Chicken in the Rough

edit

5x expanded by Northamerica1000 (talk). Self-nominated at 04:37, 2 May 2015 (UTC).

  • 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, well referenced, neutrally written, no close paraphrasing seen. Hook ref verified and cited inline. QPQ done. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 14:18, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
Sorry, but I pulled this from prep for sourcing of the hook. A cookbook isn't a RS for the history of restaurant franchising, and the only other source I could find offhand was the company's own website. EEng (talk) 21:30, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
  • @Northamerica1000:, I didn't say anything at the time, but I feel the hook needs more pizzazz. How about:
  • ALT2: ... that Chicken in the Rough expanded its first drive-in restaurant on Route 66 from nine stools and four booths to seating for 1,100? Yoninah (talk) 23:44, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: No offense, but I feel that ALT1 has much more historical significance relative to the history of restaurant franchising in the United States, whereas ALT2 simply discusses a sizable restaurant expansion. North America1000 23:51, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
  • Historical significance, yes. Hookiness, no. But ALT1 is verified by a reliable book source and cited inline. Yoninah (talk) 23:55, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
