A Most Peculiar Collaboration

I saw the strangest mural on Damen last night, near the North Avenue intersection.

The colorful piece, which probably measured at least 12'x12' in dimension, hung proudly on the side of a to-be-unnamed southern-style, fast food, fried chicken chain. Or franchise. Whatever. The point is, the mural's content includes two men sprinkling spices and ingredients in to a giant bubbling crock. Mouths are watering, right?

It struck me as odd that along with the two men, were in fact, two chickens. Pouring wine in to the steaming crock. Collaborative kitchen prep for the sauce, marinade or broth that they were certain to be cooked in? And the strangest part of all, the chickens had vacant yet content expressions.

Has anyone else seen this mural on a southern-style, fast food, fried chicken restaurant chain? Is this part of their branding?

Just when I think the main has lost its twisted sense of humor, some corporate cat or franchise owner proves otherwise.
