Popeye’s isnt all that half bad.
But we just got Chick-fil-A, so sorry to the sailor man.
Finally getting a chick-fil-a soon in Reno. Guess Sunday’s will be Popeyes. ;-)
On August 23 of 1973 I had just been discharged from the Air Force. I returned home to Arabi Louisiana a small town on the eastern border of New Orleans. A friend invited me to go get some fried chicken at Popeye’s. So we went and had lunch at the very first Popeye’s that had ever been built. Mr. Copeland started his empire in Arabi and it spread like wildfire! Before Popeye’s he had several donut shops in the New Orleans area and I worked at his Arabi store one summer. He was a real entrepreneur and the locals were saddened by his death from cancer and sale of Popeye’s to an out of state interest!
I love Chick file A but Raising Canes is better. They’re out of Louisiana and don’t think they’re anywhere near nationwide.
The boycott of the Chick introduced millions to the good chicken and the lines are still Long.
Hey, it's not an either-or. Popeye's ... Chick-fil-A ... the Colonel ... Wendy's ... the sheer culinary genius, delicate nuances of flavor, and stupendous range of the American fried chicken franchise oeuvre puts to shame anything in global cuisine. The French are so far in the back of the bus that they can't even smell the good cookin' up front. The only thing that comes close to American fried chicken would be pizza, but pizza wasn't perfected until it reached the U.S., so that's another case of Yankee genius.
