Laurent du Var:
You write you have a hankerin' for Kentucky Fried Chicken. I must admit to liking the Original Recipe quite a bit myself.
But, I must give the French their due, or at least influence. For their influence has created one of the best fast food chains ever to grace Our Fair Land:
Popeyes.
Fried chicken with a cajun twist.
They produce the best spicy fried chicken and their red beans and rice is a meal unto itself.
Good eats if you have to eat on the go.
