Posted July 27, 2006 at 01:45:10 PM by Bean in the Plugs category Work's been pretty hectic/busy for the past month or so. Today, I was feeling stressed and a tiny bit crazy in my brainhole, so I decided to head to DQ for a 6-piece chicken strip basket. For those of you who may not know, this is a drinkless combo-meal (ingenuis) that comes with 6 strips of chicken, fries, two peices of toast, and a tub of gravy (yes, gravy). It's great, and I highly reccomend it.
A DQ6PCSB will usually cause my spirits to rise - and today was no exception. It was delicious. But get this: THEY GAVE ME 7 STRIPS INSTEAD OF 6! Hell yes! Mood++ PS - It should be noted that since I noticed Lucky (thats what I call #7) late in the meal, my gravy was not partitioned properly. I allocated the portion sizes based on 6 - so Lucky had to meet his demise un-gravy-coated. But still... 7 STRIPS! No complaints here.

I used to work at DQ back in the high school days as a cook and the chicken strip basket + small Butterfinger blizzard was my meal of choice while on break.... occasionally, I also added in one of our Double Cheeseburgers -- all nice and freshly cooked by yours truly... In any event, back then, there were only 4 chicken strips to a basket and I made sure to allocate enough gravy at the end for dipping in my Texas Toast.... good times, thanks for the trip down memory lane for me Bean bigD (July 27, 2006 at 05:31:50 PM): I've never had no chicken strip basket. In fact, I can only remember eating non-ice cream at DQ one tim. I was probably 12-14 and playing summer league baseball. We were at a tournament near Marion, IN and our team went there between games. I ate a triple cheeseburger and then started on the mound in the next game. the end celeb (July 27, 2006 at 06:26:26 PM): I like the chicken strip basket, but I must admit that DQ gravy is trachy. I still eat it, but it's just like eating thick tasteless goo. stef (July 28, 2006 at 07:48:47 AM): As a general rule I don't eat gravy. Which appears to be abnormal in southern IN, where everyone covers everything in gravy. bean (July 28, 2006 at 09:31:57 AM): C1: Oh yeah, the toast was the first thing to get dipped. The remainder got divvied into sixths for the strips. I can't say that DQ has th ebest food in general, but the strips basket is top notch. Not to mention the peanut butter-placenta blizzard! dirt (July 28, 2006 at 10:57:48 AM): Think I'm confused by the inclusion of toast with the meal. Don't get me wrong, I like toast, 'specially for moppin' up gravy with, maybe it's just cuz you don't see any other fast food joint offer toast as a side. We have a DQ here, may subscribe at lunchtime. celeb (July 30, 2006 at 01:23:23 PM): They offered (and may still do) something like the "Fiesta" chicken strip basket which I tried once, at an additional 30 sents. This bought me some spices poured on the chicken, but came at the expense of french fries and instead they gave some colored corn chips with the same spices. Corn chips != valid replacement for french fries, esp for additional cost. I still am bitter at DQ for this. | Categories Archives August 2010 July 2010 June 2010 May 2010 April 2010 March 2010 August 2009 July 2009 June 2009 May 2009 April 2009 March 2009 February 2009 January 2009 December 2008 September 2008 August 2008 July 2008 June 2008 May 2008 April 2008 March 2008 February 2008 January 2008 December 2007 November 2007 October 2007 September 2007 August 2007 July 2007 June 2007 May 2007 April 2007 March 2007 February 2007 January 2007 December 2006 November 2006 October 2006 September 2006 August 2006 July 2006 June 2006 May 2006 April 2006 March 2006 February 2006 January 2006 December 2005 November 2005 October 2005 September 2005 August 2005 July 2005 June 2005 May 2005 April 2005 March 2005 February 2005 January 2005 December 2004 November 2004 October 2004 September 2004 August 2004 July 2004 June 2004 May 2004 April 2004 March 2004 February 2004 January 2004 December 2003 November 2003 October 2003 September 2003 August 2003 July 2003 June 2003 May 2003 April 2003 March 2003 Admin |
