We only saw what they wanted us to see and they showed Marisa being a nuisance to so hard-working Heidi. She and Derek came up with the 2 Chickens for advertising and also a different name for the food, which may or may not have sold more.

If she was going to be held responsible for Marketing, perhaps her and Derek's ideas should have been implemented.

I think the real failure was putting fruit in it. I would probably love it, but these are people eating lunch and it was so different from the norm, they didn't want to try it. Mango isn't something everyone loves.

This show has really tanked. This last episode was sooo boring. I didn't even care who won.

I think part of the problem was the concept. Fruit and chicken? It's not mainstream enough to generate big sales. I missed who came up with that idea, but it should have been addressed in the board room, along with marketing and promotion.

A chicken tortilla bowl may be more boring, but it's an easy thing for people to grasp, and is far more likely to sell to a wider variety of customers.

Bottom line, it really wasn't the marketing however. It was 22 bowls at one shop that made the difference in sales volume. Costa had that right on the money! :-)

The only thing I liked about yesterday's episode was that they featured El Pollo Loco. I love El Pollo Loco.

Just a side note here. (Speaking of fruit & chicken...) Has anyone tried Arby's new chicken salad? OMG is it ever good!!!! It has chicken, apples, grapes and walnuts (I think and some other stuff maybe too.) But it is so good. Sounds weird, but tastes great. I do NOT like their bread, so if you try it, I suggest getting in a wrap instead of sandwich.

When I eat Mexican, I do not think of adding fruit to the salad. It's beans, rice, chicken, tortillas, salsa yum. But, at Wendy's or anyplace else, yes, no problem with fruit. I'll need to check out Arby's now.

as someone whose every meal is takeout, i thought the name was bad. paradise or bravado is a bad name because it doesnt tell me whats in it. at least with chicken tortilla you knew what was in it. also mango is not a fruit everyone likes, maybe a pineapple??? also ive never stopped because of someone in a suit (chicken) i like banners or the billboard type signs.

I can't believe this! I hope the earth doesn't stop spinning! I'm almost afraid to say it!

I agree with Oregonguy. Ack! Did I just say that?

I love good chicken/salads and I wouldn't order a salad with mango in it. I don't like mango. My husband eats the mandarin chicken salads from Wendy's all the time but I don't. I wouldn't order a tortilla one either though.

A chicken suited guy waving a sign would not entice me to stop. I think that sort of thing is juvenile and aimed toward children telling me the place will be filled with kids running around and service will be slower. I'm more likely to pull in from a sign or a banner.

I can only dream about all my meals being take out and never having to clean a kitchen again. You're such a lucky guy.

Er, remember, folks... the El Pollo Loco's are in southern California. Fruit and chicken is not an unknown entity here (many chicken salads include apples and raisins, in fact). Although you may not have heard of fruit and chicken, consider the audience. (And no comments on how California is known as the land of fruits and nuts! <grin>)

I like chicken with apples and nuts and even pineapple but not with mangos. I don't think I like anything with mangos.

I'm still a little twitchy from that lightening bolt hitting me when I agreed with Oregonguy.

Arch nemesis?

I love a mandarin-orange chicken salad, love a Waldorf salad with raisins, celery and grapes...but I would never order a mango-chicken salad...I just don't like mangos!

But even if I did like mangos. they are not traditionally pared with Chicken and I don't think El Pollo Loco is going to get the customers who are prepared to go that far out on a limb for a cutting edge dining experience...Save that for Wolfgang Puck and Spago's...

As long as the chicken is freshly cooked, I'll try it. My favorite is Boston's chicken salad with pecans in it.

It's all Scooter's fault. They cut out the part on the show, where Scooter went into one of the restaurants and yelled, "I don't want no stinkin' fruit in my salad!!!"

Don't meat burritos still have beans? You can tell how much I know about this stuff. Chiliwilli eats lots of fish.

Not the Del Beef Burrito at Del Taco...No beans...all beef...and if you get the deluxe it has sour cream in it. Scoot knows lots about food!
