A decade after its 2008 premiere, “Breaking Bad” still has plenty of fans.
Hundreds showed up at the Twisters on Isleta Boulevard on Saturday, which was briefly transformed into “Los Pollos Hermanos,” the fictional fast food eatery in the show, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the show’s debut.
“This was all for the fans,” said Marq Smith, one of the founders of the Better Call Saul Three Strikes fan club, which organized the event.
Smith and club co-founder Edward Candelaria were dressed as the mascots of the fictional business, the Chicken Brothers, and a long line of fans waited to be photographed with the pair.
The restaurant, the same location the show was filmed at, and its parking lot were packed with people and cars, with most wearing their favorite “Breaking Bad” gear.
Twisters director of operations Joe Barraza said more than 1,000 people had showed up to the restaurant by 11:30 in the morning.
The staff were fully decked out in Los Pollos Hermanos aprons and visors.

All this to-do. Never seen the show.
What in the world does “Breaking Bad” mean?

Yes I want to be a Meth Cooker when I grow up!
Get wild, fight authority, engage in criminality....
Overrated show. Plus the lead actor is a Trump-hating “I will move to Canada” ass clown leftard. Guess what? Just like every liberal hypocrite, he’s still in America. I’m talking about Cranston.
Can be defined as “he’s turning bad”...
Good show. Started as a good man doing a bad thing for a good reason. Ended as a bad man doing bad things because when you become morally twisted, you do bad things for bad reasons.
Sounds like a lot of the upper echelon of the FBI better call Saul.
The Internet tubes will tell you it a Southern colloquialism but I’m pretty sure it originated with pool.

With that said - took the first episode to get me hooked. I've binged watched it about 6 times now. Best show ever...
Yeah, thank you Hollywood for more cultural rot.

Turns me off right there. Is Cranston the bald guy who’s always trying to look all pissed off in the ads?
What does Hollywood have to do with car thefts? This wasn’t a show about car thieves...
Yup.
One of the best shows ever made. Better Call Saul is up there too.
Can hardly wait for season 4...
He lives and makes a ton of money but loses it. There is always something that prevents him from getting ahead.
And there are many ethical decisions to be made along the way including murder.
