The Chi’King was one of the best chicken sandwiches on the market! It’s sad to see it go. But it was EXPENSIVE! I was much more likely to buy 2 original sandwiches for the price of one Chi’King. Going to give the new line a try.
Arby's got rid of the Loaded Italian sandwich and dropped their salads as well. Culver's for the second year in a row isn't offering sweet potato fries for the holiday season. I wouldn't mind these places shrinking their menus if it meant that the quality went up for the remaining items, but we all know that's not happening.
I laugh at how some people and media rave over certain brands but I don't see what the big deal is. In our town we've had big name restaurants come and go. In the second time in the past 20 years we've had a popeyes open and flop to only close its doors. Our taco bell has closed permanently to become a hotdog stand. We also have a BK and KFC on their way out because of mismanagement driving away customers. But the big name doing extremely well are Culvers (but the quality has been falling off the mark), DQ (we've got 2), Arbys (one is definitely better than the other because the bad location the staff sucks), Wendy's (it's always packed at lunch and my favorite breakfast for the baconator and wedges), and of course Subway (we've got 3) and the favorite was still the oven roast chicken. I found the rotisserie chicken to have a flavor component that tastes like soap. At the most popular subway the manager was still getting it as long as she could still order from the international market since it hasn't disappeared worldwide yet
Subway stopped serving chopped salads and also stopped serving salads in the bigger container. It literally costs nothing and the corp people still went through. They recently forced shops to slice meat themselves. What a mess. They don't realize their poor corp decision-making skills are exactly why they're on a downhill. Also many franchisees have a bad attitude and I usually have to buy my favorite salads from miles away. Smh.
We've got 2 Mcdouchebags and both still have the drinks listed as $1 on the menu but are quietly charging $1.59 and saying they can't do anything about it because corporate told them to keep doing it. That's false advertising but nobody pays attention to their receipts anymore to notice. A couple of years ago I pointed out that we've got 2 Mcdouchebags and one location (in front of Walmart) was charging more than the other location on the other side of town. Plus the Walmart location rarely participates with promotionals. What really makes you scratch your head is when you find out they're both owned by the same people
The mcplant burger still exists in the UK. I had one the other day. The only downfall with that burger is a lack of a good sauce. The burger itself is good, the tomato however just makes the whole thing too wet and reduces flavours then the vegan sauce... It's just... Kind of flavourless. I'm not vegan, I'm vegetarian... And yet mcd's won't throw some big Mac sauce on there for me 💀 hopefully they work on the sauce side, and make better vegan sauces. There's no reason why they couldn't.
I hadn't been to a Burger King in like 10 years until they introduced the Ch'King. Got it probably 3 or 4 times and now pOOf. It's gone. Dumb decision.
