Anyone tried the new Popeye's sandwich? I followed the ruckus this summer with interest, and now that it's back I'm interested in trying it, but both locations are 20 mins away, so I'm not sure it's worth the trip (or calories!)
In 1981, I was in Oklahoma City and my GF said we should pop into Chick Fil-A so we did. Being from NJ, but living in Chicago, going to school in Oklahoma, I've Never heard of CFA, but I did as she asked.
I had the chicken sandwich and hated it. (I personally don't like or eat white meat, so that probably has much to do with it)
Fast Forward to 2000, and I was in Philly, at the airport and decided to try it again, and still hated it.
Fast Forward to 2011, my son-in-law (they live in S. Jersey) said I should try the Spicy version, which I did. I still hated it. It's White meat I don't eat, so I stopped eating it, in 2011.
I heard about the Bru-Ha-Ha concerning Popeyes this year, and I love their chicken, but only eat dark meat. They happened to be out, so I waited 2 months to try it. It came out on a Sunday, so I stopped in at 1 pm and ordered two, both spicy.
Needless to say, I absolutely LOVED IT ! It took me almost 40 years to actually say I like chicken sandwiches, but the only one I'd ever buy is the one sold by Popeyes. Probably because it resembles dark meat more than the others.
Folks don't have to agree with me, but it IS my choice.
You folks enjoy YOUR choices.
