Bush's Chicken vs Popeyes?

[toddnjoyce]

Depends if you want spicy or not. Tuesday night Bush’s does family night on chicken tenders. Something like 30 tenders for $30. Bush’s does not do spicey.

Bush’s does do gizzards.

Never heard of Bush's Chicken.
I only eat fried chicken once maybe twice a year.
And then it's Popeyes.

Honestly, my eating habits have deteriorated since I've been in Texas. I used to eat red meat once every 2-3 weeks, and fried chicken about once every 2-3 months. Now I stop by Rudy's before work for a "Brisket and Egg" taco.

That being said, I finally joined a gym again so hopefully that helps offset the "Texas 15".

I'm to busy judging water melon and drankin grape soda

Watermelon spiked with Everclear or Bicardi rum is pretty good. I'll bet even a grape soda with some Everclear would be pretty good too!

When Popeyes sold onion rings they were okay. Best where I live is a tiny Korean run restaurant.

Can’t recall from your other ’new to Texas’ thread but, have you been to Buc-Eee’s yet? Great place for a daily brisket taco and jerky.

Luling? Wow. Blast from the past. My ex was a former Watermelon Queen!

As far as the best Chicken goes?
Brookshire Brothers deli-counter. Hands down.

Bush's every day of the week.

Golden Fried (now called Golden Chick) and Chicken Express are also better than Popeye/'s.

Raising Cane's is so bland. Ate there once, never again.

City Market. Ribs.

WORST chicken I ever had was from Church's in Bay City. We picked the Box up and headed to the beach at Matagorda. It was so bad we fed it to the seagulls.

Brisket sandwiches were ridiculous.

When it comes to fried chicken chain s don't necessarily mean shit it the employee's & mananagment of the location that means everything. I really hate walking into a place with a chick with neck tats, frito fingernails and an attitude.

The oil in the fryer & how often its changed means everything to any fried foods.

you're not wrong

Did the seagulls throw it back at you?

There was, maybe still a small restaurant in Somerville called Rick's.
Some of the best fried chicken I have ever had, next to homemade.

The fried chicken from the WalMart Deli is pretty good, especially for the price.

I have yet to eat fried chicken at a chain restaurant that tastes different from any other chain - they all taste the same...including PE's.

If that is the place I recall, it has been gone for a while.

Their "small" chicken fried steak was an entire round steak. Lapped off the edge of a large plate. The "regular" was all you could eat. Was fantastic.

Covid got to your taste buds, eh?

That voice makes me want to choke some millenial.
