Primo was NOT primo when I tried it. Way too much ultra lean capicola instead the real stuff:

Which one do you get? The Italian Diablo is my go-to if I go there. The Sharp Italian and Old Italian are also good.

It's been 3 or 4 years but the Old Itialan sounds like it was there. Whatever it was it had a few slices of salami and then all the rest was that dry, tasteless (outside of the spices), cappy.

If you ever give it another try, give the Italian Diablo a shot.

The sharp Italian is soooooo good. Best sharp prov I've had. Primos is great.

The whole concept of chain Chinese restaurants (Panda Express, P.F. Chang, etc.) just Does Not Compute for me. I mean, it's not like there aren't a billion family-run restaurants serving the same food.
You've clearly never dealt with the specificity of a pregnant woman's cravings. :lol:

Excellent

I have 2 McD's in my neighborhood, and I divide McRib runs between them so as not to raise alarms.

I had it yesterday. It’s not amazing, but it’s good. I’d rate it a 6. It does have a lot of the overly fake Liquid Smoke flavor IMO, which I can only tolerate once every few months. Makes me sick sometimes.

Very similar taste to their brisket sandwich (it’s the same toppings, they just switched out the meat). I was wary of the “ribs” being fatty and/or chewy, but they weren’t. Not dry either.

It's no different than a fast food burger. I am not looking for 'Chinese' when I go to Panda, and don't think it's appropriate to compare it to 'Lotus Garden' or 'Crown Wok' , like Taco Bell isn't the same as El Tepeyac in East Los.

P.F. Chang's is also more a 'pan-Asian' casual dining thing, where I'm not chasing any measure of authenticity. (If such a concept truly exists removed from time and place)

The only true, authentic Chinese I've had was at a Szechuan restaurant in Irvine, CA. I'm sure there are others, but your run of the mill Chinese takeout is hardly anything I've experienced in China.

Fast food Chinese is fine. Fast food Italian? Go **** yourself, Fazoli's.

By the way, Piada is delicious but I don't really consider that "Italian" food.

Piada is basically Chipotle with Italian ingredients. I like it, but certainly you're not thinking it's authentic Italian any more than you'd think Chipotle was authentic Mexican.

My wife likes the bowls but the piadas are where it's at. Get some garlic dough while you're at it.

Chinese people will tell you, there's Chinese and then there's American Chinese. American Chinese is stuff like Sweet and Sour Chicken. Authentic Chinese is more like Hot and Numbing stir-fried meat of choice. one place near by actually does this with Bullfrog. :scared:

That's the truth for most foreign cuisines that have been popularized in this country.

I mean, it's worth remembering that chicken tikka masala was invented in Scotland. So it's not an uncommon thing.

I've had it a couple times now with different KFCs and concur with the previous gentleman.
