Charo Chicken
Fast-food chicken will never reach Mickey D proportions but it's huge in LA, where a buncha chains do grilled chicken that’s semi-not-gross (as in, KFC gross). It started w/ El Pollo Loco, which rightfully has its fans. Then came a wave of clones: Juan Pollo (most shameless), KooKooRoo ("healthy"), Zankou (Mediterranean-ish), etc etc. Charo Chicken is the suburban rendition, spawned in O.C., whose "spec sauce" is lemon garlic butter but whose real claim to fame is that they deliver. Some ringing endorsement for a good meal, eh. Dallas being the ultimate suburban city, and Plano being its suburb / O.C. equivalent, makes the perfect site for expansion, one of the chain’s first outside Cali along w/ las vegas.

Is this supposed to be named after Charo the singer?
Koochee Koochee, baby!
Um yeah that.
"...Dallas being the ultimate suburban city, and Plano being its suburb / O.C. equivalent..."
Yep, TG, when I think of Plano, I always think of Laguna Beach. And I guess that makes Addison Newport Beach?
Semi-serious question: Do any of the fast-food chicken places specialize in chicken and waffles? Isn't that a "hot" combination in SoCal?
Did sumbuddy say chicken and waffles? Where!
hey kirk - in L.A., it's just roscoe's, right? i don't think it's a big trend like this grilled chick thing (unless other places have opened since i moved away) - and then there's the original chick & waffle place in harlem, wells
we did have a start-up who opened down on Loop 12 S of dallas last year, called Big Mike's - but they didn't have much restaurant experience and closed after 6 mths
blah, blah, blah . . . chicken . . . waffles, blah, blah (eyes rolling), [gunshot!]
I hate to agree with anonymous, but this really isn't a very interesting piece of news
Yeah, godammit. Let's get back to declaring our Energy Independence. And "anonymous" ... don't think I don't know where you live.
Ur, Dickie, everybody knows where I live, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh [shaking shoulders up and down].
But don't forget, I know where that "undisclosed location" is.
(repeat evil laugh and shoulder movements.)
Charo who? I do not understand. But it looks marvelous and delicious.. hmmm...
