Lol, if you saw some of these places that they served food out of you wouldn't be saying tuxedo and monocle wearing arrogant asses. I guess american chinese food is just prepared differently down here in nola, because the few things I've tried from panda express were just void of flavor.
Fuck I want some lo mein now.

Easy now. The vast majority of taquerias are way better than Chipotle
Chinese food on the other hand is a totally different story. I live only a couple blocks from Chinatown and I've been to a few of the joints and they all suck balls. Mom & pop Chinese restaurants are disgusting and low quality. Honestly, my favorite "Chinese" restaurant is probably PF Chang's. Panda Express is pretty disgusting, but I would say it's better than your typical hole-in-the-wall Chinese joint.

How much did you have leftover though? Don't know if this is a local thing or just chinese thing in general, but most chinese places down here give you ridiculous entree serving sizes, you either split one or its two meals.

You probably think a single Chipotle burrito is also a filling meal.
Yeah, Chinese food can be pretty damn expensive, which is surprising because it's largely disgusting slop covered in brown sauce.

TBH, I've never had chipotle before, I didn't even think we had one until I just googled it, its about 20m from me, guess I'll have to try it next time I'm over that way and see what the fuss is all about.
Ever been to an Izzo's illegal burrito? The last couple of bites are a struggle on their "medium" sized burrito for me.

I can't imagine you have shitty Chinese food in Chinatown in San Francisco if you still live there. The Chinese restaurants in Chicago's Chinatown are all pretty amazing compared to #1 Chop Suey shit you see in strip malls. Even when they get your order wrong because they barely speak english, that food is 1000 times better than anything I've ever had from a mom and pop store.

Chipotle burritos are usually around 1,000 calories, so the vast majority of humanity get filled up by one. McCheese is on a whole 'notha level.

We didn't have leftovers of anything worth any value. Sure we had loads of lo-mein left but who cares about that shit. THE MOTHERFUCKIN CHICKEN FINGERS AND SPARE RIBS WERE ALL GONE.

I'd just like to point out that the number of calories in something has no (or very little) effect on how filling it is.

I always wondered if I was a mutant because I can eat so much food and never feel full. I watched an infomercial where a guy said it was a medical condition and there was some drug to cure it - some medical condition where you never feel full. I've never met another like me until I met McCheese. Sure, I never ate cold pizza rolls and dipped them in sauce like chips, but I feel like we're much the same.

For half this week I've subsisted on nothing but lasagna and dill pickles. I had lasagna for my birthday at a restaurant on Sunday and got one to-go for dinner the next day. However, on the way home my friend's wife called me up and said she made me a 15x10 pan of lasagna for my birthday present, so I picked that up, cooked it, and ate that on Monday and Tuesday (the to-go lasagna from the restaurant didn't make it past Sunday night - that was my 2nd dinner at like 10pm). Yesterday morning I was feeling hungry but I didn't have time to cook the last big chunk of lasagna, so I ate it cold right out of the fridge. It was still fucking delicious.
Now I'm a bit sad that I have no more lasagna, but on the flip side I was probably heading towards a heart attack.

I feel like most Mom and Pop Chinese places I have been to are better than Panda Express. That place blows. Almost all hole in the wall taquerias are better and cheaper than Chipotle as well. Y'all white people are just too prissy to eat there. I consider it a good sign if I go into a taqueria and there is Mexican pro wrestling on the TV and radishes on the salsa bar. You know they are going to have refried beans with lard in them and in general the shit is going to be the real deal.

I mean the chinese thing down here is akin to the long john silver's discussion we had a little while ago. While ljs isn't bad, why the fuck would you eat at ljs if you're in new orleans? There is no reason for me to eat at panda express because I'm sure there are at least a dozen chinese places in a 3 mile radius that are better and cheaper.
Chinese places are more abundant than seafood places down here, or in some cases are one in the same.

Fair enough, but a packed Chipotle burrito is pretty filling. Could I eat two? Yeah. Would it be a good idea? No.

Chinese food in my experience is really something where you get what you pay for. I've mentioned before somewhere but there's 3 local places we order from occasionally. Cheap one that delivers almost instantly, it's seriously like 15 minutes from phone call to doorbell. Clearly keeping food warm all day and just ready to ship it out. It's shitty but it's fast and cheap and really even shitty Chinese is still good. The medium price one is slower but tastier. The expensive one is slow as fuck(relatively) and delicious and fresh made.
I usually order the cheap one. Because I'm cheap and they throw in free eggrolls and shit if they recognize you as a regular.
Also, in case anyone was still wondering, McCheese is a disgusting landfill of a human being. Take his opinions with a grain of salt. Or in his case with a gallon of liquified American Cheese.

Like I said a few pages back... My favorite taco place is a truck right off the interstate that wrecks my stomach but it tastes so damn good I don't give a fuck and will continue to eat a burrito and a taco until either I die or they die (which wont happen since they've basically turned into a chain around Tampa).
