Look out Col Sanders

We are all familiar with the KFC brand (even if the product may not be to our taste), but what about roast chicken and mashed potato as a gourmet experience? Les Poulets de Loué is a major "red label" brand of chicken and the company has decided to branch into the restaurant business with a PP chain (poulet puree), aimed squarely at the nostalgia market. For us rosbifs the dish is quite normal Sunday lunch, but for the French it seems that mashed potato is something grandma made, and we all know things were better then.
The restaurants will not be gaudy takeaway a la KFC, but 18-20 euro 3 course lunch menus. The decor is retro and there are some gimmicks such as prize draws and lessons in how to joint or carve chickens, and you will be able to buy a roast chicken from the Poulets de Loué range to take away.BTW they say there will be vegetarian options.
How long before we see a PP restaurant near here?
