There are 2 categories of people when it comes to General Tso's: The Casual Fan & The Loyal Soldier. Now the casual fan may not have notice. They may have stepped back and said, "Oh that's how you spell that." If they did notice, they probably chortled at my "stupidity" and boasted to all of their friends how they are always writing "General Tso's" and have never spelled it wrong. I have lost all credibility with the casual fan when it comes to my Chinese Buffet Reviews. I can live with that. These reviews aren't for the casual fan. They are for you people with your own table at the buffet. All of you people who don't have to order a drink, because the waiters and waitresses already have poured it when they saw you pull in.
Now for the Loyal Soldier. They weren't as upset by this as you might imagine. Yes, they are displeased with my hasty error, but they surely understand. It's easy to mistakenly put a "Z" in there since we all now that General Tso's Chicken derives its name from Zuo Zongtang , a Qing Dynasty general and statesman from Hunan. How many of us get to talking about the General's chicken and find our mind wondering off to the exploits of Zuo Zongtang, only to be enamored by the alliteration of Z's? We're lucky I didn't type "General Zuo's Chicken."
In Dave and Brian news, we are in the planning stages of making the first Dave and Brian Music Video. We are shooting the first weekend of December in Tennessee and it will be for "The Dork Anthem." We are very excited because it's really coming together and is going to be very professional looking. This isn't my Mom walking around with a Flip Camera pushing record when she thinks she's turning it off and then turning it off when she thinks she's recording. We have a director, cameras, a gib, and scooters. We'll post pictures and keep you all updated. Once we get this thing out we'll need your help to pass it around the Internet!
Panda Chinese Restaurant
3519 US Highway 84
Blackshear, GA 31516
On a trip from Jacksonville, Fl to Baxley, GA, Brian and I figured we'd stop somewhere for food on the road. There was nothing on the road. For 2 hours we drove and finally stumbled into the small town of Blackshear where there were the first signs of civilization. It is here we thought it might be a good idea to try out the lunch buffet being offered at the Panda Chinese Restaurant.
Presentation was not so great. There were no pictures of The Great Wall or a light up picture of a river that makes it look like it is actually flowing. There wasn't a wide selection, but your standards were available. They did have a variety of fried vegetables including cauliflower and whatever else fell into the deep-fryer.
As we were leaving to get in our car, a truck pulled up containing 2 locals who had been in the restaurant with us. The gentleman rolled down his window and what came out of his mouth can only be imagined if you saw the movie "The Waterboy" and you remember the assistant coach. I am by no means exaggerating. It was exactly the same. We think he was saying that they had good food. I'm not sure about that, but I do know that the Panda fulfilled our whole trip. The first part we were looking for food and found it. The second part sent us looking for bathrooms because of it.
