At some point Panda Express has left us all feeling, lets say, not so fresh. But when Cameron Maybin, the Padres new Center Fielder, complains of its sickening after effects and warns his twitter followers never to eat it... hilarity ensues. That's because Tom Davin, the CEO of Panda Restaurants, is a member of the Padres Ownership Group.
Hat tip and curtsy to Gaslamp Ballers Drama and Mad Villian for finding this and connecting the dots.
UPDATE: Maybin talks the talk and now walks the wok.
Man just got back on the wagon panda express was great today, now I'm ready for action.... Best oriental cuisine around... Let's go...!Cameron Maybin24

UPDATE:
Tweet from Padres' Maybin creates a stir - SignOnSanDiego.com:
"I'm on Twitter probation," Maybin said through a big smile Thursday morning at the Padres complex. "I'm hoping we can sweep that one under the rug.
"I would like to say I love Panda Express. I have been going there since I was in high school. It's the best cuisine around."
Maybin was apologetic while maintaining a sense of humor.
"I can't believe how that just took off," he said. "It went everywhere in no time flat. What a bad coincidence. Part of me was thinking pretty funny and part of me wasn't thinking. It was comical, like, really . . . "

I had Panda Express yesterday.
And it had the exact opposite effect on me. Instant hangover cure.
I need new pants.
I too had Panda Express yesterday...
In my entire Panda Express career, only deliciousness has occurred, except for the odd eggshell in the fried rice.
Greasy food and the trots DO walk down the sidewalk hand-in-hand sometimes. I feel for ya CM, we’ve all been there.

I'm a Panda Express junky.
Certain entrees have given me problems (firecracker chicken is my kryptonite), but for the most part I’ve been immune to the ill effects some people claim. I could live off of orange chicken, beef broccoli, and fried or steamed rice. Love that stuff.
This is news to me that the CEO is part of the Padres ownership group, why isn’t Panda Express at Petco yet?

They have a Panda Express at Angel Stadium
Needless to say it’s grossly overpriced and the quality of the food is pretty poor. I think it conflicts with the health conscious options they’re trying to present at PetCo.
TBD

You're right.
They wouldn’t want to send conflicting messages by offering Panda Express next to the paragon of health that is Randy Jones’ BBQ!

The only food poisoning of my life
was from Panda Express. I bought my boyfriend 3 whole portions of orange chicken. I only had one bite and puked my guts out. My boyfriend ate the whole thing, poor bastard. He never gave me details, but I’m pretty sure he was burning the candle at both ends, if you know what I mean.
I called them and argued that they should refund my money, because why should I have to pay to be poisoned? They sent me a coupon for a free meal at Panda Express.
Almost all the food there is shiny.
And not in the good Pokémon way.
They’ll probably just add a disclaimer: Not for athletes or those otherwise concerned for the wellbeing of their bodies.

Wrong...
Apples shine when they’ve had a waxy coating put on them. Generally they’re not shiny naturally.
That wax...
natural.

Good on Maybin
I don’t care if Panda’s owner is one of our owners, his product sucks. It’s the only “chinese” restaurant I’ve ever gone to where I got a piece of metal 3 inches long in my chow mien. And what did they offer me as compensation after I actually chewed on said piece of metal… nothing. Not even a replacement helping of chow mien (not that I would have eaten the crap). Should have at least offered me a free lunch or something. Classless company all around, and IMO crap to eat anyway (even without the metal in the food).
Sounds like you had a shitty experience.
Like most “fast food” chains, I think it’s safe to say YMMV. The Panda Express I frequent in Carlsbad is very clean and customer-friendly.

I gotta say...
I really like Panda Express. I hit the one at Horton Plaza once a week or so. If I had my choice between Panda Express and Pick Up Stix for Chinese fast food, Panda wins easy.
I agree with this.
The PE over PUS, not the really liking part, though.

Howzabout
not eating PE because it’s all fried crap with goopy high fructose corn syrup covering it? I’m not Asian and it offends my Asianness.
Agreed on that.

You know, because of this
Maybin’s gonna have to do an ad with Panda Express and say how much he loves the food in order to get back on Tom Davin’s good graces.

Something tells me
Maybin would have absolutely no problem becoming the spokesperson for Panda if the price is right. And I think that commercial could rival Aki’s Corky’s pest control…
Maybin's Awesome
The guy is funny and a free spirit. Loved his comment at FanFest when they were talking to the Padres OF, and the subject shifted to whether getting drafted out of high school to play ball or going to college was the better move, and Will Venable talked about how great it was to attend Princeton and get an Ivy League education. The moderator then tried to balance out the other choice, by moving to Maybin to assert the positives about going from high school to minor league ball, and Maybin said something like, “Well, not all of us can get into Princeton, but if I could’ve, I’d probably have taken that too.”
Very refreshing, off the cuff, honest. If he can raise that lifetime OBA about fifty points and play stellar CF, he’ll be my favorite player.
Deadspin
I emailed the link to this story to Deadspin a few minutes after jbox posted it. They finally did something with it this morning.
The bad part is the fact that they linked Hardball Talk instead of The GLB. Horseshit.
And while I’m at it…the Gawker redesign SUCKS.
Uh...the GLB Link is the first one under the story

You know what's funny
Over here we call food with Asian bases, "Chinese Food’ or “Japanese Food,” etc… But they don’t call things that have an American base like burgers and fries “American Food”… I found that odd even when I visited Beijing and went to McDonald’s.
I believe oriental is an outdated term
nowadays they prefer to be called ‘AZN’

This may be just Cam's FIRST gastronomic surprise.
I don’t know what he was eating in south Florida or the Carolinas where he grew up, but because most San Diegans came from somewhere else and brought their cuisine with them, there’s hella lot of “exotic” foods available here. San Frisco may have $$$ snooty places with Michelin stars, but San Diego has variety like nobody’s business. If Cam’s only exposure to Mexican food alone was Taco Bell, he’s in for a BIG surprise.
