An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
Where’s The Outrage?
Isn’t this pure-D racism? I mean, there are people who get their knickers in a twist when fried chicken is associated with the black population, so why isn’t this racist?
Memphis KFCs leave Colonel’s new grilled recipe to the suburbs
Colonel Sanders is serving up a healthier alternative to buckets of deep fried chicken.
Last week, Kentucky Fried Chicken, the Louisville-Kentucky fast food chain, rolled out a new secret recipe — the Kentucky Grilled Chicken.
But many Memphians looking to sink their teeth into the less fatty fowl are out of luck. None of the KFC’s within the city limits is offering the grilled chicken.
Seriously? Isn’t it just a bit absurd to sell the grilled chicken in every burg around Memphis, but not in Memphis itself? With the population of Memphis residents being somewhere in the 2/3 range of the total population….. Well, it just strikes me as odd. That’s all I’m sayin’.
Demographics? Maybe they thought it just wouldn’t sell in the city. Grilled chicken sucks at a fast food places anyway. It always comes precooked and tastes like plastic. Is KFC franchised? Maybe one guy owns the ones in city and didn’t want to put grills in.
I hate the whole food Nazi thing. It’s a sad reflection.
I’ve got no problem with chains or individual franchise owners selecting a product mix to fit the local demographics (i.e. not stocking bacon in mostly-Jewish neighborhoods), but the writer insisting business decisions are inherently racist bothers me.
(I mean, I’m pissed Wegman’s only carries the weird yuppie flavors of Palermos, but I understand they want to move product, and New Yorkers who want plain old sausage will buy the national or local brands…)
I could understand it if they were locally owned franchises that decided against selling the grilled, but these are owned by a company in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
Dimwitocrat racist at it again . Was there a weapon at their nob-head to order this selection . Like the nothing who did not order cold coffee . It is past the point of being stupid , I may want cold beverages , but well this is what we have become .
Before I became a full time daddy I was in the food business. My last gig was as a WAITER in fancy dancy steak and wine place. One time we had fried cheese cake for a dessert special. I remember walking up to a table and the lady asked me if the DEEP FRIED CHEESE CAKE had trans fat. Her husband and I lost it and laughed our heads off at the question. I was ultra smooth, I thought I could take anything thrown at me from a patron.
I always think of that as a microcosm of what’s happening to society.
BTW, busy here today huh?
Oh, now that’s funny. Heh. And um….yeah…. noticed that, did ya?
