Shit that annoys you

ESPECIALLY at the Popeye's there. Last time I tried that, they were pretty much completely out of food by the time I got to order, and gave up.

Annoying because pre-pandemic I don't think was as much of an issue, but ever since, ATL hasn't quite been the same. For being the world's busiest airport, you'd think the restaurants there wouldn't keep bankers hours.

Probably tough staffing things, being that those are generally shit jobs paying jack squat.

Kenji Lopez-Alt (now at NYT) quoted in that article has definitely had Bojangles and picks Popeyes.

Someone obviously is. There’s thousands of them.

Had KFC on a whim the other day. Biscuits were pretty good. Extra crispy chicken was just kinda crispy and made a huge mess..

Get the single breast regular and the institutional mashed potatoes and gravy. It costs like $6 and is heavenly. I eat it once a year and never regret it.

No cole slaw??? Fried chicken better damn well come with cole slaw.

Hey KFC... where did the chicken go? It's under all that crusty crispy stuff I'm sure, but I'm havin trouble finding it.

There are as many indy chicken joints as there are pizza and wok places on the ec if you know where to look.

No panko or other bs fillers... just egg batter with a bit of seasoned flour quick fried to a golden brown with the juicy chicken still hermetically trapped under the skin.

So it squirts on the first bite

Those are the same people who make every social media post look like every part of their life is amazing, but they are secretly miserable, stressed out and insecure.

I'm like you, I max out my vacation. Rest and recovery is what the first few days back at work are for.

Truth. There’s a handful of mom and pop places around here that are so damned good it’s a once a year treat cause I know if I had any more of that juicy fried chicken, overnight soaked in buttermilk, seasoned to perfection, I’ll need a Lipitor script and a treadmill.

Been a looong time since I had KFC, but I agree those processed mashed potatoes and gravy are awesome

I ate all-you-can-eat fried chicken at the Slogar in CB one time right before I had a blood test. Let's just say, my LDLs were not within the parameters of what the medical community considers "healthy". Nerds!

I don't like fried chicken no matter who makes it, but KFC's cole slaw is my benchmark.

It's been a long time but imo there are 2 times that call for Popeyes. 1st is after a long day of drinking in the city and you need some fried chicken to soak up the 7 eleven booze cup you made for the last train home. Also if you are doing shady shit on the south side and you need to score coke/weed and the Popeyes with the bars and bulletproof windows is the likely spot.

Also church's chicken is mo better.

Lol. Fuck me, that's way too accurate.

But to be fair there was a white castle I've personally seen 4 shoot outs not too far from Gary, IN...but that might have been when they were the murder capital of the world.

I’ve eaten there once and it was a decent burger, but my go to is chicken and waffles with Luda. Hard to get decent chicken and waffles in Utah.
