I swear I once read a story about how Colonol Sanders was inspecting a KFC, stuck his entire hand in either the gravy or the mashed potatoes, then pulled it out to taste it and judge its quality (I do not recall if he was satisfied).

I can’t seem to find such a story again, so I have to assume I either read it here or it was a wholesale invention of my brain.

There's a story that he once visited a franchise, sampled their food, and promptly kicked out the manager and told the line cooks how to do it right.

There's a fun dollop on him, dude was loving insane.

His wife kicked him out/he left his family, I forget, then later came back and hid in the woods by his house waiting for his kids to come out and play so he could kidnap them.

He waited a whole day and they didn't come out so he just went up to the house and asked to be taken back, and was.

they will also take the honey-butter biscuits and dump frosting on them as a 'dessert'



those calories are frightening jesus christ

Sometimes they use the honey butter biscuit batter as breading for the tenders...

the bbq sucks rear end

blackened ranch is okay, mardi gras mustard is better, and just asking for a side of gravy as the dip is pro-tier

Seems to be almost no matter where you go. There's always a KFC like 2 blocks from a Popeye's and it's confusing that anyone is going to the KFC with a Popeye's so close by...

My family and I had Popeyes for lunch today and we got so many free tenders.

But my wife had normal fried chicken and got exactly what she ordered.

The moral of the story is to eat tenders.

i have a theory that all the rave reviews of the popeyes chicken sandwich when it first came out were just because white people outside the south were eating fried chicken for the first time. regular popeyes chicken is vastly superior to the sandwich but a sandwich was an accessible thing white people were comfortable eating so they freaked out because omg fried chicken is good, actually

I am fairly certain that fried chicken was a popular food in many places including all parts of America prior to the introduction of the Popeyes sandwiches.

Even outside of American fast food, chicken schnitzel exists. Karaage exists.

Yeah fried chicken is like a universally beloved food in America, if anything it’s because most commercially available chicken sandwiches historically have been closer to hot dogs (soy, filler, water, mechanically separated meat in that order :yum:) compared to an actual brined and breaded breast of chicken. To many people it is absolutely a new thing

I’ve only had one once and it was decidedly mediocre. Same with their tendies. Maybe I just hit them on a bad day, but if I’m going to Popeyes I’m gettin real chicken from now on.

Chik fil a is a joke. The sauce is pretty good, but the chicken is completely unseasoned. The sandwich sucks. The waffle fries are similarly unseasoned. Dreadful restaurant.

Id say try it again some other time. I still go for Popeyes for the fried chicken, biscuits and redbeans myself, but I did enjoy the sandwich a great deal and will now and then grab another one.

Popeye's chicken sandwich is great for lunch. The fried chicken is great for dinner. Although getting the chicken tenders are also good for dinner and sometimes they give you extra tenders, but I have never gotten extra pieces of chicken...

i get real chicken for weekend lunch and its so good. lickin all the grease off your fingies afterwards is the best part, but you gotta plan a nap afterwards and also you need to have a coke afterwards because youre gonna get sweet tea with your lunch and its gonna be good but it's pretty heavy, so youre gonna need some caffeinated bubbles after all that

Here you are, getting something you didn’t even pay for in the grand Popeyes tradition, and complaining about it.

Chik fil a has better drinks. Their Arnold Palmer is delicious as are their shakes. The chicken is consistently just ok.
