El Pollo Loco to KFC: I Feel Sorry For Ya Mama

Aw snap, chicken fight!



El Pollo Loco and KFC are in old fashioned throwdown over free chicken. KFC customers have gone crazy over the company's recent free chicken coupons, but apparently the coupons won't be honored on Mother's Day. So El Pollo Loco has decided to honor KFC's coupons on Mother's Day for their customers -- whether you're a mother or not!

Your move, Colonel.

17. GREAT MARKETING BY EL POLLO. FREE TASTE TEST TO DRIVE MILLIONS OF CUSTOMERS TO THEIR RESTAURANTS OVER KFC. THEY ARE BETTING THESE CUSTOMERS WILL SWITCH TO EL POLLO OVER LOSER OPRAH!!! AND OF COURSE OPRAH WASN'T PAYING FOR THE CHICKEN ANYWAY... IF SO AT POPULATION OF 306 MIL, OPRAH WOULD HAVE TO SPEND SOME 1.8 BILLION DOLLARS. THINK SHE IS FRONTING THAT? TRY AGAIN... THINK NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

24. #16 above...It was not EPL that donated for Prop.8, but a person. EPL didn't donate at all.
For everyone else, I have sat back and watched this unfold and am extremely surprised at KFC for acting so ridiculous. Who in their right mind offers anything free, except on Mother’s Day. I applaud EPL for taking up the slack for KFC’s downfall. ELP is a much smaller operation with on a tenth or less of the stores that KFC has and is stepping up and showing KFC how it should be done.

Way to take the high road EPL!

For those that haven’t been paying attention…it’s FLAME GRILLED….and DELICIOUS!!!

27. i am going to drive to el pollo in north bergen, nj! with my kfc coupon on sunday WITH MY MOM glad that they have one in new jersey now!!

28. KFC actually thought that people would actually say " You're not accepting this coupon? Ok let me just order it anyway"
The truth is that when I went I saw 9 out of 10 people with those coupons . All turned around and walked out. Some guy was even at the drive thru and told them to cancel the order and drove off. Who ever posted that PDF coupon on Oprah is a huge dumbass. I actually tried the chicken like a week ago and liked it. I havent had KFC in years because its all fried .

29. After reading some more stuff and watching a couple of videos here and there..this "grilled" chicken isnt as healthy as they tell you.it wont mess up ur heart like fried would,but it will mess up your brain cells because one of the cooking ingredients is msg.Not only that,but the bisquits,the beans and mashed potatoes with gravy,all STILL have ingredients that contain transfat.So you have msg AND transfat in this "healthy meal".This msg wont mess you up instantly but constant consuming of food with these ingredients eventually will mess you up..But lets be honest here..the average north american DOESNT cook.they either order from fast foods,,or go to restaurants,or heat anything microwavable.But to actually spend hours cooking up a meal.not everyone does that.
