The Popeye's I go to actually has good customer service. It seems to be an anomaly with that franchise, but their chicken is miles better (and bigger) than Chic-Fil-A. I don't even bother with Chic-Fil-A anymore unless I'm in a hurry. However, they did have that Honey Pepper Pimento Chicken Sandwich on the menu for a while and it was pretty good.
I've run into that problem when adding them too soon to gumbo or low-country boil, but maybe it's different with gravy. IDK why it would be, but I'm not a food scientist. Maybe the viscosity of the gravy treats them a little kinder.

Raisin Bran Crunch, but for super sugary, no health benefits cereal, I've always been partial to

IDK about that. Shrimp takes about 3-4 minutes to cook. Cooking them longer makes them tough.

Best deal in pizza right now is probably Domino's large with up to 7 toppings for $9.99.
TB has to be one of the biggest rip-offs in the restaurant industry when you consider the ridiculous prices they charge for small portions of shitty food. Just say no.
Use as an excuse, probably, but not while Trump is in office.

Market saturation was their strategy from the beginning, but they have been losing locations (over 7000) for more than a decade now.

Is any fast food? Having a hard time thinking of anything that is worth the money unless it is on sale.

Steak bites, leftover from a beef tenderloin I trimmed Sunday. Going to cook 'em up hot and fast in some cast iron and hit them with a little Gochujang sauce at the end.

We go through the Panda Express drive-thru. It's fast, reasonable, and as good as most of the Chinese sit-down restaurants around here -- which says more about them than Panda Express.


I used to eat at the one in Roswell fairly often, mostly because I love the Mandarin Teriyaki Sauce. I stopped at one here in SC for lunch one day and my eyeballs were about to float I needed to piss so bad. I had to spend 5 minutes going through the line to place my order before they'd give me the code for the men's room. I won't be back. The worst part is that this store isn't in a part of town where you see many, if any, homeless people or loiterers.

I don't eat at places that require a code to use the bathroom. Only restaurant in town that has that BS.

Bad news, per the permitting dashboard the timelines on the federal environmental assessment have been pushed back. Date of completion was pushed from 1/14 to 3/27.


Meh...if there weren't delays, I'd start to suspect that something is wrong.
Fantastic! Merry Christmas to you!

This is our favorite using jalapeño pimento cheese.

I'm sure it could be even better if you subbed the Red Lobster biscuit mix.


Making it now. Thanks!
Taco smell is over-priced garbage. I'd rather hit up a real Mexican food truck.
