💬 You're tailgating and all you can bring is fast food. What are you bringing to eat?

I may try and rent one of those Gamedat atmosphere tents on The Quad this Fall. Even if for a crappy game, and we can bring our food and have a hell of a time without setting up

Side coleslaw from kfc

I've heard many talk about their mashed potatoes and gravy. I've never heard anyone say, "let's get some KFC coleslaw."

 

[Rolltide24]

I worked at KFC when I was 15, knew the owner. Had an old lady that had been working at his stores for 30 years. Made the slaw fresh every morning in a Rubbermaid tub. She was a dipper, and used the slaw and tub as her spittoon. Said it added flavor. I warned everyone I knew not to eat that slaw. I haven’t had KFC since that summer.

I'm in for a donation as well. It'll make me feel better about not being able to catch any crappie. Seriously, what are we talking to to reserve a tent on the Tuscaloosa side of the river?

...personally I can't stomach the fake mashed potatoes and gravy at KFC - but I do like their coleslaw recipe. I make a version of their coleslaw and serve it anytime I make BBQ or smoked chicken. It's pretty much North Alabama white sauce except with buttermilk and cabbage and a little carrot.

I think it's been ten years or more since I last ate at a KFC, and that was just to take someone from out of town to The Big Chicken.

See my post a few above yours about KFC cole slaw. The colonel’s receipt wasn’t the only thing with a secret ingredient. Was in Muscle Shoals

yeah, I saw your post...spittin' in the slaw is pretty nasty. Back in the 70's I worked at Wendy's and Pizza Hut and Piccadilly Cafeteria during high school. I don't have any stories like that because I never saw anything like that happen. Maybe it did, but I was unaware of it. Hard to fathom someone being that disgusting to another human - but I know that type is out there. There are some sick people in this world.

worked at Wendy's

The point it's old hamburgers in their chili makes me avoid that item.

...if I recall, it was not very long before the were chopped with the spatula and scraped into the chili meat bucket. Certainly not more than maybe 5 or 10 minutes sitting on the "cooler" part of the griddle once they were done. That part always impressed me about Wendy's. You knew you were getting 100% beef hamburger in the chili.

My dad had a few of those around Flint/Detroit. Being the "good son" I know too much about that place: good and bad.

Several years ago he put a "Beware of Alligator" sign over a ditch in front of one of his units; Flint, MI. Drew a lot of traffic.

Haven't had a reason to be in Marietta in years, so it's been a while since I drove past the Big Chicken.

I also haven't eaten inside a KFC in a while. Last time was about 5 years ago. I was on Holcomb Bridge in Roswell around lunch and remembered that location was one of the few that had a buffet. I'd never done a KFC buffet before - and I was starving. I won't go into gory detail, but let's just say I did not leave hungry. I didn't crave KFC for quite a while after that.

My fried chicken fix now is Publix. If I buy an eight piece for lunch it's gone that day, and if it's for supper, I'll have some cold for breakfast to finish it up.

Lived off of there in the summer's of my later high school years; Martin's Landing.

..I know Martin's Landing. I lived close to there off Old Alabama Road for a few years back in the mid 90's - between Holcomb Br. and Roswell Country Club.

Publix is pretty dang good - the best if you ask me - as far as grocery store chicken goes. And I have to have my pickled whole jalapenos with my fried chicken...

Dang ya'll making me hungry. I guess a night out at Baby Doe's wouldn't count for tailgating southern style. We loved that place. The orange rolls would make a great tailgate food.. wait I think the orange rolls were from The Club on Red Mountain
