Only at Panda Express and Canto banquet type of meals. If only Needle and PRD decides to do a version of honey walnut shrimp 
I remember in the 90’s when HK places in SGV started to served this dish and I knew instantly the mainstream would love it.

call me elitist but I would be pissed if I was a guest at a canto banquet and someone ordered honey walnut shrimp. you should be ordering the seafood bird’s nest (taro).
also who cares what mainstream is doing. cook what you love cooking and set yourselves apart, that’s how needle has been killing it.

I remember this as a banquet staple for years. I guess in hindsight that means we were relatively poor.

Yeah that is elitist Mr Horse Mackrel. I am going to stuff some Panda Express orange chicken into some Jack N Box tacos and dip all of that into some ranch sauce just to spite you

To be fair, the only orange chicken worth eating is Panda Express’s, no?

Yes but the timing has to be right when it goes from wok to steam table

I’m too lazy to get my a$$ to Chaumont for the freshest croissants, so I’m gonna be too lazy to get that same a$$ to Panda Express at the right time. 
Okay, back to topic.

Honey walnut shrimp and French style beef FTW!
Those were our special occasion foods growing up.

Thatcher’s Imports will be at Taco Tuesday next week. Not sure who else is a wine person on here other than @Clayfu and not even sure if any of these are up your alley anyway.

We will be featuring a pairing and btg list from Thatcher’s Imports, with wines from Theo Dancer, Jintaro Yura, Guffens-Heynen and more. We also took it one step further. Did you miss out on Gaspard Brochet, 20 Guffens, or have yet to see a bottles of Maxime Oudiette and Philine Isabelle on a list? We are pulling some of our rarest bottle in the cellar to curate a small wine list full of gems and new discoveries ( quantities are limited:))
