Yesterday, in desparate need for some grease to accelerate my recovery from a wicked hangover, I headed to Kentucky Fried Chicken, hoping for something along the lines of four extra crispy pieces of chicken and some potato wedges.  When I arrived and looked at the menu, I was both confused and horrified by the menu options in front of me.  Every chicken combo includes at most 3 pieces, and in most cases 2.  And not 3 "real" pieces of chicken, platry little thighs and drumsticks.  Not one single combo at KFC includes a breast anymore.  Then you get two sides and a biscuit.  When I inquired about this, I was told I could get chicken by the piece, but the meal I wanted would've come out to $8+.  At that price point, I'd rather be eating at someplace better than KFC.  They also had things like wraps and sandwiches, but I thought that's what McDonald's and Burger King are for ..

So what gives?  It appears KFC is trying to fill people up on cheap, fatty side items instead of tender, juicy fried chicken.  I suppose it makes sense from a business perspective, but I have to imagine not everyone is falling for this scam?  I'm certainly not going to be going back to KFC any time soon ...
