I quite like the fried chicken at . It's crispy, not oily, and not saturated with salt, which is a problem with KFC's Original Recipe. You get 10 pieces of Pig chicken for $21, which is a decent price for decent chicken. But the headliner at Pig is pork. They do an excellent job with their pork ribs -- tender and juicy, with a light coating of sauce. The edges are sometimes dry, but I'm willing to overlook that because the rest of the rib slab is so good.

Just had a McDonald's Angus burger for the first time. I was feeling hungry and everything was closed, except McDonald's on Pandora, which is open 24 hours these days. The Angus -- $4.99 for the no-cheese -- is just possibly the most unpleasant hamburger I've ever had. The bun is biggest problem -- it has an offputting texture. So, if I find myself in a McDonald's again, I'm sticking with the reliable Quarter Pounder.
