Well, we’re finally getting close to the end of this clucked up tour! One thing I’ve learned on this fowl journey is that I’ll never do a 13 month tour again! It was too long and I’ve really gotten sick of it and I think other people have too.
I have two weeks left after this week’s finger-lickin’ chicken trip and I have something special planned for the next two weeks, so stay tuned for that!
For this week, we’re going somewhere that I’m really curious about and that place is Huck’s gas station on the corner of Willow Knolls and Allen Road. It’s just a couple blocks from the MBIP World Headquarters and I recently stumbled upon this article online: See how gas station fried chicken joints rank.
I never knew there was such a thing as gas station fried chicken joints and according to this article Huck’s has the best gas station fried chicken. As I said, it’s just a stone’s throw from the MBIP World Headquarters, so let’s get the cluck over there and check it out!
Here we are at Huck’s on the corner of Willow Knolls and Allen Road. I’m in this place about once a day getting lunch, beer or tea. I’ve probably entered this place over a thousand times in the last seven years and that fucking Bigg Swigg sign bothers me every single fucking time!
I’ve never understood the reasoning of adding an extra “G” at the end of Big and Swig. What’s the fucking point? Is it supposed to accentuate the fact that you’re drinking a fucking soda out of a glass about the size of a garbage can? I see people walking around with their giganzo Bigg Swigg sodas and just want to go up to them and scream, “Hey asshole…that’s too much soda! Your good friends Diabetes and Heart Disease are thrilled that you’re chugging that shit!”
The other thing that bothers me about this sign is the saying: “No Bigg Swigg Left Behind.” That doesn’t even make sense, even to someone who can’t spell the words “big” and/or “swig.”
I’ve spent hours staring at this fucking sign and wishing a painful and very cruel death on whoever thought up this whole concept. Or should I say conceptt. Fuck!
Alright, enough obsessing over the Bigg Swigg bullshit, let’s go inside and get some of the Huck’s World Famous Chicken.
It’s festive in here and even though I should stay away, I’m drawn to the Bigg Swigg Station like a Lemming to a seaside cliff.
I really would like to get a megaphone and every time someone fills up one of those garbage can cups with high calorie and sugar-loaded drinks walk over to them and scream into their ear: “Put the fucking soda down…it’s too much! Drink some water instead and maybe your ass won’t be the size of a fender on a ’55 Chevy!”
And check out the ice, they can’t even get that right! It’s “ice cubes” you fucking morons, not “cube ice.”
Fuuuuuuuuck!
Check this out: “Karing for Kids.” It’s like the whole fucking store is one big-ass typo!
I think I’ll start a charity to get a dictionary delivered to every fucking Huck’s location.
Motherfucker! There’s no escape from this shit in here! It’s like this place is a mass breeding ground for typos!
I guess this company didn’t get the memo that you’re supposed to add an extra “G” to the word Big. This is like a slice of sanity in a world gone completely shithouse fucking mad!
And now it’s time for another episode of…The Lone Weiner!
Okay, let’s get our chicken, this place is driving me nuts with the weirdness in here.
The sign has all kinds of selections from wings to chicken breasts to drumsticks, but the kid behind the counter said all they have is chicken tenders, livers and gizzards. That’s a little disappointing, but I do like chicken gizzards so I got two chicken tenders and an order of gizzards.
There is a place to eat in here, but between the avalanche of typos and the Lone Weiner, I’m getting the chicken to go and escape this madness.
As I said earlier, the MBIP World Headquarters is just a couple blocks from here, so we’ll take it back there where everything is spelled correctly!
Having said that, now I’m completely paranoid that there’s going to be a typo in this post!
Okay, we’re here at the MBIP Kitchen and Tasting Room at MBIP World Headquarters and I’ve decided to use the Butch’s Hot Sauce for a dipping sauce for the chicken. And we’ll start the meal off with one of my Holiday Budweiser beers that Kevin and Star gave me!
Okay, the chicken and dipping sauce are all plated. All this chicken was just $3.18, so it’s inexpensive, now let’s see how it tastes.
I took a bite without the sauce to get the pure taste and I have to tell you that I’m pleasantly surprised! I really didn’t think it was going to be that good and it’s really tasty!
The breading is both soft and crunchy. It’s got a nice savory flavor with just a little bit of spice. The chicken is really tasty and juicy! And when you dip it into the Butch’s dipping sauce it takes it to an even higher level of deliciousness!
Okay, now let’s try the gizzards.
These are even more of a surprise. Gizzards are either really tasty and delicious or they can be tough and bland. These are tasty and while they’re a little chewy, they’re tender and flavorful. Huck’s may not know how to spell, but they do know how to cook up some tasty chicken!
Chicken Rating
Four Dixie Chickens—I have to say, I’m pleasantly surprised by their tasty chicken and will be eating it again! Oh…and fuck the Bigg Swigg! It’s too much soda and too many G’s!
