It keeps cutting to "VONS" when they are aren't putting the overlay on the sign. Really threw me off when they first made the switch.

I was just in London for the first time a few weeks ago and 5 minutes into walking around I SPOT OLLIE!!!! I’m so sad I didn’t say hi, but it felt like the most British thing to possibly happen to me in the first 5 minutes of exploring London. 😂 You guys are awesome.

[@arc9812]

I was lol

[@tildessmoo]

I like that Andy described Panda Express as fast food; it's actually good fast food instead of crappy Chinese food. I actually saw a video once where a bunch of old Chinese immigrants and their American grandkids tried PE, and the American-born-Chinese twenty-somethings were just comparing it to homemade Chinese food, talked about how it was nothing like _real_ Chinese food, and how terrible it was to have so much sugar and salt and fried everything and no soup. But the old people were like, "This is great! I mean, the food's okay, some of it's actually good, and the service is so fast! I'll probably go here whenever I don't feel like cooking from now on. Is it anything like Chinese food? Of course not, but this isn't China, why would it be?"

[@Jie_Hua]

yea, the buzzfeed video, that was pretty good

[@nataliagallegos7981]

That video also left an impression on me lol. It was the first time I realized some of us young or first Gen kids sometimes complain a little too much and we just need to chill and enjoy what’s in front of us 😂

[@cloudsn]

@@nataliagallegos7981 Food snobs are the worst, especially people yelling about fast food or fast casual places not being authentic. Most normal people don't think Panda Express is "real" Chinese food. I used to go there on my way home from work because I was tired and it has a drive through. It's not that deep.

[@RexZShadow]

I agree like I'm chinese and like me and my family love PE because we don't expect authentic chinese food from PE. Its american chinese food and pretty well made compared to most places. It is a really nice go to place for something comforting. The thing is so many like mom and pop Chinese restaurants basically cook the exact same thing but just worse. The american chinese food they make not good as PE and the authenic chinese food they make is bad too because making authenic chinese food is extremely hard and you need to be actual trained chief to cook them properly.

[@anthonyhca]

Its good fast food but compared to real chinese food. It sucks

[@hannahalankrita509]

Ollie saying “Missing In Action” when there wasn’t any General Tso’s Chicken was hilarious 🤣 1:23

[@emilywynstra]

Sharing a meal really is an excellent bridge for the interview style video! It makes conversation and stories happen naturally, even if it is Americanized Chinese food 🍚

[@wwiggins65]

Panda Express is actually the fast-food version of it's parent restaurant, Panda Inn, which is an amazing Chinese restaurant chain with locations in Southern California. This is why it's called, "Express". 🙂

If you really look at it, they put it in there after because when there is the close shot to the left side you can tell it isnt a J as the first letter.

I work for the company that delivers all of Panda Express products & it was my first job in High School.

All the veggies and meats are delivered 2-3 times a week and they chop and prepare all the vegetables almost every day. And they deep clean every night

Traditionally, giant pandas have represented peace and friendship and match flawlessly with Chinese values and worldview. Furthermore, the black and white colour of the panda is very consistent with the cultural beliefs of China, specifically a connection to the Taiji Yin and Yang 🐼 💙🙏🏻💙

If you're still wondering about the name, there was (and still is) a small chain of Chinese restaurants in SoCal called Panda Inn. The owners opened a quick-serve mall food court location that they called Panda Express, which then took off from there.

@@ThisGuyRides No food, once it's crossed over to another country/culture and has become popular, is authentic anymore. That's the same for American food in other parts of the world.

I know this is nowhere close to 'authentic' Chinese food, but I grew up learning to love food like this as a kid. It's not at the top of my list or anything, but man does it speak to the heart and check some nostalgia boxes for me (and I can really crush some General Tso's 😅)

[@soonlet4977]

As a chinese it also hits nostalgia because it's authentic FAST (chinese) food. It's like saying mcd is authentic american food when it's just... a quick choice meal inspired by richer or quality food. Honestly, the way some chinese foods are hitting fine dining is weird to me because the essence of most recipes is family-based/big portions so when it's portioned down or made fancy, it felt off personally. BUT that's inevitable with time as things change, so I have no place to say it's "wrong" nor do I care, I just don't enjoy it. All just to say, don't mind it's not "authentic enough" for anyone but yourself to enjoy it. Thanks for listening to my tedtalk.
