Lunch at the "Big Chicken" in Marietta

[burkbuilds]

Well I finally got to meet up with Easy Rider today for lunch. He was driving down from Ill. to Atlanta and we met up at the Kentucky Fried Chicken on Highway 41 for lunch. The "Big Chicken" has been a landmark around here since the early 60's. The outside looks like a giant boxy chicken with a beak that opens and closes and the eye rolls around. It's the only fast food chain restaurant I've been in that sells souvenirs of itself inside. Several big display cases with memorabilia from the past are in the main lobby. I digress.
We had a nice lunch and it was good to finally put a face to the "handle". It might not have worked out except that Easy had a front tire go bad and he had to stop in Kennesaw this morning to get it replaced, which put him through Marietta at about noon, so it was a good time to stop for a bite to eat. Nice meeting you Easy Rider, hope the rest of your trip is without further tire problems. By the way, that Honda Shadow 600 of yours is a beautiful bike, that paint job is awesome and you've really got all the chrome shinning like new. :2tup:
