    Agree, when you have to settle for the best fried chicken and biscuits and amazing sides you are still coming out a winner.

    I have yet to try the sandwich, every time I go it’s just madness and I just can’t.

    My wife is watching worst cooks in America on food network and the executive chef from popeyes is the special guest. They are everywhere the last couple of weeks.

    I was expecting it to be the woman from the commercial, but it's some white lady.

    I mean they just threw a few cheetos in their sandwich.

    If that's the case, subway needs to give me credit for the Miss Vicki's Jalapeno sandwich cause I dump half my bag into my sub every time.

    Right about the time the attention starts to die down would be my guess. Popeye's can get fucked, with their shitty service, poor preparedness, and cockroaches.

    Popeyes as a whole must be upset with themselves. Over half the chatter is people talking about not being served.

    Na them being so hard to get has helped build the hype. It's like sneakers, make a shoe that super limited and everyone wants it. Make a million of them and they hit discount. Them running out every day has definitely helped build the hype.

    This is probably good for their competitors as well. Any popeyes regulars aren't getting their fried chicken fix at popeyes right now.

    I mean actual fried chicken and not sandwiches.

    Would advise getting an extra thing of spicy mayo on the side. My first few bites didn't have any sauce, but once it hit my lips...:banderas:

    Today I go for my inaugural tasting.

    Is the spicy sauce mayo-based?

    What is the best dipping sauce for the sandwich? Blackened ranch?

    A guy who rents space in our office building is a "Motorist Assistant" w/ the state police. It's a volunteer position where they get to wear a uniform and drive a squad car around helping with flat tires, traffic issues, jump starts, etc. Basically things that real cops don't need to be doing.

    Said this weekend he got called to Popeyes three separate times over traffic issues the drive through line was creating on a major road here in town. Hilarious

    A friend just called 6 different Popeyes in town. 4 had disconnected their phones, one was out until Friday and the 6th said they had them. Made the 20 min drive and when we got there they were out of fucking buns. Attempt 2 was another fail so maybe my third try will be the charm
