Lobster is so so so overrated. 75% of the weight is shell. You could get tiger or argentinian shrimp for the same price per pound if not cheaper and you get 3 times more edible meat by weight.

I’m with the truffles guy saying truffles with the caveat that perhaps I haven’t had real truffles properly.
Otherwise, I find KFC too overrated. All fast food chains in general, but KFC in particular gets a hype at least in my circles. From what I hear, you are buying bliss and a heavenly experience in a bucket. Come on. It’s just chicken bits with nothing special about them, in fact the cheap deep frying oils can upset my stomach easily.
I’ve always felt KFC is just rated. Obviously the ads by KFC for KFC will claim it to be the best food ever invented but in terms of how people seem to perceive it and how I perceive it, the experience tastes and feels like what it is. It’s mostly enjoyable, fatty salty meat and it’s deep fried which is kinda the fast food signature taste and texture. It’s got a lot going for it, in the way that fried chicken generally as a food does, but it’s also extremely poor quality fried chicken and rarely very fresh but that all balances out to something that pretty much works for what you want out of it and it doesn’t seem to me like anyone expects much more of it.
A teeny, tiny bit of real truffle on something that’s labeled truffle is fine. Huge amounts of truffle oil on everything sucks! And stinks.
Ill die on this hill btw.
When a KFC meal is perfect its one of the best fried chicken experiences on earth. When you get everything fresh, well seasoned, drink is ice cold… Bruh… Problem is it almost never is either the bun is stale, the chips were cold, the chicken was dry, the burger has just way too fucking much mayo… theres always fucking something.
But that one perfect Zinger box you had 18 months ago will bring you back monthly to try again.
Chicken loot box
All the chain chicken joints (Popeyes, Bojangles, Dave’s, etc) taste so salty as it is, but KFC is off the charts too salty for me to enjoy.
The best fried chicken (for me) is actually from a gas station chain here, Royal Farms, which I coincidentally had tonight!
I still wouldn’t put it as an S-Tier food or anything, but I think it’s well ahead of the bigger brands, and especially KFC.
I like Popeye’s spicy fried chicken (pieces, not tenders) and their blackened tenders.
I used to get the blackened tenders, but I must be the only one because they always took so much longer to get than the regular tenders. They’re pretty alright though otherwise.
Yeah, always have to wait but at least they’re fresh.
