"We are thrilled by the overwhelming response from Koo Koo Roo fans all wanting to have a say in the formal naming of our 'Cluck' icon," said Alan Watts, SVP of Operations, Koo Koo Roo. "We intended to pick just one winner, however, both Ryan and Gavin submitted names that directly spoke to the Koo Koo Roo brand, so we decided to marry the two names resulting in the very appropriate ROOsevelt Clucksworth."
