KFC Bowl

Well please understand that what KFC is trying to reach with it's bowl meals is a YOUNGER client. It's a huge hit with the teens & early twenty crowd. That's what they were reaching for, and they got it.

The Taco Bells/KFCs here in South Florida have a bowl called 'chop' which is white rice smothered with a black bean soup then chunks of roasted chicken (white meat) and diced tomatoes on top. I ate it and it wasn't all that bad.

Rice with wet black beans and roast chicken? That sounds good. If KFC or Boston Market or another chain around here offered it I'd make a point of trying it.

Hello All,
Mack184, "a YOUNGER client." OUCH
You're probably right. I'm waiting for KFC
bowl of strained chicken soup.
Whatever works for the profit makes sense for business.
Can't fight with that.
Take Care,
Fieldthistle

Twenties? Really? My tastes had moved past KFC by around 22. ...My twelve-year-old son would eat that.

That "chop" doesn't sound bad to make at home.

Taco bell? A taco bell taco bowl will be next, or... is it already being sold?

Every time I see a commercial for the KFC Bowl, I literally feel sick. It looks discusting. I could eat a McDonald's Quarter Pounder if I was starving, but those "bowls" turn my stomach.

Like I said before, I can't fathom what kind of demented mind would even think of offering something like this.

This crap is cheap, so it's filling at minimum cost. Of course, along with Dominos cheese stuffed pizzas, offered with a dessert of iced cinnamon sticks and dipping sauce, is the unhealthiest stuff on earth. I too get nauseated looking at that pile of garbage....all starches, fats, and calories, not a bit of fiber or protein. Guess who's going to buy it - low income people, already at a higher risk for heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke. Oh yeah, don't forget to wash it all down with a 2 liter bottle of coke.......yecch!

RE- The Black Bean and Rice and Chicken Bowl (with Salsa and Guacamoli) was one of the big draws at EL POLLO LOCO back in the 70's and 80's. I knew them in SoCal and Vegas, but I think they were regional beyond that..or National for a while. Anyone know who bought them or what happened? Those Black Bean Bowls were pretty tasty!

A sad example of where our society is heading. By the way, I see now they are throwing a bisquit in on the deal as well. Wasn't quite enough calories and fat grams already?

They serve Pepsi products @ KFC.

Nothing has looked good @ KFC to me in awhile. When did they do away with the tender roast chicken buckets?

Just saw another commercial for this.

I'm glad it isn't just me who doesn't 'get' the concept - it looks like what you get cleaning out the fridge, not something you'd go out and buy.

Oh yeah - flower power, man. Do your own thing. Peace out.

Add all of the above to the recent news that they will go to the new No Trans-Fat frying technique, and you have a bowl of Tasteless Sludge.

since trans-fat oils added no real flavor difference from other oil, it must have been a bowl of tasteless sludge before the change - because changing to non trans fatty oil will not affect the flavor one bit.

Perhaps they should add a second topping of chili to give it some flavor - of course, that little bit of meat might hike up the price.

They could always just increase the levels of GHB they put in their products to make it more attractive *cough* addictive.

Saw a commercial last night for KFC's new product. Essentially a bowl of mashed with gravy, frankenchicken nuggets, corn and cheese. So, it's a basic KFC meal, boneless, less the green almost-vegetable, with added sugar, starch and fat in a form convenient for shovelling.

Can anyone explain this concept? If the idea is to inhale calories as quickly as possible, why don't they just throw it all in a blender and give you a straw?

This is a really disgusting idea by KFC. It seems to be inspired by Canada's national dish, Poutine. I think I'll pass on it and I have a feeling it wno't be around too long.

I tried it a few months ago - I had to, because it looked horrifying. Kind of like how I had to try a deep-fried Twinkie at the fair. It was disgusting (as was the deep-fried Twinkie). I actually mix my food a lot - for instance, when I get a cheese enchilada and rice, I mix them together - so that wasn't the disgusting part, to me. It was just disgusting because it was KFC - lots of grease. And strangely tasteless...

Gosh, I've gotten the bowl a couple times. I love it. Think its great and its fulls me right up.

I tried it. I lived. Don't know how. Utterly tasteless.

Right on! Tried it once (a weakness of mine, trying new food items), went right back to the Honey BBQ sandwich!

My 3 yr old grandson looooved it, however. Is THAT the younger market they were trying for???
