And
another fast food franchise opens in Fort Lauderdale. It is big, looks
and feels new and except that they focus on chicken tenders they are no
different from Burger Wi-Fi or The Whole Enchilada or any other new
franchise operation.
You walk in--and there are assorted sizes of
their menus all over so you don't have to wait to get up to the counter
to see what you want--approach the counter, give your first name and
order, pay, go get your drink,or in my case the lady behind the counter
poured my coffee, get any condiments, find a table and when your name is
called go back to the counter and get your order.
Allen had the 4
piece chicken tenders dinner with a soda and blueberry cole slaw for
$8.79 including tax and I had the grilled turkey sandwich meal which had
cranberry, lettuce and mayo spread on the egg bun plus the blueberry
cole slaw and coffee for $7.73
Neither Allen or I were impressed with
the blueberry cole slaw or, the bottom line, with PDQ--which could be
standing in for "People Dedicated to Quality" or "Pretty Darn Quick"
which they are--though nothing wrong with the place it is just another
fast food franchise with all the superficial trimmings and TVs but not
the table service.
