Onion Head Monster vs. Bojangles

You know that Bojangles on Fast Food Alley, aka Western Boulevard? I’m sure you do. You know that onion headed creature that terrorizes colonies of ants and fights The Mobster Lobsters each week in the Independent? I’m sure you do. But, in case you don’t, next week, Tuesday to be precise, Onion Head Monster’s creator Paul Friedrich will take on a new foe, Bojangles. Paul, renown Bojangles’ expert/raconteur Bryan Pack and Bojangles’ historian/expert Eleanor Spicer will attempt to spend an entire day at the Western Boulevard location restaurant and live to tell the tale online, all day and each day afterwards. Guest appearances are expected and more.

Bojangles began in 1977 as the dream of operators Jack Fulk and Richard Thomas.
The core menu then was the same as it is today—spicy, Cajun style chicken served with fresh buttermilk biscuits, and one-of-a-kind fixin’s, like Dirty Rice or Cajun Pintos.
