Dr. Rat Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Years ago, someone told me about the way places such as Boston Market cook 'dem 'dere chickens - they are stacked in a bg 'ol rotisserie and all the greeeeeeesy stuff is dripping from the top chicken on down, so by the time you get to that poor 'ol bottom chicken - it is a greaseball. Now, I love some greeeeeeeesy stuff and back in the 80's frequented Fattburger in L.A., but I wouldn't want to be the recipient of that bottom chicken!!!! Marla Don't they rotate? Or revolve? Or whatever it would be? --eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceH Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 My wife loves the meatloaf at Boston Market. I thought it started as Boston Chicken, in Newtonville, MA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I thought it started as Boston Chicken, in Newtonville, MA. I think Bruce may be right - my former boss, a Mass. native, always called it "Boston Chicken." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catesta Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Yep. If I remember correctly the name change came about after the rapid expansion was underway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.:.impossible Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I still think there's a place for non-burger fast food. Most definitely. The most recent trend is fast burritos as big as your head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my point, refering to Napersville Market. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 is this for me? No, Paul55. But it you want to say, please go ahead. This is a jazz forum, after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDK Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Laugh about Boston Market all you want, but you'll never guess who my wife ran into at a Boston Market just yesterday? Believe it or not, but Stevie Wonder. My wife and her parents were meeting her brother, a pilot, for lunch during a layover at LAX, and circumstances that need not be gotten into led them to a strip mall not far from either the airport or his hotel. And while there, Stevie Wonder and a companion walked in for lunch. Needless to say, a crowd gathered and hounded Stevie during his meal - often quite rudely according to Sheri - but he was most accomodating for picture and autograph requests. So there Burger King and McDonalds! B-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank m Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Back to BM's meatloaf----I too am a fan. Only thing I can contribute, since I get their meatloaf from a frozen foods section at the local supermarket is that they've just shrunk the size of the meatloaf---used to be 2 meatloafs in a package, now there's just one about one and a half times as thick as either of the two meatloafs. I didn't notice at the time whether there had been a price change, but I'll wager that I'm paying more for less. Tastes the same tho. Has the company fallen into bad economics or is there a new CEO or are they just greedy????Anybody? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Maybe Stevie Wonder is their target consumer and they figured that he'd not notice the change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
