Church’s was bought by Popeyes.
Some Popeyes in Baton Rouge don’t seem to have a ‘mild’. You can order mild chicken, but it is just slightly less spicy than the other choice: tongue on fire.
I haven’t eaten any Popeye’s fried chicken since that last time in Galveston. Every customer and every employee was black and we (white) all got food poisoning. Are black people just tougher than we are? Or did they make us a special batch?
After eating a lackluster chicken taco salad from our local Taco Bell last night, I’m thinking about changing from Hispanic back to Caucasian.
I did not know that they were muzzie-owned. But nothng surprises me anymore. I grew up with succulent Pennsylvania Dutch broasted chicken so fast-food dried-out fried chicken all tastes like wood to me, anyway.
What’s funny is that I have just about every other blood line except Asian, perhaps there’s something hidden in the woodpile that’s not in the family accounts.
hey i love Popeye Chicken—better than KFC
shame shame shame on any Mexican American (especially those living in sw USA)to go to these joints.
same for Asian Americans (except those where there aren’t decent Asian eateries)
I am lucky—in NYC we don’t have to go to these joints. Except I do have a weakness for Popeye’s chicken once in a while.
BTW our nation has the fattest and I do mean FATTEST poor people on the planet.... Although I haven’t really seen many fat Asians—I am sure they exist among the American born kids and grandkids.
we used to have fried fish joints (usually run by asians) in the black neighborhoods here in NYC. They used to be all over Harlem. Now Harlem has gotten so yuppified that all those places have gone away. I’d have to go deep into the HOOD in Brooklyn —just to get a nice fried whiting sandwich. I think I’ll pass.
I had that reaction the first time I ate it and again last year, after I moved back to AZ after being gone for three years. I could not wait to get to In and Out and then my reaction was, "eh not as good as I remember".
I was quickly re-loving it. For fast food, it's fresher, cheap and quick.
Years ago, the only Popeye’s restaurant in the Pittsburgh area was on the turnpike rest stop, about 15 miles north of the city. Janet Jackson was in town for a concert then, and “had to have” Popeye’s chicken. She sent one of her flunkies out to the rest stop to get it for her.
There are a few more Popeye’s around town, but they are generally in the “urban” areas of the city.
One extremely positive side effect of Mexican immigration, IMO, is that you can now find excellent Mexican food almost anywhere.
Used to be pretty much limited to CA and the Southwest. But now I can get really good stuff just down the street here in FL. A true taqueria, and really cheap too!
You guys are lucky, at least you exist. Since I do not eat at any of these places, I am deemed a non-entity it seems.
Okay, Dave. I get it. Lots of Honkeys love Popeyes.
we sure do
