| - From the outside, this seems like a semi-decent "restaurant". I came in here today for two reasons: 1, the L&L by my job (aka, the one on Maryland and Sahara aka, my favorite place in the whole entire world) was PACKED to the point where the line reached my parked car and 2, because I trusted it would taste the same. Boy was I wrong!
To start off on a bad foot, I walked into the restaurant and was greeted by this putrid smell of what I could only describe as resembling "Mothballs"? I, stupidly, decided to place an order anyways and was surprised to learn that my usual BBQ Chicken Bowl was one penny more than at my usual location, but at this point, I was hungry and didn't even care.
After I sat there and pondered about my many life goals, achievements and the proverbial "one that got away" for the next 5 minutes, my bowl was finally ready.
I looked up and was mildly pleased to find that the Chicken Bowl at this location was about 30% larger than the Sahara location's... but that mild pleasure was soon to meet its demise for it did not know the disaster that was about to ensue.
I opened my bowl and was almost knocked out by the warm mothball smell that wafted my way... I wanted to vomit at that exact moment... but again, my extreme hunger forced me to press onward!
Alas! I came across my usual favorite part of the meal: the Chicken.
Words cannot describe the injustice that was performed upon this chicken... The Skin; left on only to have been scorched in the cooking process... The BBQ Sauce; almost nonexistent. And finally, the smell- I can't stress how much this all smelled of mothballs.
As I sadly tossed the whole thing in the trash, I wondered if I should even make a fuss, "$5.40 for THAT? I'm going to ask for a refund", I thought. But I digress, no fuss was made. I walked out of the restaurant with a broken heart in my chest and a Yelp review already drafted in my head.
