    “Temporarily closes” may have been a better headline.

    I thought it meant they were shutting for good, which would be pretty ridiculous.

    An appropriate response if they want to repair their image. If cleanliness got that bad at even one of their restaurants then that means there’s at least a few more that aren’t that far behind.

    I liked that there was a full-page Panda Express ad in the middle of a story about vermin in food.

      People don’t go there for amazing food, they go to get an extra large beef rice bowl, salad, and a cup of miso soup in under 5 minutes for 7 bucks

        7 dollars for rice, lettuce, mostly water, and maybe a 1/4 pound of beef?

        I jest. Merely commenting on how all restaurants are scams if you’re looking for a good deal.

        Do your cooking at home, people. It’s faster, easier, cheaper, and healthier to just make food in the oven than it is to drive to a restaurant or, god forbid, use a delivery app.

        Open your minds. Experiment. Eating doesn’t have to be something you show off to your peers.

        Need protein? https://www.walmart.com/ip/Marketside-Cheddar-Bratwurst-5-Links-1-lb-3-oz-Fresh/5113233441

        $4 gets you a little over a pound of bratwurst. Bake it in your oven, put it in a tortilla with a slice of American cheese.

        You now have 19g of protein and ~400 calories for $1.

        Add fries to the oven and you almost have a complete meal. Just need a veggie, like broccoli.

            2… hours? My oven is pretty weak, but they’re ready in 35 minutes if I include fries. The fries take longer.

            Compared to getting in my car and waiting in line, it’s about the same time. The real benefit though comes from the fact that I don’t have to tend to it constantly. While I’m getting food at a restaurant, I can’t be doing something else.

            Seriously, give it a shot. You may be surprised.

            If that’s too much for you, you can make your own meatball subs. I can give instructions if you’re interested, but it’s pretty easy to figure out how. You can use your microwave, too. It’s much faster.

        yeah i mean i used to eat there, and similar places. a bit of a sad vibe. maybe tasted better to locals. also, it was really long ago, but i feel like the word ‘salad’ is a bit of an overstatement
