The King is gone, but the fries still suck

Same here with the bonus that our KFC/LJS doesn't have grilled chicken, either. The kitchen is too small, from what I've been told. Wedges were available for a short period of time here last year. But they'll let you sub a KFC side when you order an LJS combo and I've seen people ask for green beans, corn or mashed potatoes because they don't want near the fries.

 

They need a little zombie magic to pull that off.

Rotten is an overrated hack anyway.

 

Chick-fil-A's breakfast "minis," which are a 3-pack of chicken nuggets on buttery, bite-sized yeast rolls, are even better. So I guess they would be like getting blown while your team is pitching a no-hitter in Game 7 of the World Series.

I don't have the imagination to construct a sex/sports metaphor for their chicken, egg and cheese bagels.

 

Something about that just doesn't sound right. Gives a whole different meaning to sacred cow.

 

Gee, no wonder BK is so popular in Oklahoma. :

 

Not to beat on the KFC pinata some more, but I just watched one of their commercials. They talk about how they have certified cooks (or something to that extent) at every one of their restaurants.

Then they pan to a scene where someone who's either a homeless drifter or a halfway house resident is mixing raw chicken in the flour and herbs and spices IN HIS BARE HANDS!

Seriously, I know fast food dives are germ-infested dens of hell, but KFC thinks showing that will make me want their chicken? Really?

 

If he's wearing gloves, how are the fecal bacteria and Salmonella supposed to cross-mutate?

 

At the closest BK to me, there's a he/she/it of undetermined gender working the counter. I seriously have a hard time telling how old this late-50 something is. Am pretty sure it's female, but I can't tell.
The name on the tag? Chris.

 

I've worked in multiple food establishments and rarely have I seen cooks wearing gloves.

 

We never wore them when I worked at BK in high school (decades ago, granted). We did put a live earthworm in a microwave, if that tells you anything.

 

Actually, the health units around here say gloves are less sanitary than hands, so maybe that's the case in your areas too.

Personally, I liked the new BK fries more than McDonalds when they came out - been years since I've had them since we don't have a lot of BKs near here - but they could be different in Canada than the States.

 

God Save The King?
