I’ve heard that the quality of KFC has diminished in the US (despite that being where it started) but doing well in other regions (like in Asia or Middle East) as the menu is adapted to their palate (food exclusives that don’t exist in the USA), even the marketing campaigns do differ based on region.

Japan has their own portrayal of Colonel Sanders, they even have a buffet in some locations than being just a fast food joint. Have you been to a KFC overseas? If so, how different is their menu (regarding the food they sell) or regional pricing (are prices cheaper than in the US)?

I’ve been to a KFC in Thailand, and the quality is much better than having it in the United States (I wonder why?). They have a spicy chicken bowl for example, even for what you’re getting: it’s cheaper for more items (while ripped off in the USA for barely any food on the tray).

    Out of all the fried chicken around me I rank as follows:

    #1 The independent convenience store near me makes up their own batter. Rank A.

    #2: 7/11 yeah I can’t believe it either. Rank B+ and they’re the cheapest. Kinda everything else is overpriced.

    #3: Mary Browns. Used to be higher but got worse lately. Rank C-

    #4: KFC. I don’t buy it anymore. Bland. Rank D. Sometimes I got a Big Crunch when the KFC was a combo building with Taco Bell but they killed off combo stores I guess. I only ever went for Taco Bell.

    #5: Popeye’s. Fucking awful. Actually grosses me out. F rank.

      I’ve always wondered why are these people going to KFC instead of Popeyes. Popeyes is better than KFC in every possible way.

      Is it a regional thing maybe?
