I had a coupon so I went to KFC for the first time in at least a year and a half. I stopped going there because they always would get my order wrong, and the drive through took longer than a semester at college. But with a coupon I’m willing to give another chance.
The first thing I notice is that everything has a “no trans fat” sticker on it. “Oh yeah,” I thought to myself, “They changed the grease due to people whining or something.”
After 25 minutes in the drive-thru I get my food home and - oh my God, it’s so bad. It’s fresh and not overcooked, but it doesn’t taste like KFC. There is absolutely no flavor to the chicken. In fact, I think I’m going to throw most of it away or make chicken salad - it’s that inedible. You can totally tell they changed how they make it.
I even gave some potato wedges to Moose and he spit them out and refused to eat them. Moose - the one who eats socks and craps them out whole. Wouldn’t eat KFC.
I feel sorry for that restaurant. How are they going to stay in business with such shitty-tasting food?

The KFC closest to our house (which is a good drive already) has ran us away as customers. You’ll never believe why. Because the last 3 times that we’ve driven over there to get some chicken (in the last 9 months or so) they’ve been out of…………wait for it………….CHICKEN! How does a chicken restaurant run out of chicken at 4 in the afternoon? It kind of cracks me up even if I did just waste a trip. Last time I called ahead and asked “Do you have any chicken” and the person on the other end laughed and hung up on me. I guess he thought I meant “Do you have Prince Albert in a can?”
Oh my. Thanks for the heads up. Not like I’d be eating at KFC anytime soon, but hubbie always watches the commercials and says, “why does that always look so good?”
I knew there was a reason I didn’t eat there too often.
There’s a KFC around the corner from our house … I didn’t even know it was there until one day I saw a bunch of protesters picketing it (not sure who they were; possibly PETA). I wondered what they were up to, took a closer look, and — wow! It’s a KFC! So I’ve since gone there a couple of times for some Kentucky Fried Crisco. I haven’t been in a while, though, so I probably haven’t experienced the trans-fat-free variety.
Anyway, the moral of the story is, be careful what you picket. You might not attract the kind of response you’re expecting …
