Jeremy (age 37)

Meal:  string bean chicken, sweet fire chicken, chow mein, potstickers
Rating: 3/5 stars
Commentary: The chicken at Panda Express never has that gross chicken-y flavor you can sometime get with inexpensive Chinese food. The chow mein is quite nice with their chili sauce. Solid, but didn't blow me away.

Rating: 4/5 stars

Jeremy (age 37)

Meal:  Reuben sandwich, Lay's chips, and a Pepsi
Rating: 4/5 stars
