Invasion of the Guatemalan Chicken

摘要

Carla Flores emigrated to Chicago from Honduras 27 years ago. Her husband, Eric Ruiz, moved from Guatemala. He never forgot his favorite chicken back home-and for that Flores is thankful. We're talking about Polio Campero, the fried chicken chain that's the McDonald's of Guatemala and making a dent in the U.S. fast-food market, with 53 stores in 15 states since its 2002 arrival. Flores and her daughter, Eugenia, drive a couple of miles to a Polio Campero in Chicago three times a month just to get a taste. "It brings us back to Guatemala," says Eugenia.
