Fans will have the opportunity to participate in the restaurant’s interactive “Hot OC Takes” challenge, where they’ll sample Hot Orange Chicken and ask three-time All-Pro Sewell rapid-fire questions.
Participants will receive a pre-signed autograph from Sewell while supplies last.
Guests will also be able to take photos with Sewell and Panda Express mascot Pei Pei and spin a prize wheel for a chance to win Panda Express-branded giveaways.
Throughout the event, customers who purchase a two-item Panda Plate featuring Hot Orange Chicken will receive a $15 “Be My Guest” promotional card for a future visit, while supplies last.
Hot Orange Chicken, available for a limited time this summer, features six times as many crushed chilies as Panda Express’ Original Orange Chicken, offering a sweeter, spicier version of the chain’s signature dish.
Guests can also pair the limited-time entree with other menu favorites, including Honey Walnut Shrimp and Kung Pao Chicken.
The event is free to attend, though food purchases are required for select promotions.
Organizers encourage fans to arrive early, as autographs and promotional items will be available only while supplies last.
