Alton is/was pretty good. I could not stand that smarta** Bobby Flay
nor his West Coast counterpart Guy Fieri.

Oh, I see I've mentioned his already. Bv)=
RH> I half watched Emeril on nights Steve had school and I had no outside

DD> I was idling away some time yesterday and reading one of the

DD> Hardee's finished ahead of sister chain Carl's Jr. but the winner was
DD> Wendy's. I like Dave's Single. But I druther have a Baconator. Bv)=
RH> I'd rather go for a chicken something or other than a burger most of

DD> There was a "Best of" on chicken, too. Popeyes, of course, won but to
DD> my surprise Chick Filly was mid-pack, behind Kanes, Shake Shack, and,
DD> of course, Popeye's. KFC, McD's and White Castle brought up the rear.
DD> Still, when I pass by the local Chick Fil A the dual drive-thru lanes

RH> It's just That popular! Good to see they're expanding out of the Deep

They've been out for some time. This is their second go in my town. And
I've tried their product more than several times. Still ain;t impressed.
DD> More likely to park, go in, get my grub and be on my way before the
DD> third car on-line has placed its order. Bv)=
RH> That's what we have to do, we've a high top on the back of our truck,

RH> premisis when towing to have room to park the rig.
Well, yeah, that's special circumstances. I';m referring to just a plain ol'
sedan. Rather than wait forever in a line. I stir my stumps and go inside.
In in & out before three peoplem have been served at the drive up..

the greens between two bowls.

chopped pecans, and 1/4 cup chopped blue cheese.
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Divide the meat evenly between the two bowls
