I liked Kenny Rogers roasters.I drove a tractor trailer for Sysco foods back in the early 90s,and I delivered to many of them ,and they were all clean,very professionally run and had good food.I think they suffered the same fate as Boston Market,it’s the same food you made at home,and people like to eat things out that they would most likely not make at home(ok,I know your mother would most likely not wood fire roast a chicken,but it is basically roasted chicken).I think many people,not all,but many people eat out at fast food places and eat burgers,fries,pizza etc because they crave the greasy junk food experience.I liked Kenny Rogers roasters way more than Boston Market,and wished they were still around here.I have first hand experience having owned a fried chicken and rib restaurant that also sold smoked rotisserie roasted chicken that was delicious.We sold 10 times more fried chicken than we did roasted and both were delicious,and obviously the roasted was healthier,but people like that sinfully delicious fried chicken better.We eventually discontinued selling the rotisserie chicken which was fine by me it was more time consuming to prepare,and the rotiserie was a pain in the
a$% to keep clean.My henny penny pressure fryers pumped out 40 pieces of chicken each every 15 minutes,and sometimes on busy nights we could not keep up,I miss that place.
