I’m just saying why add a bun to the chicken I am already getting? I have a biscuit with what I usually get which is far superior to a bun!

It’s a totally different deal. Non-comps. Both are among the best.

Nope just a normal chicken sandwich like CFA.

Damn, I'll have to try it when I'm off my dumb diet.

I liked that Popeyes did a thing where they put a chicken tender in a small tortilla with red beans and rice. They charged like $1.50 for it. Three of those and I was happy.

She's not wrong. (I'd probably personally rank them 1) Wendy's 2) CFA 3) JINB but switching 2 and 3 would be defensible. (Really, any order is probably defensible, but anyone who insists CFA is much, much better is a zealot.)

Give it to a kid for 30 straight days. If he still eats #31 then Wendy's wins. This is how many soccer practices before CFA loses out to Don sige taqueria.

Actually had €2 in my car and went with the McExtreme Bacon. Pretty good. I also purchased the Stroopwafel McFlurry. The novelty was cool, but it wasn't that great. Though I'd get it again.

I eat Popeyes like once a week. Always a 5 piece spicy tender, with an extra biscuit and a side of dirty rice. No dipping sauce but with 5 packs of the Louisiana hot sauce. Greatest lunch on the planet.

I think at this point if I had to pick one fast food burger to eat the rest of my life, it'd be a Shackburger.

Popeye's is THE constant on nearly every military base and post. The food is so damn good.

When it burned down on Vogelweh (Army post outside of Ramstein AB, Germany) everyone would drive to Spandahlem AB once in a while to get it.

Then they rearranged the food court at the BX on Ramstein and made room for Popeye's. The lines were long from open to close for 2 solid weeks of everyone getting their fix.

Popeye's is a national treasure.

Literal line wrapped around the building for the drive thru and a packed inside for this sandwich, man.

And their systems are down so it's cash only. Last time there was this many people waiting for chicken that I've been a part of the new Popeyes on Ramstein opened.

If it weren't for the Popeyes on base being an "express" and thus a smaller menu, I would've been there.

There's one a couple of miles from the house and I've heard the lines are insane so I was thinking of heading up there and seeing how bad it was. Might be a few weeks before I feel like braving the lines to get another one.

I've been taking a new way home from work that takes me down one of the busiest roads in Houston. I passed at least three Popeye's that had drive-thru lines snaking around the parking lot which is very uncommon.

One man's observation of his local suburban commercial highway hellscape during the late lunch rush is that CFA is still killing it. Popeye's seemed pretty busy, but no where near CFA. The Wendy's, White Castle, McD's and BK dirve thrus were all comparatively dead.

Give me White Castle all day long. Better than all those others you listed. 10 sliders with cheese and a red cream soda.

We went and ate Popeye's out of all of their sandwiches. Maybe Johnnie needs to get a job there and handle the logistics of getting all that chicken into our fat mouths.

We are within a month of the first In-N-Out opening in the Houston area and it just happens to be in my hometown. The thought of a double-double animal style at my local brewery is enough to bring a tear to the eye.

I don't see the big deal about the Panera video. At least if it's frozen the chance of food contamination is greatly lessened.

Having said that, she totally deserved to get fired.

That's awesome. I suspect you'd better prepare yourself for some insane wait times at first though. I couldn't even imagine if there was only one In-N-Out in Las Vegas. The waittimes are crazy enough as it is.
