There was once when that was all we had available for dinner.  We had
just finished driving around Mt. Raineer on the 4th of July -- heading
to a picnic in NW eventually (not sure which one).  After we checked
into our motel, we asked about places to eat.  We were told that
*everything* shuts down (small town) for the 4th, except that the
grocery store would be open for perhaps another hour.  Their packages of
fried chicken were the best thing that we could find.
