One of my favorite memories of living in Antigua was Pollo Campero. My family used to eat breakfast there every Sunday before we went to church. A few years ago, I visited Chicago, IL to visit a friend. My friend told me that there was a Pollo Campero in Chicago. I was so excited! I am happy to report that the chicken was the same as I remembered it, and the restaurant was decorated with large glossy photos of Antigua and Guatemala (A pic of Volcan de Agua!). Sadly for me, the menu has changed. Perhaps it was because I hadn't been to a Pollo Campero for over 10 years, but I think it was also changed for the gringos. lol!

That's what I call sacrifice for the sake of field research. Thanks! @Jerry, you guys are so committed and dedicated; your actions do not go unnoticed.

We've been there once before, and we've been equally disappointed each time. We spoke to the manager (who started as a cook in Pollo Campero in El Salvador), and he feels that it is the chicken itself that makes a big difference, which is kind of interesting, but believable. Also, we all noted that the people are also the difference. In Guatemala, a job at Pollo Campero is a good job, and the workers have a great deal of pride in what they do, whereas in the USA, fast food jobs are near the bottom of the barrel for the quality of people you get. Big difference. After complaining about the plantanos being a little undercooked, the manager came out with a fine batch for us. While the manager says the spices are the same, I don't think so, otherwise there would have to be peanut allergy warnings all over the place. If you don't believe me, have someone buy some of the stolen Pollo Campero coating at the LAG market, and feed it to someone with a severe peanut allergy. I'm pretty sure they'll die. :-) Anyhow, all this was done for you, the readers of LAG Daily Photo. Noches! Ok, in the name of research we went to the Pollo Campero in Plano, Texas, this evening.

I think it may be hurt by some regulations regarding food allergies, and the seasoning is not the same. I'll stick with KFC here in the USA, but Pollo Campero is definitely tasty when I'm in Guate.

So it is an invasion, ;O) There is a story of a friend that went to Japan, and suddenly he finds himself before a Pollo Campero, and he said it was the best meal ever!!! I guess that some of us don't have it much here, but if we find ourselves abroad, some Pollo Campero is to be in order, ;O) Cheeeeeeers!!!!!!! A-Ha!
