Two, maybe three years ago - I can't check because the blog no longer exists - I wrote of a meal at Panda Express and mentioned that, although the restaurant had once been one of my favorites when I was a teenager, it would probably be my last time eating there.
And I meant it at the time, but should have realized that one day they would likely come out with a new dish that I wanted to try.
Which they did: Blazing Bourbon Chicken, purporting to be very spicy.
I was intrigued. So I tried it.
And liked it.
It was definitely spicy - spicier than anything I ever would have anticipated Panda releasing.
But, as you probably could have guessed, it wasn't that spicy. I have had dishes at Chinese restaurants in the SGV that made me flag down a waiter for an entire pitcher of water.
This wasn't one of them, and I will not be eating it again.
And, though I certainly have no plans to visit Panda again, I must acknowledge that I may very well eat there again one day if they come out with another dish that sounds intriguing.
