Thanks.

That Popeyes was a very decent place yesterday.

So were the customers of all races and the staff working their buns off to take our orders and fill them.

The sandwiches were excellent and so were the sides.

I had no idea about this sandwich when it first came out. My son was going there (unaware as well ) and I asked him to get me 2 thighs and rice) I looked in the bag and they filled my order wrong. They gave me the sandwich and rice. I was like ‘crap’. I was disappointed and grudgingly ate it, complaining to myself about the 2” thick of hard fried’ ness over the chicken. Thought I’d break a tooth. The next day I learned that was a coveted sandwich and laughed about it. I prefer the thighs. They can keep the sandwich.

My fave is the ‘dirty rice’.

It is very good.
