Crazy Chicken
For lunch today, I had some El Pollo Loco, which literally means "The Crazy Chicken." (It reminds me of a Saturday Night Live skit where the guy is talking about "El Nino," to which he says, "Yeah. 'El Nino'.. that's Spanish for 'The Nino.' " Like many things, I guess it's funnier if you have actually seen it.) Anyway, I'm unclear to why it's called that, but I sincerely hope that it isn't because they are breeding/selling chickens diagnosed to be clinically insane. Who knows what kind of weird diseases you might get from that meat. More than likely, it's probably referring to their crazy pricing. My co-worker and I just split a 10-piece legs/thighs meal (complete with 9 flour - the corn ones are *ick* - tortillas and unlimited salsa) for only $6.99. It's crazy I tell ya.. all the chicken-y goodness of KFC, without the fat and 11 (secret) herbs and spices. Good stuff!
Another good place to eat is Denny's. Contrary to popular belief (and some popular people), it's really not bad. For $4 per person (that includes tax AND tip), you can have a hearty, sit-down breakfast meal consisting of 2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2 eggs, and 2 pancakes. That's good enough to fill most people. But if you're like me, you'll be willing to shell out an extra dollar for a side of hashbrowns.
