    I have been going all local (except for a very drunk, late-night McDonald’s delivery order) but I might have to fit a chicken sandwich trip in. And an In-N-Out journey.

    Let us know if there’s anything we can do to help. My biggest fear through all of this is kids suffering needlessly.

    Works well is a big stretch. Drove by one yesterday and the line was wrapped around the building twice. Probably takes an hour or so to go through.

    Eating out at a nice restaurant takes at least an hour. I fail to see any difference.

    sitting in your car for an hour is not close to sitting in a restaurant drinking and eating for an hour. They are not remotely the same thing.

    You all complain about Popeye's service. But if you actually want to do something, you'd get a job and make real change from the inside!

    Went to grab a sandwich from a deli for lunch but it was closed so went to Popeyes. Only 3 cars ahead of me in the drive thru.

    Spicy sandwich was excellent; sizable breast and good amount of spicy mayo.

    Decided to get butterfly shrimp as a side. Meh.

    You’re right. If you’ve done it right you’ve left the wife and children at home. Can listen to music, watch something streaming, don’t have to make small talk...

    I’m happy to keep going how this can be the superior experience if you’d like.

    Similar to CFA curbside being faster than drive through, use the Popeyes app to order and pull to the doors with the DoorDash drivers if they have a spot for that. At mine they just come out and ask names.
    Got mine bright out in 2-3 mins. Drive through line was wrapped around and then some. Probably at least 30 mins.

    KFC tests a new chicken sandwich

    (CNN/Gray News) – There’s a new entry in the chicken sandwich wars.

    KFC is testing a new premium chicken sandwich in Orlando, Florida.

    It’s called the KFC Chicken Sandwich, which could replace the fast-food chain’s Crispy Colonel sandwich.

    KFC chief marketing officer Andrea Zahumensky said the brand-new sandwich is better in every way.

    The new sandwich has a larger, extra crispy chicken filet on a buttered brioche bun. It's topped with pickles and spicy, or classic, mayonnaise. It costs $3.99 alone or $6.99 in a combo meal.

    The chain is trying to gain ground in the competitive chicken sandwich market, going against Popeyes, Chick-fil-A and McDonald’s.

    “We launched into this process that we believe now is going to be able to compete,” she told CNN Business. “The ‘Crispy Colonel’ has a lot of fans, but we knew we could do better and it wasn’t good enough for us.”

    It's being tested at 15 Orlando locations over the next month.

    If the trial run is successful, KFC could quickly roll out the new sandwich at all 4,000 of its U.S. locations.

    Grabbed 2 today with the intention of eating both. Got full after 1. Took the second to my mom, she was stunned by how good it was.

    Truly the king of fast food sandwiches. KFC trying to clone it seems destined for failure.
