Chick Filly was *never* high on my list of "bought chicken'. There used
to was a regional chain called Brown's Chicen that had more location in
Springfield than McDonalds. And the chicken was excellent so the places
were alway busy. But in '93 there was a massacre in a Chicago area store
(7 employees killed) which caused a fall off in business and led to the
closure of many stores. All of the Springfield store closed. Many of the
buildings hold other food places. One has my favourite Chinese restaurant,
Tai Pan. A couple of others are now Subway stores. And one is home to
Peerless Cleaning & Restoration Services a leading carpet cleaner,
disaster resuce, flood restoration, etc. company.

I was sad to see tem go. Especially when my other favourite chicken
joint left town and I was stuck with Kentucky Fried Colonel until we
got Popeyes.

     Title: Lee's Famous Coleslaw Copycat
Categories: Greens, Vegetables, Salads
     Yield: 8 servings

     1 md Head cabbage
   1/4 c  Sugar
     1 lg Carrot
     1 md Onion
          Mayonaise; as needed
   1/3 c  Oil
   1/2 ts Salt

 Chop all vegetables fine. Add sugar, salt and oil. Add

 A post online from someone who used to work for Lee's
 says they made this 50 lbs at a time, and noted that
 they use cottonseed oil rather than vegetable oil.

 UDD BOTE: Sometimes I add very finely diced green bell
 pepper. Both for the cruch and a bit of colour.
