At Lunch Now: Free KFC Grilled Chicken-Gate Day 2
No riots today… Just a quiet, peaceful line of freeloaders that stretches down 42nd St. AND AROUND THE CORNER (onto Vanderbilt). Today they are only letting a few people in at a time so the line is moving super slow. I mean seriously people. This meal costs $5!!! You have to be the cheapest person of all time to put up with this nonsense.
I of course will be waiting in line for my free chicken. (What can I say? It’s what I do…)
UPDATE: 55 mins (10 of it in the rain) for $4 worth of chicken and you don’t even get to choose your sides! Worth it? Fuck no! What’s that? You already knew that? Oh. I guess it could have been worse… I could have been the guy behind me who waited all that time only to realize you needed a coupon (which he didn’t have.)

What a line… you can get some for free just by bowing to the Saudi King too, you know

Wayne: Wow that made no sense at all!

I just went to Green Cafe. Another generic midtown deli, not the Europa generic but the asian owned generic, udon and sushi bar and all. The food is just decent, but at 4.50 the price is right, and even so I wouldn’t go there even once a week. For 9 the price is wayy overpriced and I give this place two months before it closes down. For the best of the generic asian delis I’d go to old bridge

Zach?!? you wouldn’t act on my free bread bowl tip, but you will stand in line for airbrushed grill marks!!
the nerve!
-
maybe i should have dared you?
-
that’s the typical NY attitude, one waits on line without knowing what’s it for. yes, you need a coupon, voucher, letter from God to get this freebie.
-
5 bucks worth of free KFC is not even remotely close to 1 hour of my time. I just don’t get it.
-
free just tastes better peep-pos
-
you should have just gone to jump on the big bed and get a free iTunes gift card, like i tried to.
-
El Pollo Loco twittered that on Monther’s Day they’ll honor KFC’s coupons… http://www.consumerist.com
-
Is there an El Pollo Loco around here??!?!?!? ARRRRRRIIIIIIIBAAA!!!!!
Wayne we be interested he’s dated some crazy chicks.
-
what started as a promotion now just gives people negative emotions when they think about KFC. Oprah you’re a fiasco waiting to happen.
-
So these silly fuckers queued up for and hour to save $1.01?
I’d Neuter the fucking lot of them.
Muppets.
-
There’s ONE Pollo Loco within 100 miles of the city…thanks for the awesome update Lou!
-
To the unemployed people for whom a free meal from KFC means something: I hope you got your grub on.
To the rest of you wankers waiting in that line: you are a collective disgrace to the human race.
-
Correction…it was free with a coupon?
I’m not sure if that makes it ok or worse.
-
I wish there was a Pollo Loco near here! Now that’s some good grilled chicken…
@DDR – The economy could be stellar right now and there would still be lines. It’s free food given out by Oprah…
-
Free and long lines go together.
regardless of economy, they could be giving out condoms
and they’d still be an elderly woman waiting on line for them.
I see it every summer at the health fairs. Condom, personal lube and a safe sex booklet. -
I think what makes Pollo Loco taste so good is that MSG/crack like seasoning they rub on it. It’s like Goya’s Sazon, but way better.
-
Wow dude… crappy free food is not worth that wait.
-
Too bad cali has a major stranglehold on all the pollo locos. I’d like to try them too.
Frim wikipedia: In the United States, the El Pollo Loco chain primarily operates in the Southwest and California, with three locations in the Chicago area, four in metro Atlanta, and one in Connecticut at the Foxwoods Resort & Casino in Ledyard. El Pollo Loco opened its first restaurant in Washington state on May 5, 2008 (Cinco de Mayo) in Vancouver, Washington. As of Sunday May 3, 2009 the Vancouver location has closed its doors. On February 2, 2009, El Pollo Loco also announced the opening of its first restaurant in New Jersey. At least 15 El Pollo Loco restaurants are planned for northern and central New Jersey, and Long Island, New York. El Pollo Loco is also opening a new restaurant in St. Louis, Missouri.
We need an In-N-Out burger too. LOLOL.

Anyone who waits on line for an hour a few dollar’s worth of over-processed food deserves to get rained on. A lot.
-
what sides were they giving out?
-
mashed potatoes and cole slaw. suuuuucked.
the biscuit was the saving grace.
-
Looks like they can’t keep up with it.. they are giving rainchecks now… and suspending the promotion.
no efing way! the economy must really be sucky if
employed people are waiting on lines like that.
they better have chicken for me next week.
I printed my legit coups yesterday, no pdf copy,
real wifi coupons. I’m not cheap, just penniless.
