The Today Show had a story on how chicken is dominating the fast-food chain wars. Isn't that old news? I thought that was a thing.
I remember the chicken sandwich being a big thing not long ago. Popeye's introduced a chicken sandwich and then everyone started doing it. I think Popeye's still has the best chicken sandwich.
I try not to eat most meats, including chicken and fish, but awhile back, I noticed I was not getting enough protein, so I went back to eating non-red meat things.
I was forgetting things - including names of people. A friend who is against vaccinations kept telling me it was that I got the Covid vaccine and that was the cause of me loosing brain cells, but I knew that wasn't it.
Then one day, on the Today Show, ironically, a doctor was on, and she said, "If you are forgetting names and other things, it may be because you are not getting enough protein." And that was it! As soon as I heard that, I realized that was my issue.
For maybe six months or so, I was eating green. I mostly had a big salad, sort of like Elaine Benes, as my main meal of the day.
They knew me at Panera Bread around the county. I would go to various ones depending on where I was during the day, and I would get a cobb salad, minus the meat. I would also add extras in it like red onions, super greens, etc. But I was not getting any protein.
When they added the Mediterranean salad and Greek salads, I started eating those. I felt since the ancient grain farro was in one of these salads, it must be good.
I figured if it fueled the ancient Greek and Romans, it must be good. Then I realized this was an ancient grain, but people, like the ancient Greeks and Romans, didn't live very long according to our standards. So, farrow didn't help them when you think about it.
Eventually I went back to chicken and fish - sometimes red meat, but hardly ever.
I like the Popeye’s chicken sandwich and also Wendy's and Burger King. I also like Pollo Tropical's chicken sandwiches and Publix makes a great chicken and fish sandwich, quite cheap, only the bun is always hard as a rock from sitting under the hot lights all day.
Popeye’s has Honey Lemon Pepper Wings - this drippy, zesty delicious thing. I think that's my favorite thing right now.
I don't like KFC; they really went downhill. It's hit or miss. They have some chicken nuggets now, which are delicious if they don't come out rubbery.
They are always trying to upsell at KFC. Before they even see you when you are around the bend at the drive-thru, the first thing they ask is if you want a 20 piece bucket. I guess they don't realize that at noon, most people are there for a quick lunch, not a family meal. I try to joke with them about it, but they get offended, so I keep my mouth shut now and just order lunch.
