Calling this a separate
restaurant is kind of misleading. It's technically a Kenny Rogers
Roasters Express, which is contained within a Nathan's Famous, which
in itself is contained within a food court, which isn't contained
within a shopping mall. It has terrible written all over it. From
what we can tell, this is the only Kenny Rogers left in Manhattan,
but this ain't the KR of old. We ate at Mr. Rogers Roasters back in
the mid-nineties at one of his joints on the UES, and despite being
completely fucked up drunk, we seem to remember thinking that wood
did indeed make it good. Judging from the strange placement inside
of another establishment, we can only assume that some huge food organization
took over Kenny Rogers and just kept the name--as God knows that Kenny
Rogers name really has huge cache. There is no longer any wood involved
in the cooking of the man's chicken. There is no care involved. There's
nothing but disappointment and a strangely coincidental similarity
between their overly seasoned chicken sandwich and that of McDonalds.
Even Kenny has to know that it's time to fold 'em. [MF] |
