I have only tried Mr. Bowen's once, and it's not quite as good as Mary Brown's, unfortunately.
My Dad was talking with the Former franchisee now owner of Mr.Bowen's. The owner said that the franchise fees kept increasing and he wasn't getting much of a profit after paying the fees so he decided to open Mr.Bowen's instead. It's supposedly "the same taste as 8 years" that's what it said on the flyer anyways. TBH I don't notice much difference. I'm surprised he doesn't get in trouble with Marry Brown's though. He used Marry Brown's packaging for a while when he became Mr.Bowen's (Maybe just for frequent Customers?) and the kitchen staff even wear Marry Brown's hats still.
