Free Lunch? Hmph!

KFC is following up on its failed KGC (Kentucky Grilled Chicken) free sampling event from last week by offering a downloadable coupon for a 2-piece KGC meal.

The coupon is available for printing today (May 5) until 9:59 p.m. Central Time, May 6. It is redeemable at participating KFC locations in the U.S. from today to May 19.

It cannot be used on Sunday, May 10, which is Mother’s Day.
The meal includes two pieces of grilled chicken (manager’s choice), two sides and a biscuit.

This is an attempt by KFC to copy El Pollo Loco's grilled chicken dish.

Why don't they both wake up and make a SANDWICH!

hhmph!

Grilled Jarlsberg Cheese Sandwich

The story of Jarlsberg is the tale of the cheese that almost wasn't. In the 1830s, Swiss cheese makers came to Norway to show Norwegian dairies how to make their classically nutty, sweet, holed cheeses. The Swiss style cheese became very popular, and was produced in large volume for several years before disappearing from the market altogether.

In the 1950s, scientists at the Agricultural University of Norway became curious about the cheese and attempted to recreate it, releasing Jarlsberg in 1956 and exporting the cheese in 1961. The cheese is named for the county in Norway where it was originally made in the 1830s.
