KFC

For those of you pining for the threat of violence with your disposable lunch, this is the location for you! Situated in the heart of the burgeoning Fashion District, but still retaining some of Queen West’s «olde-​timey» local colour, this KFC/​Taco Bell location at first beguiles with its anachronistic, chalet-​façade (surprisingly unmarked by graffiti) and array of inexpensive offerings. However, less than two minutes into my repast (I sat at the less-​dirty of the two window tables, hoping for a quick exit), a lumbering street local bounded into the store, only to be taunted by a cohort outside. Some pounding on the window ensued, and the lumbering one headed for the exit, frightening a woman and her toddler presumably waiting for the washroom to be vacated. He turned at the fire exit, headed back towards me, only to be blocked by the man from outside. Swearing and pushing erupted, the smaller man landing in the chair opposite me. The larger man then returned to the fire exit, further terrifying the (still waiting) mother and child, and exited onto Augusta, triggering the alarm. The thing is, the staff took a good LONG time to investigate – presumably, the whine of the claxon is a recurring element of their work day? As for the food? It was my first Taco Bell combo in more than a decade – and it utterly failed to deliver the forbidden tang I would expect from Yum! Brands. Didn’t I read somewhere that Gidget the Chihuahua died of a stroke?

bad place to go! 15 seconds walk from my house (YES), but I DONT ever go! Just worst food ever! Bad service too, when I asked some questions about items, they were so annoyed n gave me hard time. Lst weekend when my friend came to visit me, he grabbed some quick wraps, then 20 min later he had intense stomach pain. And he was like:“I don’t feel very social right now!” LOL. yes he went home right there. What the heck, was suppose to go coffee n walk around downtown. lol For that KFC sucks because it carries Taco Bell lol.

Another entry from my Facebook’s Veggie Burger Chronicles (I’m working on making the 2, this one and my FB’s identical). Please note, I’m not rating the restaurant, just the burger.
Vegetarian Burger @ KFC:
–Toppings: Lettuce. It comes standard with mayo, but I can’t have mayo so I had it with BBQ sauce instead.
–Patty: Fried, thus crunchy. It’s white and flaky on the inside
–Price: ~$ 3.66 (just the burger) before or after tax. It came up to $ 3.69 at the Scarborough location I visited. The downtown Queen Street location came up to $ 3.66 after taxes.
–Verdict: It tastes like CHICKEN! LOL. It’s entirely different from all the other veggie burgers that I had in the past because of the white patty; veggie burgers are conventionally brown. I wasn’t impressed that it came with only shredded lettuce and mayo (although I skipped the mayo). The patty itself did not taste bad, it was very good actually, but I can’t figure out what it’s made of. One good thing about the KFC veggie burger is that it’s virtually unknown, though it’s available at most locations, which means you can always count on it being hot and crispy, because they’ll make it fresh for you. Depending on your patience and hunger, this could be a bad thing because you need to wait 3 – 4 minutes for the burger to cook. For my meat eater friends and my vegan/​vegetarian friends who miss meat, neither of you can go wrong with this choice! TRY IT!
