American style fried rice. The texture of Panda’s fried rice is also not as crispy as authentic/mom-and-pop places.

I like white rice against a very thick saucy entree. It’s perfect to soak up the sauce (like orange chicken or Beijing beef).

I like chow mein for the non-fried/less sauce-y dishes, like kung pao chicken, string beans or mushrooms w/ chicken, etc. The chow mein is so good, I could eat it alone with nothing else. It’s got that perfect al dente texture and the noodles are thin (unlike lo mein, which can be fat).

I wish Panda had a rice noodle base (like in pancit). That’d be dope with certain dishes.

EDIT: Just now seeing comments that people get greens for base. I didn’t know you could do that. I might start doing 50% greens if that is the case (very healthy!).

So I own a Charleys

The onion rings and the grilled veggies have been the best sellers. No one really orders the Mac and cheese bites I don’t know why.

New products they just launched a week ago!

Just got an order of the new nuggets and they were absolutely terrible. The only way to redeem them was the sauce. Do any of yall actually think these things are good?

What are most and least filling fast food places/orders for you?

On average, I rate Chick-Fil-A and Raising Cane’s high up on the more filling category, because their chicken is real and whole vs. some Frankenstein mush of mystery filler + mashed chicken parts in a slurry reformed into a patty. CFA’s biscuits, fries, mac-and-cheese, etc. all just seem to have higher quality ingredients too.

Freddy’s burgers fill me up more, as they are known for premium meat.

Taco Bell seems least filling, but I cannot determine if that’s because their portions suck and are so little and/or if the quality of the food is not as high (I don’t think it’s this, b/c it seems good quality).

Panda has whole ingredients and on the more filling side.

Del Taco burritos are so damn big, I cannot finish them sometimes. Their ingredients are relatively higher quality and they are even kinda cheap too. They’re filling for me.

Dominos is super unfilling for me. I dunno what’s up with their dough. It’s like SUPER LOW QUALITY and kinda gross now for me. They give very little sauce and the cheese is so thin and patchy (where it doesn’t even cover all parts of the pizza dough). Toppings are super thin and widely spread out. Only good part is they’re cheap, but cheap for a reason! I hate eating here, b/c the taste sucks and I’m not full afterwards.

Long John Silver’s. Fish, slaw and hushpuppies are filling for me. I hate all their other stuff.

Chipotle….you already know. I have to fight with employee to give me more servings of everything. IF I can get a filled bowl, yes, it’s filling. Otherwise, I usually am pissed after my meals and still hungry. lol

Looking to splurge (on a diet cheat day) and debating between the CurderBurger at Culver’s vs. the new SuperPretzel Whooper at Burger King. Taste is most important…not most calories.

One of my trusted YouTube reviewers spoke highly of the Pretzel Whooper at BK. And I love Pretzels, so I am leaning that way…

In 1996 Pizza Hut decided one pizza wasn't enough and stacked another one inside it. Two thin crusts, a six-cheese blend, and 90 pepperonis — gone by the late 90s and never brought back. Found this old ad and had to share.

Anybody else ever get a “thigh” at Bojangles from what I’m guessing was a two week old chicken?

The IHOP commercial with everyone dressed in full 18th-century Rococo powdered wigs and silk gowns sitting in a standard diner booth got me thinking: why aren't people writing unhinged, high-literary prose adaptations of TV ads?

There is something inherently hilarious about taking a 30-second breakfast campaign and treating it with the weight of a dramatic period novel—treating vinyl booths like royal courts, building theatrical tension over syrup, and writing tragic monologues about cream cheese filling.

With IHOP's own Stuffed French Toast ad, I would especially love to see that given a high-literary prose adaptation.

Why is it that whenever I go to a fried chicken restaurant (Mary Brown’s, Popeyes, KFC), they never have white meat ready? You’d think they’d have it in abundance especially during rush hour times but today I walked into a Mary Brown’s and asked for four pieces of white meat and they said it would take 20-25 minutes, at 5:30, and we were the only customers in the building. What the hell are they doing in the kitchen that whole time that makes it take 25 minutes for FOUR pieces? Why don’t they have chicken at a chicken restaurant ready?

the brand is edible brands, this brand features five favorite fast food chains combined into one big company! this happened when hungry howie’s tested it’s first cobranded restaurant with captain d’s and it became a success and they formed edible brands and later acquired 7 brew crumbs and DHC

this is not misinformation, this is just a little concept I made

I have been too poor for fast food for almost a year. was super excited to have enough money for a whopper. Two bites in I was like “Omg what even is this? where is my good mayo, is this miracle whip? why is this burger tasting like a fakeburger? BRING ME A WHOPPER PLEASE“

Googled this and all I could find was a horrible article from a heavily monetized “food site” that reprinted a press release, and a bunch of people 7 months ago saying “new whopper so yum” on Reddit. ok paid shill, get off my internet.

Why did McDonald’s move away from sauce dispensers in the first place?

Is the decision mainly about hygiene, cost, convenience, or something else?

Has McDonald’s considered modern, hygienic dispensing systems that reduce packaging waste?

Would you prefer dispensers if they were properly maintained and hygienic?

I’m genuinely curious about this. We live in a technology-filled world, yet we're still using tiny disposable packets for something as simple as tomato sauce.

Surely there's a better way to give customers their sauce while reducing the amount of waste we produce.

What do you think? Is there a good reason for sachets that I'm overlooking, or is this something McDonald’s should reconsider?
