Wet Chicken

How could it be? Here we were, concerned that the rain would dash our weekly ritual of Kickin’ Chicken Friday (KCF). Rain + parking downtown = just not gonna happen.

As luck would have it, we found a parking spot immediately outside the restaurant and didn’t even get wet.

Surely we would have a long wait for a table to seat 6 people. Not so – a large table awaited us in the crowded restaurant. OK, then it’s definitely going take a while for the food to come, right? Think again sucka – service was excellent.

All in all, it was shaping up to be the perfect KCF. Then we got slapped with the bill. Eating a small chicken fingers at Kickin’ Chicken is now equivalent to paying full price for a large Dominos pizza (full price pizza folks… not the “I’m a college student… I swear” price).

Is this the trend for King Street? The city cleans it up a bit and gets rid of the mystery smell and restaurants feel the need to jack their prices up 20%? Weak.
