As we drove through Warrenton, Virginia (population 9,913), it struck me and my husband, Scott, at the same time. In a quarter mile stretch of road, there was every major chain that has come to define the American fast-food landscape. We were hungry. We didn’t want to get COVID-19. I had forgotten the frozen pizzas in our rush to get out the door. And neither of us had tried the famous Popeyes’ Chicken Sandwich that had sold out across the country in 2019. We set our minds to our new mission.
First, we devised rules:
At every venue, we would order a “meal” with fries and a drink.
We would get sandwiches in random order by getting our meals as they appeared driving up one side of the road and then turning around and driving down the other.
Upon being handed our bag of deliciousness, we would immediately pull into the closest parking spot, each take one bite of sandwich and a french fry.
After sampling each fresh sandwich, we would then pull out all of the sandwiches at the end for a side by side comparison.
But we forgot to agree on a pretty important rule: What were we actually judging here? Best chicken, best chicken sandwich, or best chicken sandwich meal? As you will see below—we didn’t discover this problem until we shared our rankings. Marital discord ensued.

I don’t think I have ever had a decent scrap of chicken at Burger King
Sounds like a ‘study’ grant the government would supply with our tax money.
We've hung out together a bunch of times and I never knew you had a husband named Scott.
I'm kind of shocked over here, true story.
I love the BK Original Chicken sandwich. Chick-fil-A tops everyone, though.
Time challenged ... which was best?
WTF you doing in enemy territory?

Wendy’s, Popeyes, both my choices if available. I’m down on Chik-Fila, not available anywhere near the capital of NY, Albany, unless you drive 3 hurs North to Plattsburgh o 3 hours south to the rotten apple.
So they decide to open in Albany NY. Where? The airport. You must have a flight in or out to have access, so that’s pretty bad.
“I love the BK Original Chicken sandwich”
So do I, 2 for $5 today.
I’ve gotten sick twice at Wendys last year and i only ate there twice- I mean real sick- it was awful-
Could just be the one drive through i got it at- but wow- I used to love Wendys too- maybe my system just cant handle it anymore-
ALL of those are suspiciously close to Moser Funeral Home...
:)
If you’re looking for a good chicken sandwich, OR a good meal, then stay home and make one. You won’t find anything decent at ANY drive through.
Well, you'd have to be pretty stupid then to pay $10 for a sandwich that costs $3, then pay another 15% plus tip to get an uber driver to bring it to you in your basement, cold as ice. Now that kind of genius would also make one vote for Biden.
I wouldn't know, haven't touched one since.
If they aren't as good, that takes some of the sting out, thanks!
“I’ve notice chick-fil-e doesn’t taste nearly as good since they started caving in to leftist demands.”
It was never that great to begin with. I never understood the hype based internet post. The first time I had it after reading all the hype..That’s it??
What’s up with Popeye’s? They discontinued Cajun rice, green beans, and onion rings. Tried to order Cajun rice and was informed of this. Thought it might be a local problem. Looked on the web and found out that it’s nationwide and the rice is only available at limited locations. What locations those are you have to find out on your own. Just seems odd.
