When we moved into our house in November, I was hopeful that we\u2019d have nice neighbors, or at least, not awful neighbors. In our old house, we didn\u2019t actually know many of our neighbors but the ones we knew were really nice, although we weren\u2019t close with any of them. <\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
Our new neighborhood is like nothing I could have imagined. Our neighbors are AWESOME! <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Fridays are for neighborhood happy hour- we head out to Rachel and Sean\u2019s front yard with our folding chairs and drinks. The kids ride bikes or run around and the adults have drinks and chat. There\u2019s been a neighborhood bags tournament. A few weeks ago we had root beer floats at happy hour. The evening the power went out, we all ended up in front of our house hanging out until it got too dark to be outside. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Saturday mornings are neighborhood short run where we run in a big group. Often there are spontaneous gatherings on porches, in back yards or on the sidewalk. It\u2019s a wonderful place to live. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
There is a neighborhood text chain where people regularly request tools or offer up extra cake. So last week when Sean texted to ask if anyone was passionate about chicken sandwiches and would be interested in doing a chicken sandwich comparison, it wasn\u2019t surprising that everyone responded with enthusiasm. I don\u2019t actually eat that much fast food, but I do love judging and comparing! <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
So today was the day! At 11am, we gathered and came up with a plan. We had drivers go 4 different places- McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, and Popeyes. We brought back chicken sandwiches and fries from each. Chickkk Filet was not considered because they hate everyone and therefore were not eligible. This is St.Paul and we don\u2019t stand for hate. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Each taster ended up with a half sandwich from each place. We went one at a time, making comments about texture, bun, sauce, moisture of the chicken, etc. The fries were palate cleansers in between. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/p>\n

We started with McDonalds. McDonalds is actually the only fast food restaurant I really ever go, and even that\u2019s rare. I sort of assumed I\u2019d like that sandwich the best. But even though it was the first one, and I was hungry, collectively it did not rate well. The chicken was rubbery, there wasn\u2019t any sauce or mayo, it was very disappointing. 
<\/span>
\"\"
Popeyes was next. Everyone assumed that would be the winner. And collectively, it was a hit! The chicken was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The right amount of mayo, even the pickle seemed better than the McDonalds sandwich. 
\"\"<\/div>\n

KFC was a close second. The chicken was good. It was crispy. There was a LOT of mayo so that was a knock against it. But it was a good sandwich. <\/span>
\"\"<\/div>\n
The Burger King sandwich was last. Upon first bite, we were all a little surprised- there was a mustardy sauce that was different than the others and was nice at first. However, after a few bites, the sauce was too much. The chicken was good, the bun was good. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
In the end, Popeyes was a clear winner. KFC was a respectable second. Burger King came in third. McDonalds was a very disappointing last place. My eyes were much bigger than my stomach and by the time we were finished, I didn\u2019t think I\u2019d ever eat anything again. However, it was a very fun comparison and we are already brainstorming the next food group we can compare! <\/span><\/div>\n
