El Pollo Loco, Earth

I normally don't post chains but during this pandemic, El Pollo Loco is waiving its delivery fee and i felt that this was a great gesture. Back in the early 1980's had started dating a very beautiful woman who was substantially older than me. She had a circle of very close friends, of which one who we shall call "G". "G" was a stunning Latina who was an amazing person. not only was she attractive (which is an understatement) but she was tough. You did not mess with "G" and she she entered the room, she controlled the room. I found out that "G" once dated one of the founder of El Pollo Loco and so I sort of got the inside scoop on its origins, much of which is no secret. Whenever I pass by the corner of 6th Street and Alvarado, i try to remember where the original El Pollo Loco was. it's changed so much around there. Now it's all over the place but the quality has really morphed out of that local roasted chicken place into a corporate large scale production. Still, they started here in LA and that's pretty cool.
