Bojangles: A Yankee's Review

I would have to drive 20 minutes to the hood to eat at Popeyes

I was working in Sunnyside, WA. It's the only one around here I know of.

Had Popeye's chicken nuggets yesterday. As good as any I've had.

Serendipitous moment yesterday after my essay on Bojeezees offerings...

My son goes back to his mom's after a trip to the Motherland, and of course, as teens are known to do, does not let me know he's home safe and sound...So I text his mom, and that fucker is too busy grubbin' down on a cajun filet biscuit to text his father. I get it, though.

My local Bojangles, I swear they dip the biscuit in clarified butter before wrapping them up. Your mouth feels like it’s coated with something after eating a biscuit. I wish there were Hardee’s in Atlanta. I looked and the closest one to me would be driving out to like Stone Mountain

Burn that place to the ground. Fuck an overcooked biscuit.


Not bad at all...I am starting to figure out which day when I'm in the States I can schedule my heart palpitations

Yeah. That one sucks, for sure.

Their chicken biscuit is legit. And, not all biscuit makers are created equal. We had a Hardee’s out off Battlefield in what was once Great Bridge that had a lady who was making biscuits there for 30 years. She made the best biscuits anywhere. Our local Bojangles tends to overcook them; apparently the locals like this, as I’ve seen many ask for a “burnt biscuit” on more than one occasion.

Their dirty rice is legit, as are their fries, which remind me a bit of Rally’s (or Checkers) fries.

Is it bad that I’m contemplating placing an order to arrive tomorrow at noon?



Side Note: One of the more hilarious moments I had in college, after a night of officious alcohol consumption, in which the bartender — upon me picking up my car up the next day — told me I tagged a cougar in the bathroom the night before, and had no recollection of anything past Heavy Seas beer + shots + ?????. Apparently, she called me a cab. That’s not the strange part though… though hardly my norm. No… I woke up, with someone banging on the door at 11:00 AM, with pizza. Which was amazing that I had the drunken foresight and wherewithal to order that shit for 11 fucking AM. Looking through my now-shamed jeans, in an effort to find cash to pay the man, I found two fifty dollar bills… which were not there while I was at the bar. The bartender informed me that she stuffed that in my pants as I got in the cab. Apparently, in lieu of a tip, I left one of my flip flops in the cab… which I later retrieved, through fate itself, a week later. But yeah… waking up, hungover as fuck, to pizza you didn’t remember ordering? Why do I always forget to do this?

During my dark years, Bojangles was a staple for me, 'cause there's one down the street I have to use to get home from work/bars. Now I have 20 restaurants, three grocery stores, and delivery services...So, I don't fuck with it the same. The chicken is fine...No different than most other fast food chicken, other than the spice mixture. Bojangles probably has a little more heat than others. I used to get tailgate packs once a week, or so. Then I'd eat on that for three or four days. The fries wouldn't make it through the night.

The fries, with that seasoning, are fucking delicious. They might be my favorite fast food fry now that I'm thinking about it and salivating as I go.

Some people love their sweet tea, but sweet tea makes you slow (TM), and I refuse to drink that shit....I like my feet.

The biscuits are truly what separate Bojangles from anywhere else. If you just want a jelly biscuit, you'll never find an easier way to go. It's fast food, but the biscuit guy at most locations is the most coveted position in the kitchen...No joke. Those guys work magic, and each batch is hand made. I'm not a huge bread eater (I prefer to drink my carbs, or eat fries), but I do love a fresh biscuit from Bojangles.

But, in order of importance on their menu:

1. Cajun Filet Chicken Biscuit (with egg and double cheese will destroy any hangover...and any ability to stay awake)
2. Fries
3. Dirty Rice - I know this seems high, but it is really good. Especially when you are high yourself.
4. Bo' Rounds - mini greasy hashbrowns with heavy onion and garlic powder. I know a few people that would put these as their #1
5. Cajun Chicken Sandwich - The less hangovery version of #1

They are opening some Bojangles here in Dallas. I think I had it once in Georgia. I remember being sick afterwards but that might have been due to alcohol. What's good there?

TKK Fried Chicken from Taiwan and Jollibee from the Philippines opened in Dallas. I liked the chicken at TKK better. Jollibee is a little bit of a fever dream.

Say this five times before bed each night next week.

Chew boom sounds like some odd sex term.

Odd..?

I get a ham biscuit every time I go back home. The cajun filet is very good but heavy. I used to eat breakfast there once a week. Not the biggest fan of their fried chicken, though.
