Worst KFC in America? Not in NYC. It's in Weatherford OK. I lived in Weatherford for 18 months a few years ago and I swear this KFC was disgusting. Their freezer went out and all of the chicken thawed and then they got it fixed, re-froze the chicken and cooked and sold it. I went in there one time and the roof was leaking during the rain right in to the salad bar. I was manager of a hotel there (before I returned to sanity and came back to Los Angeles) and I always warned incoming out of down guests to stay away from that place. The moral of the story is to not trust any fast food place. Look around and get a good feel for the place before you eat what they serve.

People need to be meticulous about their garbage or they need to be fined heavily and repeatedly. They cannot leave trash out in just bags. That's like saying "Dinner is served!" New Yorkers really need to take their trash seriously or there very well could be a plague. If there is something a rat could carry, NYC would be very hard hit.

I heard for awhile that the City was thinking of replacing all of the attorneys with rats until they found out that there's some things rats just won't do!

Anyone who has lived in New York City for any length of time and is not aware of the rat problem is either blind or has their head buried deep in the sand. Any construction brings the rats out, and they become more of a problem than usual, but they're always there. You can walk the streets at night and see them come out to eat the garbage. I used to park by the Narrows in Brooklyn as a lover's lane and see the rats coming out of the rocks to go into the garbage pails. I remember thinking rats just didn't come that big. Rumor is that if the city does anything to poison the millions of rats, they will panic and come into the streets and cause a plague.

Ummmm - Yummy - Fried KFC Rat Leg. Just $8.99 for a 12 piece dinner + mashed potatoes :) Or - would you prefer a Rat Taco? Hmmm? What did you say? You found a rat tail in between the lettuce?...oh comeon...a little rat hair wouldn't hurt you! What? Just because the rats russle down in the subways (out of sight, out of mind, right?)...doesn't mean you have to be alarmed about NYC...just when they come up after having their nests disturbed by construction...that's when you have to really be concerned. By the way, I bet these are Norway rats which don't carry the plague. Only black oriental rats do...so no need to get your gammaglobulin shots just yet. What was that advert I have been seeing recently on TV about visiting NYC? This is really bad publicity for NY politicians who just recently were more concerned about banning trans-fats (never mind the rat hair in the margarine, mind you). Oh well...

This is the last straw/rat. I will NEVER set foot in another KFC or Taco Bell for as long as I live. This infestation is unforgiveable and N.Y.C. should not only close the location in question but set up cameras in every single like brand eatery within its jurisdiction.

The "Plague" will surely follow if this matter is not seen to vigerously!

Ah, another typical day in a NYC restuarant.

We need to use Los Angeles's system of letter grades. No one would ever go anywhere that didn't get an A.

The real rat trap is inside the electrical pannel.
