KFC

I haven’t been in a KFC in years. So long, in fact, that I still call them «Kentucky Fried Chicken».
Anyway, we were heading to the Aquarium in Newport right around lunch time when we decided it would be a good idea to get the kids fed before going to check out the fish. My super picky 6 year old pretty much survives on chicken nuggets from the notorious McD’s when we’re out and about. As much as this bothers me, I also appreciate that it is one of the few things he eats without complaint or much prompting on our part. So we were on the hunt for a McDonalds when I saw this KFC from the stoplight. I figured we should give it a shot.
We walked in and were greeted by very friendly folks at the counter followed by a slightly funny interaction.
Nice guy at the Counter: What would you folks like today?
My Wife: Well, the kids want chicken nuggets
NGC: We don’t serve «chicken nuggets».
MW: Um. Wait, is this KFC? (my wife and I exchange slightly confused looks).
NGC: Ahem. We serve real chicken.
MW: Ohhh. Ok. We’d like whatever is like a chicken nugget for the kids.
NGC: Then you probably want the Original Recipe Bites.
The rest of the order went much more smoothly. The food was surprisingly good and of much higher quality than what we expect from McDonalds. The chicken nuggets are actual real pieces of chicken as opposed to chickenish fried nugget things. And the kids liked it. Special mention goes out to the biscuits. Man, I forgot how good the biscuits are!
