Down here it's a free "Southern Style Chicken Sandwich" during lunch and dinner. Which I suppose is pretty much the same thing.

They've been advertising that thing like it's the second fucking coming of Christ.

"chicken....pickles..on a bun."

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yeah?

Just put that reconstituted piece of crap on the menu right below the filet o' fish. Save yourself the $50MM advertising budget, and save me the indignity of having to listen to someone pretend that a piece of chicken and a pickle is something I have to like, take a few weeks off of work and come to reckoning with.

I'm not saying I don't love me some Donald's!

..but I can't defend it either. You ever watch what they're doing back there. I mean REALLY watch that they're doing in the back of the McDonalds, when they're cooking your food?

They're pulling burgers out of drawers and shit. It's like uncle Wally's wonderful burger wardrobe back there, and they really shouldn't be allowed to advertise it as anything other than that: re-hydrated, compressed food-dust served from a chest of drawers.


mmMMMmmm, bacon egg cheese biscuit.

I'd also like to say that it's all still better that Burger King, who think 'flame broiling' is synonomous with 'pour liquid-smoke on your burger', and who have chosen to veer away from McDonald's technique of grinding up various foodstuffs and later re-forming them into other, more pleasurable, shapes...choosing instead to take their raw ingredients and slice everything as molecularly fucking thin as possible,leaving the customer with the pleasure of savoring the strings that once passed for bacon and onions, dangling from the spaces in-between their teeth, four hours after eating.

Wendy's, realizing their chance to grab market share with superior ingredients, gave every customer exactly what we wanted: generous helpings of the crappiest, most flavorless and out-of-season vegetables possible, at all times. And baked potatoes. We all know how much the kids fucking love baked potatoes. And chili.

Thankfully, along came Jack in the Box, taking an entirely different approach of getting as many possible varieties of crappy fast food on the same menu. You ever take a good luck at those tacos? Some kinda creamy beef(?), shredded lettuce and a couple slices of american cheese, poured into a taco shell. BZZZ! I'm sorry, you shouldn't even be allowed to call that a taco. There's PROBABLY mayo in there somewhere. There should be legislation against that shit.

Are these the same large sandwiches they used to serve?(I haven't been there in about 2 years). Are the cutting back on the meat?

They have to scrape the grease off the inside of that place every night. And I am sure I have had a roach or two accidentally breaded into the chicken a time or two.

Breaded Chicken Patty (with flavorless breading)

If I want a chicken sandwich from McDonald's, I'll just get the $1 McChicken. That "southern style" garbage wasn't worth the $2.89 or whatever they charged me. I at least expected the chicken to be somewhat spicy or have some flavor to it. What's so "southern" about it? I hope Pennsylvanians don't think that we native southerners actually eat shit like that and pass it off as our own.

I got the beat down by a Texan once when I was eating Chili with beans and made the mistake of calling it just Chili

'NO, THAT'S CHILI WITH BEANS!!'

Guess it made an impression.. it stuck with me for 18 years.

Quiznos owns. Chik-Fil-A rules. McDonalds has some passable stuff. You talk bad about Burger King I will effing kill you and drench your children in liquid smoke and eat them. Carls Jrs or whatever I hear that is just Hardees but what is with the different name. Jack-in-the-Box is the gd BOMB. I swear to god I could be Dave Thomas's illegitimate son so back the EFF off of Wendy's (and if you get a baked potato or chili from Wendy's I will cut it out of your stomach with the spoon from my Frosty).

Let's see what did I leave out.

Arby's is aight. Beef and cheddar only, though. And why EXACTLY do curly fries taste better even totally unseasoned?

stevew
05-20-2008, 12:02 PM
Everyone flips out for the 5 dollar footlong.

I sadly remember the 3 dollar cold cut trio footlong, and the 99 cent meatball 6". Man, prices have gotten rediculous.

Chicken for breakfast is like the best thing ever.

Chick-Fil-A Chicken Biscuits are just about the best breakfast ever invented...

Kind of oddly enough, I think I've ended up in a town with the only two crappy CFA's I've ever run across.

The staff at one borders on surly (a complete anomaly in the chain) while the other has pleasant & quick service but the results from the kitchen are below par. In particular I've discovered that CFA's in Athens can't cook sausage for crap :(

And I finally reached the point of "meh" with the chicken biscuits for breakfast. The full sized ones are overpriced for the amount of food (since it takes two to consider me full) and the mini's are just too damn sweet any more (I suspect they've changed the honey butter formula).

At the moment, it's Bojangle's steak-and-egg biscuits that rule the breakfast drive-thru roost for me.

The McDonald's chicken biscuit is decent. I had a bad one today that was a bit stringy but generally I favor it over the Wendy's chicken biscuit -- unless you have Wendy's give you a Chicken Frescuit.

The full sized ones are overpriced for the amount of food (since it takes two to consider me full) and the mini's are just too damn sweet any more (I suspect they've changed the honey butter formula).
I address that issue by getting one chicken biscuit and a small box of minis. :)

Hard to believe I'm only about 200 pounds overweight.
