Oh that's so funny, sounds exactly like something my grandpa would do 😆 I don't think I ever did actually go to Chicken Mary's, we were a Chicken Annie's family too! My grandpa always said it was better but it was also at least partly because it was closer lol I have one of their old magnets on my fridge now ❤️

LOL that's good to know I am not alone lol! Yea, we were always a chicken Annie's family as well...I'm not sure why we went to chicken Mary's...might have been on a day where Chicken Annie's was closed lol! Ah man I REALLY want some German potato salad...so many great memories at Chicken Annie's! It was closer for us too lol oh wow I think it's been YEARS since I've seen one of their old magnets

Chicken Annie's gang!

The school my mom teaches at always did a fried chicken dinner from them that was always the highlight of my year. Literal boxes and boxes (large, cardboard boxes, not carryout containers) full of fried chicken. All the drumsticks you could eat. I was in heaven every year. And then for a week after I'd "sneak" into the elementary teacher's lounge after school and have even more from the fridge.

That sounds like heaven! That's so cool that the school did that! Oh those cardboard boxes LOL everytime we go there, I ALWAYS bring extra home! My god, I don't know if it's better fresh, or reheated! Chicken Annie's is an amazing restaurant. This is so cool, I love these stories!

Honestly, it always tasted best to me cold from the fridge, but that may have been the "rebellion" coming through lol.

I wish I could have seen my elementary-age eyes get bigger and bigger with every box of chicken they brought in. It was amazing.

YES HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT POTATO SALAD! 🤤

The magnet is an old one for sure, I'm not positive but decent chance it's older than me lol

FYI they sell the dressing they put on that and the German coleslaw now so it's super easy to make at home.
