Got some KFC Extra Crispy today: Taste, texture, appearance exactly like a Hungry-Man tv dinner.

Think I'm good for a while.

SIGN ME UP!

Also KFC has a new type of seasoned fries (no more ghastly wedges thank sweet baby Jesus) and they are pretty good iyam.

u say this like it's a bad thing

I haven’t had KFC in years. CFA and Bojangles are just better. But if the the new sandwich gets rave reviews, I might have to give it a go. It certainly sounds promising.

I’m glad to hear they have new seasoned fries. The wedges are not good.

I work in tax and financial advising from a CFO perspective. One time, I drove 4 hours one way for a meeting with a client and his sons about their business. They are great clients and have been for many years. I don’t mind driving to see them. They aren’t uber rich, but they are wealthy by world standards. The house is a million dollar house and they’re all bringing in mid 6 figures each year.

Typically, when I visit we get lunch from a local Zaxby’s. They live in the mountains, so not a ton of options, but I’m very happy with Zaxby’s. Instead, we were all served hungry man dinners. It was extremely disappointing. I think they were trying to be time efficient, but I would have happily taken the extra 30-40 minutes round trip to go to Zaxby’s.

Obviously, I accepted the hungry man, albeit reluctantly. But I was hungry. I haven’t had a hungry man since, and I hope I never do.

Holy ****, Hungryman dinners being served from wealthy people?

Were they trying to lose your business?

Yeah, I haven't had a Hungry-Man since I was a kid.

But bam, there it was in my mouth.

Man I miss Zaxby's so much, might be worth the 100 to fly to Atlanta for some Zaxby's and some Sweetwater IPA

That Hungry Man story is straight out of The Millionaire Next Door.

Seriously. Savages. I should have walked out on the spot.

I bet they grabbed their Wendy's burgers.

I would have assumed that you would have paid for their drinks and meals.

Easily worth it. Wings and things with fries and Texas toast. It’s heavenly.

That Zax sauce is to die for.

Be thankful they didn't serve those dinky little Michelina ones.

We (my boss and I) have a few times. But typically, since we are driving in, they’ll make the run for food and we will eat and start the meeting once we arrive. Zaxby’s is not on the way in.

Like I said, I would have gone out of my way to grab lunch if I knew the hungry man situation.

Based on the chain-of-events that you say normally follow, I would've thought that the Hungry-Man lunch would portend a tough negotiation.

Good on ya otherwise. I paid ~$8 for the honor. The Nasville Hot Chicken Little that prefaced the bullshit was decent.

We didn’t know until we arrived. They just said they’d take care of lunch. His sons aren’t usually in on the meeting so figured they wanted to change it up. This specific meeting was about business transition from the dad to the sons. So while we didn’t expect Zaxby’s, we also didn’t expect Hungry Man haha.

And yeah, your KFC experience doesn’t make me want to go, even for a new chicken sandwich. The Nashville hot has always looked good on tv, but my few KFC experiences haven’t been good. So I just haven’t had the desire.

Eat that pseudo-Colonels.

Don't make me post the link again. Dude is turning in his grave and agrees.

Think I actually posted in on unstuck previously, lemme fish that **** up.

RIP colonel.

I’d like to go back and eat KFC from the 70s just to see how it compares to current KFC. Wonder if it’s like Ricks where it was just better back then. Current KFC is almost always disappointing.

If you read Fast Food Nation, bro is clearly the GOAT. Practiced medicine and law with no formal education, along with other crazy stuff. His final act was as the Colonel; dude was a boss.

Tell me there was Hungry Man talk on the 4 hour drive home.

"How was your Salisbury Steak? That brownie looked pretty on point."

"Nothing like that Cherries Jubilee I saw on your tray, but yah it pretty solid."
