Celebrity Business: Kenny Rogers Roasters




A Chicken Only Kramer Could Love

Country musician Kenny Rogers has won numerous platinum records for crooning about losing love but it was chicken - roasted chicken - that caused him to lose a bundle in the late '90s. Even an entire Seinfeld episode devoted to Rogers' fast food chicken restaurant, Kenny Rogers Roasters, couldn't save the business from failing in 1998. It probably didn't help that Rogers failed to recognize his own chicken in a blind taste test between Kenny Rogers Roasters and NBC cafeteria chicken on The Late Show with Conan O'Brian in 1997.

I have never been to one, from the outside it looks very tempting.

The wide-array of food on offer must be good, and one of these days, I'm going over to one of these franchised-outlet to have my chicken.

Its kind of funny reading the post about Mr.Kenny Rogers who cant distinguished his Kenny Rogers Roasters and NBC's cafeteria chicken!

How embarassing moment it must have been for Mr. Rogers himself.
