Managed to score a 2 4 6 MICKREEEYUB just outside of Seattle city limits the other day.

Can confirm that 45 secs in microwave + healthy splash of fresh bbq sauce (stubbs in my case) = estimated 87% as good as fresh experience

$2 jumbo jack + $1 large MCD fries may be next move

The Bell got me with their Nacho Fries box for 5.50 (+.10 upsize - great value!). They forgot the sauce and napkins, which was suboptimal as I was eating in the 'sino parking lot. NF, taco, beefy five layer, lg drink. Really hit the spot. Also, it is freaking gorgeous in Scottsdale right now. Bout 70, sunny.

i don't have an opinion, but if this it truly correct it's pretty funny because LJS was part of YUM! up until ~10 years ago. they dump their best chicken and keep the colonel.

Spoiler:

i don't drive by often, but whenever i do i try to think of different ways to hack together my own fish tacos after ordering from both...nothing has sounded good enough to make me pull the trigger so far.

still haven't tried this yet...may have to rectify (or is it rectalfy?) that soon.

I'm old enough to remember when LJS looked like a dock on the outside.

Wing stopped. 15 wings half hot half Cajun, fries, 5 boneless because they were only a couple bucks more and they were solid. Wings were solid too. Bleu Cheese, Ranch, and Honey Mustard

The Colonel knows what he's doing, it's easy PR.

This also isn't KFC's first foray into the video game "market": https://store.steampowered.com/app/1...ing_Simulator/

Ditto on the weather, 71 here today. Supposed to be highs back in the 50's in a couple days.
