    <summary>--&gt;Bill just emailed us with a link to this tweet from the El Pollo Loco rep on Twitter. Might be worth a shot if you were turned away by your local KFC yesterday and you think a free chicken meal is the perfect way to say &quot;I love you&quot; in motherese.</summary>

        <![CDATA[<p><p>El Pollo Loco is much better and since the nearest one is some 90 miles from my house I always buy a "bunch" of their chicken.They used to be a lot cheaper though but still have some good specials.I can replicate their flavor on my BBQ but it is their salsas and side dishes which is convinient.Good stuff.</p></p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>My local  KFC refused to honor the coupon yesterday, even though I had called about 15 minutes before I got there. They did NOT offer any rain checks. My family took our coupons to El Pollo Loco last night and the coupons were honored at face value. The only thing the manager did was go to the KFC website to confirm that they were legitimate coupons. From now on, if we're going out for a chicken dinner, it will be at El Pollo Loco!</p>]]>

<p>Yeah, except for the self fermenting salsa bowls. That stuff is bubbling by the end of the day and they just shovel it back in a bucket to be added to a another batch the next day. That's just nasty. Not to mention the workers not grasping basic workplace hygiene.</p></p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>The other thing is that "honor" doesn't necessarily mean "free meal". All El Pollo Locos currently "honor" all competitor's coupons, for $1.00 off a purchase of $5.00 or more... the same discount you get for filling out the survey on the back of the receipt. If you want, stop by on Mother's Day and report back to me how it worked out for you.</p>]]>

<p>The one thing I noticed is the fine print which states "Valid only if printed from UnthinkKFC.com." They can reject it as it was printed from Oprah's servers. I may print it out and try it later at a different KFC.</p>]]>

<p>El Pollo Loco just did a 2 piece giveaway and it went off without a hitch. They're always cooking tons of chicken and stock for it.</p><br />
<p>Some KFCs are slower so they don't stock the excess needed to meet the demand.</p></p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>I have no idea if this is true, but I've heard more than once that KFC's biggest business day of the year is Mother's Day...because you can get something similar to a home-style meal for cheap.</p>
<p>Maybe El Pollo Loco is just trying to siphon some business!</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>@<a href="#c12656051" rel="nofollow">nakedscience</a>: Won't be an issue.  If you have ever worked in a bookstore, you will know that this mad rush is solely due to oprah lemmings, and their need to follow oprah any way she leads.  Do you know how many people bought the oprah edition of "east of eden"?  The $30 something hardbound when there was a perfectly good $8 paperback sitting right next to it.  It wasn't even a good book in the first place!</p>
<p>To summarize, unless oprah tells people to go to El Pollo Loco, it won't be an issue.</p>]]>
