It's always nice to
have a neighborhood place that serves rotisserie chicken and sides.
I grew up in LA surrounded by places like El
Pollo Loco, California
Chicken Cafe, Koo
Koo Roo, and a bunch of others that are probably gone at this
point. They served healthy, rotisserie chicken and either pita bread
or tortillas to stuff it in, with some potato, pasta or veggie sides.
While Roosters isn't even close to as good or healthy as the good
old CCC (Roosters seems to induce heart burn in two out three people
surveyed), it does provide the neighborhood with a nice, inexpensive
fast food alternative that has gone missing since Kenny Rogers up
and abandoned his Roasters.
Now somebody needs to take the CA Chicken Cafe formula and run with
it. I guarantee a place like that would make enough dough that it
would replace pizza as the businessman-in-a-rush lunch of choice.
