[Rob Mercatante's Guatemala Journal] It seems that Pollo Campero, which is to fried chicken in Guatemala what Starbucks is to coffee in the U.S., is now offering free wireless internet access at many of their restaurants.

White Blogs: What's notable about this article is that US franchisees are traveling abroad to hook up to franchise scenes in countries like Australia, Canada, and Japan. There's been a flood of foreign franchise concepts into the US, including refilling ink-jet and laser cartridges, exotic food restaurants, and pet training and grooming services. (via Cosmos)

KyleM.xwell: My boss tipped me off to Pollo Campero, a great place for Guatemalan chicken. There’s evidently only one in the Dallas area, which is a bummer as it’s a little more of a drive than I’d like for fast food (think KFC but from Central America, not Appalachia). (via Cosmos)

[Stargeek.com] Blosxoms, Bryars and Blikis: Unfortunately, this may be taken by some as an Apple bashing post, butit's surprising to find out that the fancy new iMacs everyone istalking about don't include built-in WiFi, but are simply WiFi"ready." Apple has been such a big proponent of WiFi with theirAirport offerings that it just seems strange that this offeringwouldn't also include WiFi -- especially as it would cut down on onemore design-unfriendly wire sticking out of the machine. The articlealso complains about Apple's failure to include a TV-tuner card withTiVo like qualities.

[Dickwray.com] Executive Recruiting for the food service industry: The first franchised branch of the Guatemalan-based POLLO CAMPERO quick-service chicken chain as well as its first in the Chicago market was opened by LEVY FAMILY PARTNERS, the investment division of Chicago-based LEVY RESTAURANTS. Levy bought the rights to open 50 units in Illinois, Wisconsin and Florida from the 33-year-old chain, which operates or franchises some 200 restaurants in Central America and Mexico.
