It seems that , which is to fried chicken in Guatemala what Starbucks is to coffee in the U.S., is now offering free wireless internet access at many of their restaurants.

I have to admit that my initial reaction was : "Hmmm, is mixing fried chicken and laptop computers really such a good idea?"

But now that I think about it, I'm actually quite impressed. When I'm back in the suburbs of NY I have to catch a bus for a 25 minute ride to the nearest free Wi-Fi spot, at the . Whereas here, the nearest Pollo Campero is a mere five-minute walk away.

Now if I could only convince them to start selling cappuccinos...

If it's "finger-licking" good, be sure to use paper towels before typing! Unless, as cvander remarked, your keyboard enjoys chicken. Love, Mom

Hey Rob,
Guess what you will find a lot of in your xmas stocking this year? Disposable wipes! Ha! Unless of course they provide them with each finger licking meal?

quite messy with the pollo and all, don't you think? but tasty, lucky "vos" that you have a "Pero Campollo" close to your place in NY, I have to travel all the way to LA (or Guate) to get a bite of pollo.
cheers and enjoy.
