Guess what, folks... according to this website: http://www.kfc.de/de/stores/suche
there will be a KFC in Munich coming June/July 2005.

I can feel a major breakout of acne coming to Munich

Great Hang over food! Hope they are located close to an Ubahn station somewhere.

Hope they sell the biscuits and the coleslaw like in the states and not Germanified. It is not Bojangles or Popeyes, but it will have to do.

You can check it out in Augsburg (heh I remember even doing KFC missions to Augsburg all the way from Rosenheim) they have at least one KFC there. Its the same as in New Zealand except its on plates rather then in cardboard boxes. Coleslaw is the same, hot and spicy and original chicken is the same,Potato and Gravy is the same. There are less different types of burger to choose from though, but more side dishes such as corn on the cob etc, that we dont have in NZ.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, there's been a KFC near Olympiazentrum for at least the last 5 years.

Are you sure??

I know that there is an American Fried Chicken place just at the junction of the A95

Almost KFC , but not quite..

G

There is no KFC near the Olmpiazentrum. There is, however, a Pizza Hut.

The ad advertised for Restaurant and Assistent managers plus Shift Managers.
Location - Muenchen.

Can't say I'm excited though. The smell of the greasy fat soming from the extractors always make me want to puke. Each to their own I guess.

Well, the website I listed above doesn't say where the new one will be, but I'd venture to guess that it'll be at Olympiazentrum and that the ad was for the new as yet unopened store.

why Olympiazentrum and not the center of town?

It's about time! I am a southern boy and I miss my fried chicken. I personally would prefer popeyes but KFC is good too. I think the previous posters were talking about the American Fried Chicken located at Ubahn stop Westpark on the U6. It's not bad but nowhere near the quality of KFC.

It seems I'm very much mistaken then...

Huh? Why all the excitement? KFC is a corporate fast food shithole only marginally better than McD's. Surely?

No. It is finger lickin' good. You'll be wanting this Starbucks thread.
PS Globalisation has already happened. It is like fighting gravity. So pass the chicken and shut up already.

Why surely? I think they do some pretty damn good fried chicken, regardless of the ownership or extent of the company.

Now if only Quizno's would come to Germany...

As if the Bavarian chicken population wasn't already persecuted enough...

There are two KFC'c in Augsburg. One is in Haidhausen (west end) and the other is on what was the old Army base and has some other fast food outlet attached to it, but I forget which one. Twas not bad.

I am extatically excited about June/July now... Previously, I have had to wait until trips to our Boeblingen office for KFC. .

I hope they still have crispy strips on the .de menu.. mmmmmm

Never really got into KFC when I lived at home. I'm quite happy with the Bavarian chicken tbh. But I thought I'd do a public service announcement.

first pizza hut, now KFC ... i can only hope this means taco bell has its eyes on the fatherland, too!

@quarblotz

Do a search for "Taco Bell"...

You will find a very lenghty post by me on this subject...
Bottom line... No Taco Bell Anytime Soon...

DK, we can still hope. Taco Hell is one of the few fast food joints I miss. Of course Taco Time was slightly better (less grease), but more expensive. One can hope that since it merged with Pizza Hut it will eventually find its way.

You know, I'll bet they expand that Pizza Hut near OlympiaZentrum and add the KFC because I was once travelling(last May) in/near Cologne and there was a McDonalds, Pizza Hut and KFC all right next to each other(the KFC and PH were in the same building).

My(German) boyfriend will be so happy - he loves KFC(chalk that up to spending too much time in the US)

MMMMM that would be right round the corner from us. Fantastic!

Wasn't KFC in trouble few days ago in China for using dangerous cancer causing dyes in their sauces? Anybody else read about it?

Here's the article: the money.cnn.com / KFC china

The Colonel's Beady Eye looking down upon us here.

That's a good thing?

ps. Olypiazentrum surely because of the footie fans.

if his beady eye is batter fried and served up next to some bisquits, yes martha thats definitely a good thing.

I don't really have anything against KFC.
My favourite is cold KFC chicken from the fridge. mmmmm.
But I love Germany because of all the things here that are different from home. One day, when I've had enough - KFC and Starbucks and all the rest will be still be there waiting. I can appreciate those things later. More-so if I've missed them.
I'm happy to not to have the same outlets of everything imaginable in every country you visit (or live in).

@icemocha

Dream all you want, but as lng as the US Military is in Germany you will not have Taco bell out in the German Public... US Mil. has a sweetheart
deal for the next 10 years.. So unless they cloase all their TB's and cancel the contract the soonest you will find a TB is 2015...

Kentucky Fried Chicken Buffet. I have only seen this once, in Indiana, on whatever highway that is when you drive from Indianapolis to Chicago. All you can eat KFC for something like $6.99. My husband still dreams about it.

I remember going to Taco Bells for the first time on the US base in Grafenwoehr near Weiden. Yum!

and yet another US fast food store...

...that wouldn't be here if the Germans didn't eat it up!

kfc is actually an evil chicken empire.

I remember stopping at a road-side KFC once (won't say where) and my friend buying one of their Chicken Burgers. It was one of those times when you have been drooling for miles in anticipation of the greasy badness. He grabbed the burger, took a huge bite out of it and then had a strange look on his face. He then looked down at the burger only to discover that he had bitten through a nice ripe boil filled with yellowing pus just below the skin of the chicken. Proceeded to puke involuntarily for about an hour when all that would come out was bile. See you in line at the KFC

boil2 ( P ) Pronunciation Key (boil)
n.
A painful, circumscribed pus-filled inflammation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue usually caused by a local staphylococcal infection. Also called furuncle.

Is that true? You can claim you saw this with your own eyes?
Interesting... And gross.
I have heard that story sooo many times, always a 'friend of a friend'. But just figured it was one of those old wives tales that goes around as I also found it in a book of 'common urban myths'.

It is just an urban tale that did the rounds on the internet a long time ago.
DD's just someone messing about posting a bunch of BS on different threads. Check out his story in the Police drugs raid... thread and you'll see what I mean.

Ah, thought so.
Yes, I could smell the aroma of old shit but was too lazy to check his history and confirm my suspicions.
Cheers.

It's true. Just like when I was at a Wendy's in New York with my brother and he found worms in his salad and when I was at a Pizza Hut and found a finger nail on one of the pizza's. Boils are pretty common in chickens these days because of the steriods they are pumped with and the fact that they are fed their own shit and bloated with water to make their mass heavier for more expensive sales.
Don't get me wrong, I still eat all this fast food crap despite what I have seen and heard. Fast food is hangover food
Believe it or not...

That story is defo an urban legend, I have heard it happened in Belfast, Dundee, Manchester, Dublin, Edinburgh and Rome!!

Just like the batman story... load of old bollox

Perhaps it has happened in all those places because it has happened. The world's a rather large place and there are plenty of chickens to go around. Going a bit off topic here but these things do happen in the food industry. Crisp companies have a percentage quota for cockroaches in their crisps because it is just impossible not too. Now that I have thought about it, they have happened to me quite often for some bizzare reason. Even bought a bad batch of MGD cheapo beer in Mass. once that was off and made everyone vomit after the first sip. The stories are endless and needless to say they did and will happen again. To me and to you or someone you know. No way around it if you don't want to lock yourself in your room for the rest of you're life.

I think I've found the location of the planned München KFC...

There is building work ongoing at corner of Hanauerstr & Gneisenaustr, just north of Georg-Brauchle-Ring and just south of the Olympia Einkaufzentrum (and next to Reifern Wagner).

No explicit KFC signs visible at the moment, but "teaser" signs in KFC font, mentioning "iß Hänchen" or similar slogans have recently appeared.

This week is turning into a dietary nightmare for me, firstly an American style diner opens 5 floors below my office, then I discover a future KFC not more than 300 meters away (and directly on my way to and from the office :-( ). How can I keep up my good intentions at this rate!

Hmmm my office in Georg Brauchle Ring

I can see the waist line expanding!!

Is nothing sacred? I always thought that Germany would be the last country to take on all this crap junk food!

As though German food is healthy...

I agree with "wasn't me". Let's keep Munich German! You don't see fish n chip shops everywhere for goodness sake, why the hell do we have to find American junk food places everywhere? Maybe they won't have them in America?

@Alys

There already here, but the germans call'em "K'bob shop's", and there run by The Turks, not Brits

So perhaps we should all leave Munich too?? That's a suprisingly xenophobic statement coming from a foreigner...


Because there's a demand for it. If there was a demand for fish and chips shops here, then they would probably open them here too.

If you don't like it, don't eat there...
