Popeyes Chicken Sandwich

Best thing I've ever eaten under ten dollars. Yes it may kill me, but I'm here for a good time not a long time.


Popeye's vs Chick Fil A

"Okay, let me break it down for the people that haven't had a chicken sandwich from either Chick-Fil-A or Popeye's

Chick-Fil-A's sandwich tastes like it was cooked by a white woman named Sarah who grew up around black people. The flavor is definitely there, but Sarah cares about your cholesterol so she's careful about the breading and grease content.

Popeye's sandwich tastes like it was cooked by an older black lady named Lucille that serves on the usher board and has 12 grandkids that call her "Madea". Madea don't give a shit about your cholesterol because God's in control. Hope this helps"

I'm Popeye the sailor man.
I'm strong to the finish,
Because I eat my spinach.
I'm Popeye the sailor man.

No threads on this board more describe the age gap than threads about fast-food places. Maybe not the age gap as much as the prole gap. Just as I do not let a synthetic fiber ever touch my body, I would not even think about eating something from Popeye's. What is Popeye's?

I've been to McDonald's and Burger King many times. I've been to a Chick-Fil-A (sp?) once. I liked it, and I would go more often, but they are always crowded. The one time I went, I had to wait for a long time, and on subsequent occasions, the queue of cars in the drive-in line was too long. We have this thing in Colorado called Larkburger--maybe they're in other places--and once you've gone there, you don't want to go to other places.

I went to a KFC once. In Beijing, China, of all places. I was indescribably bad. I didn't so much eat my food as dissect it. First I peeled off the thick, rubbery skin. Underneath was a a chunk of glistening, pearlescent chicken rimmed with pieces of pale yellow fat. A watery red liquid squirted from the veins. I turned to the fries, but they tasted like the place smelled.

We have 3 Serious Texas BBQ's in Fort Collins, and I've been to each one. But we also have Nordy's, and it's much better. It's sort of fascinating to watch obese men and women with ugly tattoos shove fatty brisket in their mouths, cole slaw flying out the side, occasionally lifting a huge thigh to fart, finishing by cleaning their teeth with a toothpick. "Gonna go git me another pile of that peach cobbler."

I'm really not much of an expert, because I have been to so few of the popular fast-food places. The ones I've never been to:
Wendy's
Taco Bell
Sonic

I could probably think of some more. What comes into my head are other places. I'm not sure you would call them fast-food places. They are places like Applebee's. Cheap, shitty restaurants. I went to Applebee's once in York NE. It was the restaurant in a Holiday Inn at the intersection of I-80 and US Hwy 77. The women's prison in Nebraska is in York, and I think the Applebee's participates in the work release program. I've never been to a Red Lobster or an Outback Steakhouse, the latter because I loathe the voice of the Aussie guy in the Outback ads.

I'd forgotten about. For example, Jack in the Box. I always thought this was a California-based company. The only JITB store I ever visited was in CA. It was near the place I lived in San Diego in 1970 when I was in the Navy.

I've been to a Waffle House twice and both times in Lake City, FL.


There are a few of those places I’ve never been either.

JITB is one of them.

I bought that book for my brother who, in his law school days, championed fast food proles.

Not to say he (or I for full disclosure) won’t eat a Whopper every now and then.

* KFC chicken is sketchy enough. You’re description of your Chinese encounter doesn’t surprise me at all.

Having heard the internet commotion re the new sandwich, I stopped in to ask if I could get one. I was told it was a 15 min wait. I was floored.

I demurred, but that says a lot about the latent demand that CFA wasn't addressing.

In the town next to me, the Popeyes and the CFA are sparated by a utility easement and a ditch. the CFA is nicer, but the Popeyes had lines out the door this week. Sunday will tell the tale.

They don't hand out chicken sandwiches at communion.


One does not typically walk past a Popeye’s.

You must have ventured well north of the Upper East Side.


It is on 125th near the Metro North station

So it is not uncommon to walk by Popeye's on the way from Metro North to the 4/5/6.

Once after a full day of watching football on the UES I arrived at the 125th street station just as my train departed. Drunk and hungry I found my way to that Popeye's and made a spectacle of myself. It was disgraceful.

Popeye's moved across the street and down the block a bit to a newer storefront. But every time I see it I relive my shame.


It would make homilies more bearable. *

Best thing you've ever eaten for under $10?
by pmcdnd96  (2019-08-22 21:06:37)     cannot delete  |  Edit  |  Return to Board  |  Ignore Poster   |   Highlight Poster  |   Reply to Post

I'm skeptical. I might believe a fast food restaurant could serve the best thing under $5, but there's a lot of good food available for under $10


I stand by my statement

Dumbest comment ever. Popeyes sucks ass and is the lowest of the low brow food. Chick Fila actually tastes like chicken and not chicken shit. Neither are good though.
