Fast Food/Takeaways and Restaurants

Yeah, there was one next to St George’s Leagues Club at Kogarah that I think closed a year or two ago.

Shame, I loved Sizzlers as a kid with their cheesy toast and soft serve ice cream bar.

From memory, Carramar Sizzler closed down in October 2015 and has since been replaced by a Rashay’s.

Yeah, that is/was Sydney’s last Sizzler standing. As for whether or not it’s still open, perhaps a good question for Media Spy’s resident Macarthur region correspondent, @TV-Expert! :slight_smile:

Campbelltown is still listed on the Sizzler website.

KFC 9 pieces of chicken for $9.95. If my toilet could talk, it’d be swearing at me never to do that again. :nauseated_face::joy:

You ate all 9 pieces yourself in one meal?

Three is all I can handle, I haven’t had those for a while now either.

I’d like to see a post from you not involving bodily functions or mentioning pornography.

The KFC batter is probably both the best tasting and the worst for your health.

might have a correlation there :thinking:

Sometimes those chicken pieces can taste a bit TOO greasy.

and then it sometimes gets caught in your throat and just makes you feel too sick. Surely there’s a way to airfry it as well as it being quick, cheap and nasty for the same price or whatever

As it’s been said before, there are many ways chicken can be cooked beautifully but KFC isn’t one of them - far too greasy and sickly IMO! :face_vomiting:

For the most part, I prefer The Golden Arches for my fix of cheap, tasty and unhealthy food since I’ve rarely had problems with them.

What makes no sense to me is that McDonald’s, KFC, Hungry Jack’s, Red Rooster and all the other fast food chains source their chicken from the same suppliers yet KFC manages to completely turn theirs into a greasy disgusting mess. It smells nice, but that’s all.

That’s very true re McDonald’s.

It’s very safe in that respect ie. little chance of food poisoning.

There are countless other fried chicken options out there (at least in the major cities, fried chicken of the Taiwanese (Hotstar) or Korean variety) that are vastly superior and generally don’t cost any more than KFC would in the first place.

KFC Original Recipe is always either a greasy mess or dried up and disgusting. Hot and Spicy is at least edible (still don’t understand why they won’t do it year round nation wide).

The Zambrero near me in Malvern shut down a couple of months ago which was a shame because I preferred it to most Mexican chains. To me it was a bit less Mexican and a bit more on the healthier side to the other chains which I liked, especially their black rice and wraps.

The only time I could ever bring myself to eat KFC is after a big night out and I still feel disgusting after it.

That Hot Star huge piece of chicken is sooo good! I know it can’t be good for you but I’ve tried it a couple of times. I also tried Gami for the first time the other day. A lot of people rave about it but I just found it gross. Fried chicken dipped in sauce pretty much just didn’t do it for me. We even ordered this potato bowl thing and the mash was full of cream, sweet chilli sauce, cheese etc. Gross.

…is what I miss at local pubs/bistros! Used to always come complementary with the meal paynent, now been rid :pensive:

Well, at least in my local areas. I’m sure many still operate like that though.

No nothing like & not as good as a Red Rooster Tropicana box, it was just a chicken fillet, lettuce, pineapple & mayo on a bun. It tasted ok, but it would have been better if they fried the pineapple piece & if they used a fresh chicken fillet rather than a frozen chicken fillet.

You still find similar tropical chicken burgers occasionally at fish and chip shops / milk bars / charcoal chicken shops.

Sounds like The Works burger from KFC - later renamed Classic Works after they tried to axe it once but brought it back before killing it again.

Lot’s of places still do the complimentary roll and butter.
