Lunch in the Loop: Chicken Planet

A long time ago somebody told me that they were both called Chicken Hut and then there was some sort of shenanigans and a falling out between the two owners, then one renamed itself Chicken Planet, and they now both serve the same exact thing.

I have no idea if that's true or not, because that's like fourth-hand knowledge passed on to me by the ancient ones that came before us, but it'd make sense. I've never been to Chicken Hut so I don't know.

What I do know, is that Chicken Planet is awesome.

Hi Nancy. How are you?

What's your opinion on West Coast vs. East Coast gangsta rap? Does thug life culture have any bearing on your cooking techniques?

Eagerly awaiting your reply,

I'm pretty sure I'm banned from buying Oreos ever since I wrote this comment on their Facebook fan page:

"I just shoved 12 oreos up my ass but can't get the 13th one to fit. Any suggestions?"

I love Oreos, though. I eat them until my front teeth are blacked out like Mike Tyson's grill.
