Nordy's. It's good stuff for sure.

I'd like something lighter and more discreet than my G27, and the double stack mag release is a bit of a reach for my short thumb.

Try the G43. I was hesitant to buy one since i'm not a sub compact single stack fan. Then i tried one at the range running 50 rds through it. Finished the box of ammo, left the range. Went up stairs and purchased one using the Blue Label discount cert. .

Wish there was a Poyeye's up here in Ft. Collins. Grew up with that stuff by New Orleans where it all started.

Popeyes can be hit or miss, The one here in Parker is usually good. If I eat there, it's always strips. Good with Blackened Ranch sauce.

I have a new stainless set sitting in the garage almost a year now to replace the 14 year old set, but I need to pick up the air kit.

Have you tried the Raising Cane's at Arapahoe Crossings? Best tasting chicken, IMO.

I tried Raising Cane's out in Nebraska and it was fine. I have a hard time paying their price for just chicken though.

Tried the Raising Cane for the first time around June 2015 north of Cincinnati. I like it, but my wife and kid doesn't.

Go Chicken Go, it is Mom & Pop 5 store chain in the KC area. If you ever run across one, get the large gizzards with hot sauce, they are to die for if you are a gizzards fan. I will eat the whole box in one sitting.
Their chicken is OK, the grandkids & wife like it, but the gizzards are perfection.

Now in direct contrast with the dollar scoop Chinese place by my house. Here is about five times as much food for less twice as much.
$26.70. Each of these combos is PACKED with rice or lo mein with two sides, a soda, and egg roll or wantons for only $4.80 before tax.

Recommendations?

I went to few dollar (or 1.69) scoop places near 104th & Washington and they were horrible.
As long as they are as eatable level as Panda,I am willing to try.

Ho Mei on a about 86th and Washington on the East side (by Subway). I'm sure it isn't great, but it sure is a lot of food for cheap. I can't tell good Chinese from bad Chinese as well as I can Mexican and BBQ. I'd say close to Panda Express in taste. Certainly not worth the drive from Castle Rock.

I cracked a tooth at Panda Express. They said they would help cover my dental bill, then bailed when I sent them the bill and information they asked. I'll never eat there again.

No kidding. That looks great. Panda Express is the go-to for anything close to Chinese in this area. Several Asian restaurants in the area. They all suck...really bad. Panda is always good.

There was a chicken place in AZ way back when I lived there that I loved...El Pollo Loco I think it was called. That was some good chicken.

Cherry Village in Parker has great Chinese and some decent Thai. Best in parker IMHO.

Poke Bowl.

Almost sounds like a game of some sort with magical creatures.

Years ago we discovered poke in Hawaii where you can buy many kinds in the grocery delis everywhere. It's the cheapest meal you can buy out. It's sushimi or raw fish usually with marinade, rice and veggies. I recently had some excellent poke for lunch at Sushi Leo in Longmont. Highly recommend it.

Sometimes we make poke at home. Here's an Ahi tuna poke with endamame, tomatoes, sushi rice, sesame, homegrown mint and microgreens. Delicious, cheap and easy.

One of the americanized Chinese food we like is Hoongs Palace in Centennial. Even people from big cities were fairly impressed.

Haven't been there in a long time. Was always a favorite to meet up with business associates or friends in the area.

I've lost count of how many restaurants have been in that spot over the last 26 years.

So I checked the menu. It's unbelievable huge yet they have only 3 Poke bowls, small medium and large. LOL Is there any choice of the style of Poke?

You want "whitey" Chinese, or ducks hanging in the windows Chinese????

Ducks in the window. I am not aware of any in C/S, but know a couple like that in Denver.
