Jive Turkey...grab, gobble, barf!

Have any of you heard of Jive Turkey? It is a place in Brooklyn that is famous for selling Deep-fried Turkeys. I first heard about it on the Food Network a few years ago and most recently on the Travel Channels show called Deep-Fried Paradise. They sell turkey year round and it is supposedly the "best turkey EVER." Well, I finally made the trek to find this place to try it out since after all we are in "turkey month." Let's just say that it was....ummm.....HORRIBLE! The picture below illustrates how Alice and I both felt about our experience there. 90 thumbs down!The place looks so cute on TV and the website (you can see it if you click HERE) makes the place sound warm and welcoming. That wasn't the case! It is SUPER small and kind of unkept and the staff wasn't very helpful. The worst part was that the food was NASTY! They boast of having so many flavors of turkeys and great side dishes but everything looked so unappealing. We saw the guy working there take two plastic trays out of the refrigerator and heat them up. We never imagined that it was our meals. Yup....it was! Nothing fresh about those meals! Here is my food. Can you tell what it is? HUGE potato wedges and a small turkey leg that was rubbery, dry, and smelled funky because it had been "nuked" for too long in the microwave. The only cute thing about the place were these jars of cranberry preserve from a guy in Oregon. I was tempted to buy some for Thanksgiving but opted not to after seeing my turkey and wanting to fall over dead. They front door of this place has list of all of the shows it has been on and they have a new one to add to their list. I just saw (tonight) the show, as well as this cranberry preserve, featured on "Down Home with the Neeley's" on the Food Network. I have no idea why everyone is so enchanted with the place....I give it a big thumbs down times 90.
