    Zaxbys gets my vote for best chicken. Nothing but breast meat strips. KFC is highly overrated.

          Why punish yourself that often?

            KFC is animal cruelty with a side order of salmonella, it is possibly the most vile fast food on the planet.
            i don't know about the rest of the world, but here in the UK loads of shops have been done for their lack of food hygiene, and they have also been known to use chicken that is several days old and sometimes not even kept refrigerated

              After being raised by a mother who could actually cook, there is not a lot of restaurant food that impresses me. When I say cook, I mean from scratch. Using fruit to make a pie, not a can of pie filling.

              Add to that the fact that for a couple of years I did commercial kitchen repair in a lot of restaurants and country clubs in Pinehurst. The dirtiest nastiest thing in any food place is the ice machine. They do not have them serviced until they quit working. The main reason they quit is they are full of mold and sludge. I have pulled handfuls of black moldy sludge out of machines in some of the cleanest kitchens you have ever seen. If you get sick after eating out, could be from ice in your drink.

                I always find it interesting how varied franchises can be when you cross border lines. KFC in my town is so overpriced the only people who can afford to eat it are the people who work in the mine. It's not even great, you often wind up getting old chicken or cold fries etc.

                All the different food places in the states, I wish we had the same variety... What makes Popeyes so terrible? What makes Chic-fil-a so great? Are in-n-out burgers really THAT good?
                My town is large enough to have TWO McDonald's (right across the street from one another) but no burger king. What a cold, cruel world it is...

                  I eat at KFC quite a bit and I ain't dead yet.
                  I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.

                    A very old but common saying in Aussie slang when your p!ssed of at someones crap:

                    "May your chickens grow into emu's and kick your sh!thouse down."

                    I other words the metaphore is saying : "I hope you can't find a place to dump your crap".

                        I have never had In-n-out burgers, but we have 5 Guys in our town. Patties are made fresh in front of you, bags of potatoes are stacked on the floor that they make the fries out of. All the add fixins are free, so you can get a fresh cheeseburger with grilled onions and mushrooms while you wait. They pour handfuls of fries into your bag. A large order of the fresh fries would feed a family by itself. If you ever see one, stop in, you will not be sorry.

                          I noticed a couple of people around here talking about a program called "Paper Cut". I have no idea what it does, but I think this is a story from their office.
                          Who broke the build?
                          It is from a few years back, but I thought the video part was kind of entertaining.

                            no idea what Paper Cut does either, just another IT wank that stops an honest technician doing his job properly.

                              Based on his first half performance, the Dallas Cowboys need to change the name of their quarterback to Tory Nomo. Nomo any good.

                                Now that is how a burger should be made. I hate thick buns on a hamburger. It should only be there to give you something to hold all the good stuff together while you eat it.
                                I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.
