I had the buffalo sandwich from Arby's a few weeks ago in the airport and holy hell that thing was really good. It had the perfect spice to it and was damn good. I definitely want to eat it again. I didn't get it with blue cheese or ranch or whatever comes on it. I just had the patty and maybe lettuce/tomato on it. I was just a fan of the buffalo sauce they use and it had a nice crisp to it and was thick.
so I ended up at RAISING CANES because the line was only 10 cars deep instead of 30. They are slowly rolling our their expansion across SoCal...
Verdict: Better than Chick Fil A, but not the second coming of christ (unlike the Chick'n Shack)
Got the Caniac combo which was 6 fingers + fries + texas toast + slaw. Slaw was super basic, texas toast was a carbload + butter, fries well done were surprisingly good. The chicken itself was decent, "some" crisp, tender, and mostly fat fingers. Overall I can see the allure if I wanted chicken tenders, but I wouldn't wait > 10 minutes for it.
Why you would be eating anything other than Mexican food in SoCal baffles my mind!
So much good middle eastern food in the LA area. I definitely miss it already now that I moved to the Bay Area. SF Bay Area has crappy food if you don't actually live in San Francisco.^^
I live in SoCal because mexican is one of many, many cuisines that SoCal does well. To only eat mexican is to deprive oneself of the best asian food in the country, for instance. Strong middle eastern roots here as well, and italian is way, way more respectable now than 10 years ago (but not that NY red sauce style).
The only thing we really lack are some eastern european cuisines, and top tier american style bbq.
No you guys lack Peruvian Chicken big time. My friends who flew back to San Diego from VA flew back with Peruvian Chicken stowed away in their checked in luggage. That shit is serious business.^^

It comes with their parmesan peppercorn ranch, which is okay overall, but I always skip it if it's on what I'm ordering there (I think it comes on one of their angus sandwiches too).I had the buffalo sandwich from Arby's a few weeks ago in the airport and holy hell that thing was really good.

Yep.Burger King has just kept on going down hill in the last 10 years or so. I don't eat a lot of fast food, especially burgers (I live across from a brew pub), but I'd rather eat at almost any other fast food restaurant.
Now, I've only had Raising Cane's once, but I'm pretty sure you're wrong. I can't even be bothered to drive all the way back out there to see if it's "as good" as CFA.so I ended up at RAISING CANES because the line was only 10 cars deep instead of 30.

I've been to CFA 3 times now and I vastly prefer a McChicken over any of CFA's offerings, including their chicken biscuit sandwich.
Sir, you disgust me.I've been to CFA 3 times now and I vastly prefer a McChicken over any of CFA's offerings, including their chicken biscuit sandwich.
Yeah but how many of those are there around? And where is that one (seriously I will tell my friends).

They are in SD so I doubt they will drive up there for that, but maybe they would lol. They flew 2500 miles with it in their luggage so who knows.definitely not as pervasive as taco shops! lol
There's probably a handful of true pollo a la brasa joints, and then there are many peruvian joints that also serve chicken which may or may not be wood fired on a rotisserie.

That looks pretty good for rotisserie chicken but it's still only rotisserie chicken. Which means it's still inferior to fried chicken and smoked chicken. Fried chicken > smoked chicken > rotisserie chicken.
