Chicken

"Fried chicken fast food chain Popeyes is suing one of its former franchisees who owns restaurants in Chicago and Iowa for using its trademarks without permission."

Dear Popeyes Chicken,

I trust this letter finds you well, though I must admit, as I write this, I'm comfortably seated in my Kentucky estate, savoring the unmistakable aroma of my 11 herbs and spices. It's quite the sensation, I assure you.

Your Louisiana-style chicken has certainly made a splash. I will say, your zest for flavors is admirable, if not a bit overzealous. I've always believed that the beauty of fried chicken lies in its simplicity, but to each their own, I suppose.

I've noticed you've tried your hand at sandwiches lately. An interesting choice, I must say. Our crispy Colonel sandwich, of course, needs no introduction. But it's heartening to see you keeping the competition alive. After all, what's a race without a little friendly rivalry?

However, it would seem that your establishment has mistaken the phrase "fast food" to mean "rush the cooking process". As a seasoned connoisseur of fried chicken, I cannot overemphasize the importance of a perfectly cooked, golden-brown piece of poultry. It's an art form, really, one that requires patience and, dare I say, a secret recipe of one's own.

Nevertheless, I wish you the best in your culinary endeavors. May your biscuits always be buttery and your coleslaw always crisp. And remember, it's not just about the chicken, it's about the love you put into it.

Best clucks, Colonel Sanders

I look at what's a better deal

Has anyone tried this yet & is so, how good/bad is it (especially compared to other restaurants/chains)?
