We sat at the bar at a local brewery for a couple drinks. There’s a Chinese fast food place in the same shopping plaza. I ordered bourbon chicken for Mrs BV and a general Tso’s chicken for me. Got them home and they’re virtually indistinguishable. One was breaded, the other was not. Same red color. Same taste. Same pork fried rice, same broccoli.

turkey taco night
I was full from my luncheon so I ate a little. I still want to eat my cakes from Saturday.
Sysco ftw
i haven’t ever seen bourbon chicken at a Chinese restaurant. Does panda have it?
how are you able to drink alcohol and then drive home? No dui for you?
I really love getting wasted but like in Roger waters’ song 4 minutes, “you swear to yourself, you’ll never drink and drive”
so I need a driver else lyft-uber-taxi ftw.

Yes, the food was generic crap. All I really wanted was some salty rice and an egg roll. I shouldn’t have bothered with the main.

Just keep in mind, bourbon chicken isn't a chinese dish. 
up here I believe it's usually served in those food court settings... Caribbean related usually. Never saw it anywhere else.

It's not authentic Chinese, but I think it's a pretty common dish at Americanized Chinese spots and at food courts. My favorite Chicago food board had a long thread on it.

one of these days I'll have to try it. I only know about it because when it got busy, my team and I would take turns running to the food court downstairs and pick up our collective orders and one of my teammates would insist on getting it. I've changed jobs since then but I still see it in food courts (well, before the pandemic).Lately I've more been hankering for uyghur food, especially their skewers, but most of the restaurants I know of have permanently shut down.

Years ago, there was a chain in the food courts here in Pennsylvania called Bourbon Chicken. As I recall it was all Cajun types of food including jambalaya and gumbo, plus the namesake bourbon chicken. I don’t think that this chain still exists.

edited to add: I read 2 out of 3 pages and I must say there’s no snark like Chicago snark. Also the OP reminds me of someone here.
