Hey Fry Friends,
It has been a while since my last post but this post is a MUST!!!! Last week after picking up my sister from JWU...lol...Johnson and Whales University in Charlotte, NC we stopped at Bojangles in Concord, NC. We really stopped because it was too much traffic, but I never turn down an opportunity to eat papas fritas. When we arrived at Bojangles it took too long to get our food. I mean drive thru's are meant to be quick. Not at this bojangles, after waiting for like 20 minutes we finally got our food...only for me to have a disappointing meal. The chicken was dry and not tasty. I just had to chew and swallow that hard fried to a nasty crisp chicken. Then the unthinkable occured>>> the FRIES were hard and dried up...(OMG)----THE WORST!!!! I mean Bojangles really?
Steak Fries...oh I love them...you bite into them and get the best woof of potato's yum yum. They usually have a great crust around them and are soft in the inside like a twinkie. Thats only when steak fries are cooked to perfection. When they have sat out for a while they will be limp and soggy...when they have been overcooked you will bite into some lovely fried grease or hard teeth breaking potato's. But when they have been overcooked and leftout you will get exactly what I got at bojangles...cold potato's that you can barely chew that is rubbery too thick to swallow and just down right NASTY.
I think bojangles choosing steak fries to serve is an amazing and very smart choice. Usually steak fries are eaten with meaty meals. They are a heavy potato and really conclude a wonderful meal with chicken or beef. Its a meaty choice and a great choice for a chicken joint. To top off the steak fries they also have an amazing spicy/salty/cajun seasoning. With the amazing choice of fries and a great meal with wonderful seasoning you would think that this would be an enjoyable.
Now this Bojangles may have just had a bad day...but when you have steak fries as a product and its a recession you want to make sure that your clients are satisfied and served properly prepared, hot and fresh foods. Plus when the food is nasty and has to be thrown away...what a waste.
This Bojangles gets and FFFFFFFFF not an "F" for FRIES but and "F" for FAILURE...they failed to really treat their fries as a great precious commodity that it is. Fries for some people are just a quick snack but for me it completes the perfect meal. It is my chocolate, its like my ice cream, its the cherry on top of a cake...it makes a day better, it turns a blah meal into a FABULOUS MEAL!!!
Bojangles manager if you are out there and read this blog please do better for people who have a fry fetish like me and actually enjoy eating there. I cant believe I wasted my $3.00 on the worst fries I have tasted in a long time.
Until next time my fry lovers!!!
