I am going to generalize here and say that everyone has a hankering for some really good bad [type of food] once in a while...

sure you know that almond chicken or sweet and sour pork isn't real chinese food... sure you know that olive garden, fazoli's, or chef boyardee isn't real italian... and of course you know that korean sushi place isn't really japanese.

pf changs, panda express, taco bell, noodles and co... they are not representative of the authentic cuisine of the culture they [loosely] represent...

but man, sometimes you just want it. regardless of its authenticity, the food still tastes good (of course that also depends on your mood and whether or not you had anything to drink) but whatever. I guess good fake food is better than crappy "authentic" food... there is the suspension of disbelief when you know the food you are getting is preprocessed and not to be mistaken for a home cooked meal. sure, there's way more sodium, trans-fat, saturated fat, calories, presevatives, etc... but who cares, because when it fills your belly, you feel happy.

I can't help it if my fast fix for rice comes in the form of fried rice and orange chicken from panda... it's fast, it's cheap, and it's really close to my apartment.

but man, do you get food coma afterwards..
