Have you been back to any childhood chain/franchise?

KFC was my most coveted childhood food thing – original recipe – and we had a bucket maybe 4 times, tops, growing up. We just didn’t do take-out meals.

We get Popeyes…let’s just say rather more often that, now. I like it! The worst I can say of it is that a breast is occasionally dry. (I do dark meat so not an issue.) But then we decided to give KFC a shot and it both bizarre and horrible. Strange dark color, desiccated, a terrible flavor. I don’t like to slag on fast food but this was BAD.

We had the same exact experience about 8-9 months ago! Decided to pick up KFC one evening for dinner because I was remembering the KFC from my childhood with the crispy chicken and awesome mashed potatoes. What we got was some greasy, weird tasting chicken and fake mashed potatoes that had a weird margarine/fake butter flavor. No one wanted to eat it, kids included. Ended up making PB&Js to fill us up!

We are Popeye’s fans for when we want fried chicken. Don’t eat it very often though.

Better than KFC

I went to a KFC recently and was surprised by how salty it was.
