  • “Springfield location? WTF :) You realize that 34 states have a Springfield? Need more details. This is certainly not anything new. Many reports here of raw chicken. I got it nearly two decades ago on a spicy chicken . I wasn't able to eat another for at least 10 years.”

  • “I'd like to add context to why things like this are inexcusable. You don't actually "cook" any of this chicken, a fryer does, with buttons that have preset timers. The grill is a slightly different story. One is almost entirely automatic, the DSG I think, and the other model used is a more standard grill where you actually have to flip patties and temp to serve. What your location failed to”
