Eh, I like bacon but not as much as the next guy I guess. I've never once in my life eaten a burrito and thought "this needs bacon to be good," and the Mexican flavored burger was fine without bacon too. If it was on the burger like it was supposed to be I still would've been happy with it, but it wouldn't be a completely different experience.

The first picture is white rice, miso soup, and I think that's chicken nanban, basically fried chicken cutlet with tartare sauce on top. Looks like a bed of shredded cabbage under that.
The second picture looks way more Chinese than Japanese to me. It looks like honey chicken. Was the sauce sweet? and is that crispy noodles with it? If so, Chinese inspired dish.
No idea on the restaurant. I have never seen a chicken on a flag before. Find a picture and I'll translate it for you.

Japanese have trouble pronouncing the /l/ sound in English, so they wouldn't generally replace the /r/ in "Fried" with an /l/ sound. In English, our tongue touches the alveolar ridge when we pronounce /l/, whereas the Japanese don't move their tongue up that high when they pronounce their equivalent, which results in more of an /r/ sound. That's why they pronounce a word like "ridiculous" as "ridicurous." They can pronounce the /r/, but they can't get the /l/ due to tongue placement issues.
So your joke should be "Kentucky Fried Chicken Frag."

It wasn't a bacon burger tho. It was a queso Burger.
If they forgot cheese then it would be another story

If it were just a plain Jane bacon cheeseburger, yeah forgetting the bacon would be unforgivable. I'm telling you though, the queso and salsa they use are good. In hindsight I'm surprised I forgot to say that it's not especially spicy though. Like if you get the chicken version you may want to ask for a spicy chicken breast if you have faith that they won't fuck that substitution up somehow.

Domino's is off the list for me now. I had just had a huge Domino's pizza the same night I got the stomach flu. The mere thought of it makes me retch a little.

I wish. Add about 50 pounds of body fat and way, way more body hair and you'll have me.

Cool thanks man. Next time I go I'll grab a picture of the front of the building. I never thought chicken would taste good with tarter sauce but it was awesome.
