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.

The funeral home stood out..
Maybe when mapping out ‘fast food’,the computer adds the nearest funeral homes for a last chance warning..
It wouldn’t work on me,but...
“I’ve gotten sick twice at Wendys”.
Me too! Had to stop at a gas station before getting home because I knew I’d never make it over the RR tracks with clean underwear. The two visits were years apart but I had the exact same result both times.
Exactly why women should not vote. Clearly a chicken sandwich contest is about chicken. Considering fries is silly and off topic. It’s like an election where you should be voting for the best person to run the country not what gender his VP is. When democracy ends we’ll all have the women voters to thank.
Dunno, Popeyes menu tends to shift around, but why get rid of cajun rice? red beans and rice? This is serious money lost.
I always ask for added pickles and it just makes my mouth sing.
could just be our systems, but i suspect they have changed something, as i can still eat McDonalds, BK, KFC etc- without issues- or too many issues (I do sometimes feel a little bad after eating in those places- but nothing like i did eating at Wendy’s)
and yep- it was coming out of both ends with me- fortunately i made it home in time-
Popeye’s Classic Chicken Sandwich.....The BEST!!!!!
Nothing comes close to Chick-fil-A.
I like Wendy’s spicy chicken sandwich.
It used to be a lot better, many years ago. Now it’s like jerky by comparison.
Drove through a small town in Arkansas a couple years back; assisted living on one side of the road, cemetery right across the street.
True story.
My folks still talk about that night.
“WTF you doing in enemy territory?”
Actually, Warrenton and Fauquier County both were strongholds for Trump. A bit unusual for Northern VA.
Is he a space alien?
If you didn’t read the comments in the article you missed the best part.
Tried them all. Popeye’s has my vote. I don’t care for their sides however.
Wow - how does he keep that starched white shirt so clean while eating in the car? I’d have sauce/mayo dripping everywhere! Some of the comments people made on the video are kind of funny. He may want to stick to plain chicken sandwiches, not the spicy variety - LOL!
Chick-fil-A with extra pickles and a little polynesian sauce .
I know!!!
