    They lost me when they hired Norm Macdonald to play the role...

    Thankfully, their food is still the same!

    Depends on which restaurant you visit, some are still good, others are really not good

    Default Have to agree...

    They should leave well enough alone and the food does differ from place to place. Strange all comes from the same place but maybe they don't change the oil etc

    I think its all about the economics of advertising. By not having a person we become accustomed to over a period of time--they can keep using the people that come up in casting calls each time. Most will work "cheap" in order to become the latest Colonel.

    Think of "Flo" who is reported to make over $500K per year and the Dos XX's guy.

    RE: the food: It has always been hit and miss up here. I don't think they follow the exact protocol and you can end up hitting them on a bad day.

    I was convinced by the commercials to try the new Nashville Hot Chicken--YUK, YUK, YUK. Here, it did not have enough sauce and tasted like they used generic Sriracha out of the bottle to spice it up.

    Our other chicken purveyor is Popeyes. They used to be much better than KFC but the service and cleanliness of the place has become deplorable. A 45 minute wait for drive through is another indicator.

    These days, when I get the craving, I fire up the Fry Daddy.

    I have to agree with you on that one. There will never be another Colonel. KFC is still my stop of choice when riding or just traveling. Always Good. Especially like their Pot Pies now days.

And their spots have gotten worse as they've tried to turn each one into a corny stand-up routine.

    The newer commercials with the "new" colonel are not that good. I'm not a big fan of the chicken either. jmho Dale

    Something about the Colonel slapping that football player on the but a couple of times and then saying "It's Finger Lickinng Good" doesn't seem right.

    Default KFC

    Down here in SE Georgia I've given up on them. I go to the Winn Dixie grocery store and get a whole fried chicken (a good whole fried chicken) for $6.00. Or go to Popeye's. Still hard to top KFC's cole slaw though.

    I always get the original recipie chicken. But I'm starting to think it has changed a bit in flavor? Maybe it's different from store to store?
    I tried the other 'flavors' and didn't like them.

    I knew there was something wrong with the taste of Coke three years before they announced they had changed the formula by changing from sugar to corn syrup as the sweetener!
