4) I love Wendy's - especially with the welcome return of the Pretzel Pub Burger - but every town does have the "Dirty Wendy's." That's a real thing. 90% miminum of all Wendy's I've been in have been spotless, hygenic, sanitary places to enjoy what comes out of Dave's kitchen - but every city has that one Wendy's you never step foot in or even take the drive-thru in fear whatever Pigpen ghost haunts it will make its way from the drive-thru window to your automobile. This has been the case in every major city I've lived in and being on the road I've been fooled by the hidden Dirty Wendy's spread across the country like an unexpected mold. Here in Minneapolis, the Dirty Wendy's is next to my favorite Taco Bell (which is also the neck-and-neck vying for the cleanest Taco Bell distinction) so it's such a night and day testament to society's need for balance. Chaz Q. Raps, you continue to be my only ally. Thank you for supporting the idea of the Dirty Wendy's because so many people do not believe that the Dirty Wendy's is a real phenomenon. |

Yeah, I don't trust Konnan as a source for anything regarding AEW. He might know a little something about the availability of the Bucks and especially Omega due to his duties with AAA, but I don't trust him to have the scoops.

Just to clarify a few things in this thread - 1) Popeye's changed their entire formula in 2007. The reputation they had preceded this ("Popeye's chicken is f***ing awesome" as famously said in Adam Sandler's worst movie), and then they tried to shift their image from a just a chicken place to an emphasized "Louisana Kitchen" (their "Lou-i-si-an-ah Fast!" jingle that used to haunt Raw that's been since changed to the same melody with the clunky wording "love that chicken from Popeye's") and are now back to being more of a chicken competitor with their chicken sandwich. 2) Raising Cane's whole allure isn't the chicken, it's the sauce and the toast. Just like how Bojangle's is all about the biscuits. 3) Arby's has a way higher success rate than they should with their promotional items, but it comes with a Thanos-esqe price as they've stopped carrying their phenomenal hashbrown cakes. 4) I love Wendy's - especially with the welcome return of the Pretzel Pub Burger - but every town does have the "Dirty Wendy's." That's a real thing. 90% miminum of all Wendy's I've been in have been spotless, hygenic, sanitary places to enjoy what comes out of Dave's kitchen - but every city has that one Wendy's you never step foot in or even take the drive-thru in fear whatever Pigpen ghost haunts it will make its way from the drive-thru window to your automobile. This has been the case in every major city I've lived in and being on the road I've been fooled by the hidden Dirty Wendy's spread across the country like an unexpected mold. Here in Minneapolis, the Dirty Wendy's is next to my favorite Taco Bell (which is also the neck-and-neck vying for the cleanest Taco Bell distinction) so it's such a night and day testament to society's need for balance. 5) Right now, KFC reigns supreme for me. The only frustrating thing about the franchise is how "prices and participation may vary" is taken so literally specific. Of the three within driving range of me, only two have Grilled Chicken, only one has Nashville Hot, and none of them have Georgia Gold BUT there is a location that still has Georgia Gold if I want to do a halfhour outside the city into Blaine (which in a non-pandemic I'd totally do) and while business-wise I can appreciate a franchise that's allowed to continue promotions at their personal discretion, as a customer there's always that risk of indecision when I get to the menu and the location doesn't carry what I want. Full disclosure, I have an interesting relationship with KFC as (no joke, five years ago tomorrow) I was the first person to recognize that their Twitter account follows six guys named Herb and the five Spice Girls (11 herbs and spices) so they sent me a prize pack: I refuse to believe that clean taco bells exist, Sorry chazraps  |

Wendy's pretzel burgers are so good. I readily welcome their return.

On the Target store thing, how exactly are you supposed to react if you're an employee of the store when you hear Punk say what he said?(other than negatively)
If Punk had said "you can't even do Glitch's job!", I can't see how that's not an insult at me.

Whoa whoa whoa, people. You're all discussing fried chicken and chicken sandwiches. Have we reached the nexus between threads and gotten to the point this one meets the Havok thread?

So, true story, I used to think Wendy's was terrible... because my first experience with Wendy's was a Dirty Wendy's in the Woodlawn area of Baltimore back in the early 2000s. (No, I'm not that young, my mom was one of those parents who Did Not Believe In Fast Food (tm)) I got a chicken tenders combo meal, got glared at by the staff like I'd offended them with my presence, two shriveled up dried out tenders, and nasty cold fries. I didn't go back to Wendy's until a decade later when a buddy had a BOGO Baconator coupon and offered me the extra Baconater. It was a life changing experience. I spent 6 years working HVAC on the road before COVID put me out of business, and my work partner and I had a saying for meals "Wendys in doubt." And it worked every time, except for the time we blundered into a Dirty Wendy's in Wheeling WV...
FYI Dirty Hardee's is also a thing.

I feel like we already discussed fried chicken. That might be on page 204, but who can keep track?

Dirty Hardee's are something special. I will stand by that. I like that in my hometown all the "dirty" stuff is on the same side of town. Like the "Dirty Wendy's" and "Dirty BK" are right across the street from the "Bad Walmart" which is down the road from the abandoned mall, and "Janky Goodwill". I never knew it was a cultural thing. This thread just keeps on giving. |

BonChon is the best fried chicken. I prefer their fish platter more. Fish fillet, tempura, and calmares. The spicy sauce version. They also got a good hotdog. Got spicy mayo on it and the hotdog is coated in a crispy batter thing. |

They should watch Punk UFC clips all night long. guess I'm in the minority - Burger King's burgers are amazing Seriously, it's something about that grill mark on the whoppers I f***ing loved them since I was a kid but I’m convinced they’ve slimmed out the patty (I have had this exact conversation b4 on FAN..) and especially with recent prices I ain’t paying that much for barely any meat. This Dirty Wendy’s stuff sounds like libel and ima investigate the next one I come across |

There's a place here as well called Army Navy, they got a really nice chicken sandwich. Crispy chicken chipotle sandwich is what it's called. Got crispy onion rings under the bun. Tasty.

I'm not saying I believe Konnan about anything, but it wouldn't be the worst thing for Bucks/Kenny/Punk to be suspended until November. A clean break, time to sort everything out legally and people will have moved on.

I don't want to have to lock this one Nexus Wade Barrett is not as fun as Horny Wade Barrett. Just imagine Wade Barrett at a media scrum. Wade: "You see this shirt? It was given to me personally by Toxic Attraction. This tattoo that says 'Duke of My Heart', that was all my own doing." Reporter: "I was asking about your thoughts on Colt Cabana, and if biting has a place in wrestling." Wade: "Sure, Colt's better than Grayson Waller. And if Pretty Deadly is doing it to me, biting's got a place." Vic: "Where's Beth Phoenix?" *Punk barges in*Punk: "f*** you, Vic Joseph. You want Beth here, but no mention of me?" Vic: "The hell?" Wade: "Don't worry, he's all talk." |
