As they begin their taste test, Josh introduces his first dish: Orange Chicken Parmesan. It's an ingenious fusion inspired by Panda Express’s famous orange chicken and the classic Italian chicken parmesan. While the origins of chicken parmesan remain murky, Josh notes the well-documented invention of orange chicken at Panda Express in 1987, created by Chef Andy Rao. The two explore their childhood experiences with these dishes, revealing how flavors shaped their tastes and culinary identities.
