If Pacers commentator Quinn Buckner doesn’t open up a restaurant called “Buckner’s Smothered Chicken” within five years, I’m gonna be… you guessed it: pissed as all heck. “Smothered chicken” is basically his catchphrase, and when your catchphrase has to do with a hella-delicious food preparation, you have to follow through by opening a restaurant based around it.
If he wanted to be a real cool bro, he could open this new business concept in Milwaukee, where he had most of his success as an NBA player (should have won a chip in 80-81, what the heck happened?). Then I could go check it out, because if it’s in Indiana, there’s no way in heck I’m ever going there. Nothing against Indianans, it’s a long story. But there’s no way I’m ever stepping foot on that accursed patch of dirt ever again. Not getting into it right now. That’s a story for another time, friendos.
Nate Robinson opened up a chicken and waffles place in Seattle, so there is proof that ventures such as these can work. Everyone loves chicken, right? It’s such a versatile food, you can pretty much do anything with it. Someone tweet at him and get him to make this happen. This needs to happen.
