Agreed, although I have eaten there a few times ... during our 'last' visit we were waiting in the car for our order and was treated to the sight of seeing two rats running around the edges of their roof!

As for chicken ... I always choose Popeyes!

I don't know..... I just know it's better than KFC or similar, all that grease just makes me want to drink gallons of water.

Agree with you there. But they don't have any of those up here in Washington. S'ok, I can make my own.

Best I've had was at Mrs Wilkes Dining Room in Savannah. A little old place where you share a table with strangers, you all eat what you're given, and you'd durned well better like it ... and I sure did!

I just polished off some Church's a few minutes ago!

They call it family style eating and it's a big hit with tourists-think they serve breakfast too? I've live 45 min from Mrs Wilkes and never been there,

So tell us about your favorite burger (or fried chicken to return to the original topic)?

Don't really have a favorite. BK make some ok chicken burgers and Carl Jr's are good. Has anybody tried the BK breakfast sandwich yet?. That thing is huge!.

Hmm burgers. Tell you what I like, Wendy's double Texas cheeseburger. Used to be $1, they've recetly gone up to $1.29 but it's still a good deal.

We just got a deep fat fryer, yet to try it out, so it's beer battered fish and chips night this weekend and I bet it probably makes pretty good fried chicken too!

Fish & Chips with lashings of salt and red malt vinegar... Ah can almost smell it already... I could almost be back down my old street standing in the chippy.... Hmm might even wrap them up in Newspaper and stand outside the British pub eating it - now there is a warped idea...

Oh, where did I get my chips? I got them over there at the Texas Fish n' Chip emporium - yes the chippy is about 2 blocks that way...

Mrs Wilkes died last year, they closed down for a bit, but decided to reopen since it was such an institution.
