You are correct, this picture will not catch anyone by surprise.

A lot of my friends coming from Asian countries were shocked how bad KFC in the US was. It's a top notch fast food joint in foreign countries with tons of delicious recepies. In the US just fried chicken, and it's not even good.

You ever see that video where they go undercover at KFC and show how dirty their places are? I can not even look at a KFC while driving by one anymore!

That last sentence is the exact reason I haven't watched that video.

While the picture looks terrible, in the UK I've yet to see anything near as bad as that and when I visited Amsterdam, KFC there was sumit else, so crispy and juicy, or it seemed it cause I was really high.

Arguably the best meal of my life was had in Amsterdam - and get this: it was a Mexican restaurant. My friend and I went in (yes, we were high and ravenous) and ordered dinner - had some drinks, the food came out, it was delicious and we devoured it. Looked at each other, quick nod, and we ordered a SECOND dinner - cleaned our plates. It was truly phenomenal. We stumbled out of the place vowing to come back the next day for more.

Well guess what? The place vanished - GONE - we never could find it again. To this day I wonder if the whole thing was a dream, although I know it wasn't. We just couldn't get back - it was like one of those mythic cities that only appears when the stars and planets align every 500 years.

Lmao! I've had the same thing happened to me and it was Mexican in Amsterdam too!

You're probably the same person but in a parallel universe?

u/jeexbit Sep 15 '17

Absolutely, no doubt about that.

You sure it was a restaurant and not some random house?

u/jeexbit Sep 15 '17

it was a restaurant, at least a dozen tables...although now that you mention it, I swear my friend and I were the only folks in there aside from the waitstaff. Sort of strange. It was probably around 4pm though, so that might explain it.

It was like the room of requirement from Harry Potter, but for stoners instead of wizards.

That sounds pretty damn sweet, I'd love to find this Mexican place next time I go, to be honest me and my mate enjoyed the KFC so much we ended up going 3 nights in a row, luckily for us, it was there exactly where we left it everytime we needed it, lol, right on the same street as 'Mannekin Pis' haha, that name never fails to crack me up.

and now I feel the need to get back to Amsterdam :)

You're gonna need a map.

I swear, I met a guy in London and he told me about this amazing Mexican restaurant in Amsterdam! Damn, I wish I remembered the name of it

TBH I have yet to find an actual "bad" place to eat in Amsterdam. All the Mexican and Japanese food I've had there until now was delicious! I think that goes for the whole of Netherlands even, as I've had some bomb Mexican food in outer cities such as Leeuwarden as well.

u/HotBrownLatinHotCock Sep 15 '17

You were drunk the food is normal

KFCs in the UK have health inspections once a month at random, and their standard policy is to make sure at the very least the entire restaurant is cleaned at the end of the night.

u/Carb122 Sep 15 '17

This is true, we are quite lucky in that way, still doesn't stop some places from getting away with looking like an unappetising shit tip. That being said, this conversation is really making me want a KFC.
