The Meal That Makes the Afternoon By Chloe Jones
Hardee’s is my best friend. He provides amazing Chinese food that melts in my mouth. It looks like a Friday afternoon, where I can relax and enjoy food after school. The sigh of relief after walking all that way for my food. The fried shrimp is crispy and the rice tops it off. This food is a huge enjoyment to me because of the people making it. They are the amazing, nice people who don’t mind making my order. Hardee’s is the name of the shop, the red sign popping out from the store. My eyes are happy every time I see the sign. It smells like the joy and love put into it by the chefs. It smells like my appreciation for my sister when she spends her money on my food. It smells like my happiness that I was presented with beautiful Chinese food. This food doesn’t just have fried shrimp with plain pork fried rice, it has the saucy, delicious barbecue sauce. It glides over my food like heaven. It makes me feel like my job is finally complete. But my delicious barbecue sauce has an understudy. The duck sauce. It adds a bit of sweet but salty to my food, and I love it for that. Hardee’s is always a place that I will enjoy, it is like my second home. It makes me feel relaxed after a day of school, and it makes me full so I have food to eat. Thank you for that, Hardee’s. No Chinese food store can compare to it. Sweet and sour chicken, fried shrimp, and plain pork fried rice. Who could ask for more?
