HURRICANES LOUNGE XLVIII

[WreckingCrew]

I woke up and chose violence.


Biscuitville > BoJangles

Your opinion means nothing after 2PM, you'll starve while I'm licking cajun seasoning off my dirty fingers

 

[DaveG]

Popeyes chicken > BoJangles

not gonna lie, it's location dependent but not entirely inaccurate.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

not gonna lie, it's location dependent but not entirely inaccurate.

If you like that one thing on the Popeyes menu that everybody likes, sure. But if you're taking about actual fried chicken... man, it ain't close. And no sense even talking about biscuits.

But again: Krispy Krunchy Chicken is the new champ.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

not gonna lie, it's location dependent but not entirely inaccurate.

Good Bojangles is peak, but actually getting good Bojangles is like playing darts blindfolded while extremely drunk.

 

[hblueridgegal]

If your restaurant doesn't get advertised exclusively on a Food This Exit sign on the interstate, then your restaurant is too bougie to belong in this conversation.

Krispy Krunchy Chicken for the win. You got to get that shit from a gas station, and it's amazing.

I will concede that they are still niche...supposed to have 200 locations by year end. They do share the parking lot with First Watch.

Oh shit! Well, when there's one in the triangle, come on back with it.

This is Mrs. Hank's biggest challenge. We drove through our local last week, the one at 70 and Miami, and she got the worst boberry biscuit she'd ever had.

"HOW CAN A BISCUIT BE BURNT AND RAW AT THE SAME TIME???"

"I dunno baby. Have half my bacon egg and cheese biscuit."

 

[Unsustainable]

I think BoJa is too Saturated here and doesn't try to stand out anymore.

 

[hblueridgegal]

Jackie's looking for pointers.

And that right there is how you stay married. NOT "Well, if the oven temp is too high it basically burns the outside before it has a chance to cook the inside. You should have gotten a bacon egg and cheese biscuit like me; it's delicious."

Jackie's looking for pointers.

She's a welcome sight on the sidelines. And that has nothing to do with how she looks. (Okay, maybe that last part isn't true; let's face it, deep down most men are pigs)

So when do you don your Stormy suit?

That's why I said it's location dependent. A few years ago I would have said it's no contest, but the last few years Bo's has been very inconsistent for me. When it's good it's still no contest but when it's not Popeyes is legitimately better by a good margin.

Fwiw I'm not all about the sandwich game there but their tenders are definitely better than Bo's supremes, like not even a contest.

But yeah Krispy Krunchy is going hard and taking names. Gas station chicken has no business going this hard.

Bingo

 

[MyLuckyPuck]

I’m actually not watching tonight. Show some moxy Canes and get back in the series.

I’m pretty sure the pandemic killed the Bojangles franchise. I’m not sure what was done between the beforetimes and afterwards, but it definitely got worse.

That being said, good cajun fries and their sweet tea is worth playing the odds.

 

[To Be Determined]

Hot take incoming...

For straight up fried chicken, the best you can get at a drive through in the triangle is at smithfield's chicken and bbq.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Bojangles has always been highly highly location dependent. As far back as I can remember, they have always straddled the line between excellent and horrible, depending on which one you’re at.

There are certain locations, like the one on Western Blvd, where the experience is godly.

There are a lot of other locations, like pretty much any of them in the hood or on the interstate, where the service is Popeye’s tier and the food was made 2 hours ago.

That’s part of the appeal of the whole thing. Much like Popeye’s or Waffle House, it’s a roll of the dice and eventually you figure out which locations are the good ones.

 

[Tryamw]

A lot of them only do appointments until like 12, and then only walk-ins after 12...but people get there at 7AM to wait in line for the 12PM walk-in, so if you don't get there by like 8AM you'll be 30-40 back in line and may not get in before closing. I made an appointment about 3 months in advance for 7:30 and thankfully walked out by 8, but there were already 15-20 people in the "walk-in" line outside

There were no appointments within 100 miles

SCNB is the best fast food - period. Ende. Full stop. The end.

This. The one by the airport in RIchmond VA is one just like this. It's basically popeyes.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

I’m sure everybody is all angsty after the game last night, but today is a beautiful day and I hope y’all are enjoying it. I drove up to Hanging Rock to enjoy the view from the top of the world. Don’t sweat the small stuff, and definitely don’t get too upset over a silly hockey game. There are so many better things to do.

 

[raynman]

I’ve switched to biscuitville from bojangles when I go out for a breakfast treat because of the dice roll.

What is this Krispy Krunchy chicken that’s been mentioned? We don’t have that in Eastern NC that I know of.

EDIT: apparently I’m wrong we do have a Krispy Krunchy Chicken. It’s only open 10-1? Very strange.

It is a franchise that focuses on gas stations. Kind of like Hunt Brothers Pizza, except chicken. The only one I've tried was on 95 between Richmond and Petersburg, but holy shit was it great. There's one that just opened in Durham that I'm gonna try soon.
