So it's perfectly acceptable for UAE citizens to gorge themselves on nasty western food, but God forbid that they might do it in a place that is named "Church's".

Was the change the company's decision or the governments? Not that it makes any difference I guess, what with self-censorship being what it is out there.

No way!!!!!! really?
Well despite their claim to be using fresh chicken and what not, I was not impressed. Bt thats cause I dont like fast food anyway. That was a kids taking mom/dad thing.
Not that I care abt that sort of thing.

Google tells me it started as Church's, changed to Texas to market the chain internationally.

Either way it gives me heartburn.
