I'm from Louisville, the only city in my crappy state with paved roads, but that still makes me a Kentuckian, (damn the luck), so I'm appalled at what the corporate vipers are doing to my beloved Kentucky Fried Chicken.No, I haven't posted a picture of my vomit; that's a KFC Famous Bowl, an actual menu item available at participating stores across the country.
What is in this modern slop jar? I'll let the company's website explain. "...a generous serving of mashed potatoes, sweet kernel corn, bite size pieces of all-white meat crispy chicken, topped with our homestyle gravy and 3-cheese blend."
What a great way to say to your clientele "We think of you as cattle. Graze away, bitches."
This isn't hearty homestyle cooking the way the Colonel envisioned when he created his famous original recipe chicken back in 1939; this is someone's garbage. Come on, pay us five dollars to eat like a homeless dumpster diver.
I blame the decline of KFC on the Pepsi Corporation. They've also ruined Pizza Hut, yet another American institution that's a hollow shell of its former self. Pizza Hut pizza used to be good. I know you younger readers don't believe me, but it's true. Then Pepsi decided to start using cheaper ingredients, and now I'd rather go back to my old middle school and eat their nasty little rectangular pizza than order anything from the Hut. Thanks, Pepsi. By the way, your soda sucks. DRINK COKE.
