Intro


They are many food places around campus to eat with a variety selection of type of food. Burgers, burritos, Chinese, Indian  and so forth. On this map the food is which chicken venue is the best around campus. There many different places such as Raising Canes, Lo Lo's Chicken and Waffles, KFC,  and Buffalo Wings. Each have their own unique way of making them and the banger that makes people coming back. However since there is so many places to eat, evidently one has to be superior to the others. What makes a person choose one over another would be price, the quality, reviews/ opinions from other people, the location is key, and how the chicken is made; breaded or non-breaded for example. At these different locations there are different types of things you can get at each and some are limited to their specialty. Depending on what your taste buds tell you what they want, then you will decide which chain you will pick.

 




Furthermore customer service plays a key aspect in picking a place as well. Some of the chains are mostly considered fast food, meaning that you will get the food in a fast matter. Then there is the solo one Lo Lo’s Chicken which is a restaurant type of venue. This place is the one with a sit down dinner, waiting for food. However there is a lot of communication that goes on through the dinner. Many people have different things they look at. Maybe it can be customer service. How the customers look at the body language of the employees at the chain. In this the map there is no bias being used and many of the chains are great in their own way.  If there great customer service is not present then many people would not show up at the different venues. Because of the quality of all four of these chains the each carry a highly customer service and keep customers rolling in.

Money is a major factor when it comes to college students; price is key aspect when choosing a place to eat. As for freshman many have a meal plan and M&G, emphasizing that many only want to eat on campus or places where they can get something cheap. However none of these chains accept the Maroon and Gold dollars, but every once in a while students can get complacent always eating at the dining halls. Then there is a chance a student can enjoy some licking finger chicken. When going out to eat many don’t want to burn a hole in their pocket just for some food. With these four venues the quality food is well worth it. Each one varies from high prices to low prices. People choose the many ones depending on the certain deals or even quantity of the certain food item.


With many different types of taste buds because of diversity the ingredients of the process has a big aspect throughout the choosing of the chains.  Each venue has its own specialty of what makes the chain the chain. Ingredients on certain chicken, food item, makes the customers keep coming back and back for more finger licking. Some hand bread their chicken, have a secret sauce, provide a huge variety of different types of chicken, the sides are great with chicken, maybe even some come with more bang for your buck. Also many chains come out with new food items and drink varieties play an important part as well.
Chicken is not just chicken, that is why many companies succeed. They go beyond the normal concept of chicken as fried most know about. These four venues took that idea and thought outside of the box. With doing this many of the venues are beyond popular with non stop business. Taking a concept can go a long way if you see through it from a different lens. There may be many chains out there being a professional at chicken business, but only one could be the king of kings are ASU. This includes the price, quality, customer service, and popularity.

Buffalo Wild Wings

Buffalo Wings is located on Rural right by the football practice field. Also BWW is a high superior chicken place. They are very popular for their buffalo wings. Without the wings BWW might not be as popular as it is today. Furthermore this is a great place to catch and watch a big sports event coming on TV while eating some chicken wings. They have many different sauces which to try out on your wings. The staff is very awesome with the customer service top notch. 

Looking at the menu for the Buffalo Wild Wings it has a variety of different food options. They have their banger buffalo wings with a huge selection of different types of sauces to go with the famous chicken wings. It starts from the least spicy to the spiciest of the sauces. They are also a variety of drink items that are very well needed. Not only do they just serve the wings, but also they serve grilled chicken and also a big one for healthy people chicken salad. A fun thing they have too is a challenge in which to eat 12 wings in two minutes with the hottest sauce that BWW’s has in the building. Completing this results in a shirt and picture taken, but a waiver is signed first.
The customer service is outstanding. The employees look like they love their job and are always smiling. The greeter at the door makes you feel welcomed. The services as in waitress/ waitresses are up to par as well. Also while waiting there are games you can play while waiting for service or even food For entertainment they have a lot of flat screens and televisions. All types of sports events are played throughout; great for football games on Sunday. Love Dub from Urbanspoon explains its opinion on Buffalo Wild Wings. “Thank God a Buffalo Wild Wings opened up next to campus, it's about damn time! I've been here a couple times since the big opening and the ambiance is great here. Quality service and delicious food, I'd expect nothing less out of BDubs. This is gonna be the place to be on Saturdays and Sundays. And Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Buffalo Wild Wings isn't too pricey depending on what is ordered. Since it is a restaurant style place there is a tip required at the end, so don’t order what you can’t pay. The prices relate on the quality of the food and make them reasonable. Finally don’t miss out on a great time while enjoying your favorite sport event eating the famous buffalo wings.

Kentucky Fried Chicken



Kentucky Fried Chicken


http://pics3.city-data.com/businesses/p/8/8/1/2/5998812.JPG



Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) is one of the original and most known chicken places of all the venues. KFC has been around since the early 1950’s. The recipe has been the same and many people still come to this place to enjoy some old school type of chicken. The customer service is so so depending on the time of the day and if the workers love or hate their jobs that day. The quality is great especially if you get it super fresh. The prices are reasonable to the customers or even college student. They have a value menu and special deals on various days.

When it comes to the food nothing has really changed except for the newly acquired grilled chicken came a few years ago. They still serve the famous fried chicken but they grilled chicken brought in the healthy eating customers.  A great selection would have to be the spicy chicken wings that they have. They also have their delicious biscuits that are gracious. The sides are filler-uppers as in when they chicken does the most part the sides come in to finish up the job. The food quality is alright, tasty and all; just depends on what chicken you like. The bowl the chicken comes to is popular as well.

The customer service is alright. Nothing like the other three, but it is at average when it comes to the fast food industry. The service isn’t as pleasing or joyful as the others either. If you don’t want to get an attitude for a messed up order than the best thing to do is just go through the drive thru. The place is somewhat clean, but nothing appealing to the eye. Maybe it has to do with the area but that should not be an excuse. However other than that the service is somewhat understandable.

The prices are reasonable to a college student. They make the customer happy and get the most out of their money. Also the prices keep customers coming back because it is cheaper than most chicken companies. The value menu does a big part of the business because the economy is not the best these days. With college students trying to save, the cheapest prices for would have to be the best. Contributor explains his opinion about KFC: “For more than 60 years, this all-American institution has been serving its signature chicken and home-style sides.. In Short
Established in 1939, this fast-food restaurant still makes its legendary fried chicken with the closely guarded blend of 11 herbs and spices originally created by founder Colonel Sanders. Modern additions to the menu include oven-roasted renditions of its chicken sandwiches, popcorn chicken, potato wedges and wraps. Classic sides include flaky, oversized biscuits, steaming-hot mashed potatoes and gravy, smoky-sweet baked beans and crisp, generously dressed coleslaw. Kids and adults love the "little bucket" parfaits of pudding desserts.”

Lo Lo's Chicken and Waffles




Lo Lo's Chicken and Waffles




http://loopdid.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/lolosdalesign2.jpg?w=540



Larry “Lo-Lo” White is the owner and founder of Lo Lo’s Chicken and Waffles. This chain has only two locations which are both located in Arizona. The two chains are in Downtown Phoenix and Scottsdale. This chicken place is highly popular and major celebrities from all over come to taste how good the food is.

The menu is as follows:



The prices seem a little pricey, however the quality is fantastic. The chicken at Lo Lo’s looks fantastic even though it has a lot of entrees. Out of all the venues this is the most expensive out of all the chicken places. The only reason why the prices are so high has to do with the quality of the food. This is the most popular restaurant out of all the venues. This would have to be like the Roscoe’s of Arizona. Because of price many students may not want to go, but the chance of going will not be a letdown.  If you are looking for a place to take someone on or date or even if you r stomach is growling for some chicken then this is the place to be. Kennethlapierre explains the recent visit to Lo Lo’s and has its opinion; “Make the trip and go to the scottsdale location. You have to have the fried chicken with the waffles . Great for the non dieters or for those that crave the down home southern food. Love the lemonade and service . I often crave this place and always go back.

This is a must eat venue that is worth the trip.
Visited August 2012”

If you are looking for a place where to sit sown and enjoy a peaceful but family type of dinner then Lo Lo's is the place. They are a restruant style place with a variety of seating. However since the place is highly popular many people come in and out. The best thing to do would be come early or even make reservations. If money is a problem then Lo Lo's shouldn't be a choice for you. The food is great, but the prices are a little pricey for the small portion of food that is given. Don't get me wrong if I wanted to get some good chicken or even a homecooked meal type of dinner Lo LO's is my place. But for other people it can become difficult also because of destination. This place is the furthest out of all four. For some students they would have to take the bus to get to Lo Lo's.

Raising Canes


Raising Canes 
http://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/eastvalleytribune.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/8/34/834ef76c-e88f-11e1-ab07-001a4bcf887a/502e7cd07768d.preview-300.jpg



Raising Canes is a new chicken tender venue that came to the area in Tempe as of August of this year. If you are looking for a place to enjoy a fun environment while eating some of the best chicken tenders then Raising Canes is the place to be. The customer service is phenomenal and if you are dining in they bring your food right to you. Getting the food is quite quick also, doesn't take ages to receive the breathtaking tenders. This is by far one of the best chicken tender places on Earth if not the universe. This place is highly recommended.

The reason why Raising Canes is so popular is because of their famous chicken tenders. No idea how they make the tenders, but they are phenomenal. This is why people keep coming back and back for some more. Being out of state I wish California had some of these that are how good the tenders are. The tenders are so good, just from the smell you get hooked on the tenders. Not only are the tenders great but Canes has this outstanding secret sauce. The tenders dipped in the sauce makes your mouth water just looking at it.

Customer service is one of the bests, makes you feel like you are in a top notch restaurant. The employees are outstanding always smiling and interacting in a positive way. It may be a fast food venue but they make it seem like a restaurant by bring your food to the table. A manager walks around the store making sure the customers are having a good time and is polite. Out of all the venues I think that Raising Canes has the best customer service. You can tell that their customer service is one the best. Interviewing Michael Robinson a customer we found out his opinion on Raising Canes. “Raising Canes is phenomenal, the customer service is outstanding, and boy the food is mmmm so good, like I highly recommend this place to anybody”.

The prices are fair not too pricey. The most priced would have to be the Caniac Box that is roughly 9 dollars rounded off. However this comes with the most quantity of food. This is probably one of the most popular food item on the menu. This chicken place is top notch one of the best in the area. Also it has reasonable prices for a college student trying to save up.
