The Great Boston Market Safari: Where Have All the Chickens Gone?
Remember Boston Market? Yeah, that rotisserie chicken haven that practically defined our childhood lunches? Well, buckle up buttercup, because finding one in 2024 is about as easy as spotting a unicorn riding a Roomba.
Gone But Not Forgotten: A Brief History of Boston Market's Disappearance
Boston Market used to be everywhere. Like, seriously, everywhere. You couldn't swing a spatchcocked turkey (is that a thing?) without hitting a sign for their famous rotisserie chicken. But then, things went south faster than a greased-up chicken leg on a roller coaster. Lawsuits, financial woes, the whole shebang. Now, as of March 2024, there are only 27 Boston Markets left in the entire country. 27! That's less than the number of flavors in a bag of Skittles, folks.
So, You Think You Can Find a Boston Market?
Think again, my friend. Finding a Boston Market in 2024 is like trying to win the lottery while simultaneously being struck by lightning (and surviving, of course). Here's what you're up against:
- The Odds Are Not In Your Favor: With only 27 locations remaining, the chances of stumbling upon one are slimmer than a supermodel on a celery juice cleanse.
- Location, Location, Location: Most of the remaining Boston Markets are huddled in the Northeastern and Midwestern United States. So, if you live on the West Coast, you're pretty much out of luck.
- The Great Boston Market Migration: Apparently, even rotisserie chickens can't resist the allure of California sunshine. Many former Boston Markets have migrated (or should we say clucked?) to other restaurants.
But hey, don't despair! If a Boston Market adventure is truly your heart's desire, here are some tips (emphasis on tips, not guarantees):
- Hit the Road, Jack: Grab a map, pack your sense of adventure, and prepare to embark on a cross-country road trip worthy of a National Lampoon's vacation movie.
- Dial Up Your Inner Sherlock Holmes: The internet is your friend. Become a master detective and scour the web for any hidden clues about the whereabouts of the remaining Boston Markets.
- Befriend a Time Machine Mechanic: If all else fails, well, maybe a trip back to the 90s is in order? Just sayin'.
