March 31, 20232 yr Anyone ever heard of Pollo Campero?https://us.campero.com/When it first opened in DFW about 15 years ago, lines were insane to eat there. I think it was the same in Chicago.

April 23, 20232 yr Anyone had the new Golden Chick sandwich yet? Been seeing commercials lately. One in my hood closed awhile back, may need to make a trek. Quote If the Big & Golden was Golden Chick’s OG chicken sandwich, the new Big & Wicked will have you saying OMG! Our crispy hand-breaded chicken breast loaded with our signature Lotta Zing® spice with 5 pickles and Lotta Zing sauce on a fresh-baked XL Golden Chick roll.

I got the 4-piece to try both the fried and grilled chicken with cole slaw and yuca fries. I doubt I'll go back. I'd rather go to Pollo Regio or the other Tex-Mex/Mex grilled asado chicken places.

September 18, 20232 yr Popular Post So, today was the grand opening of the first Popeye's in Scotland . . . still 20 mins away from the boy in central Glasgow, but he had the day circled on his calendar. His best friend has a car, so an excursion was organized. As they pull up, the parking area is a madhouse -- drive-thru line out onto the street. But the boy is wearing a Popeye's baseball jersey (one of his Xmas gifts last year). His buddy motions over the Popeye's employee managing traffic, and points to the boy's jersey. They open the side gate, and let them around the traffic to park, like VIPs. They waltz inside. The regional manager of Popeyes UK was there. He sees the boy in his jersey, asks him where he got it, and says hold on. Goes into the back, and comes out with a bag full of swag (free t-shirts and such) and some free food (biscuits and sides). He poses for a picture with the boy and his stuff. AND then, on top of the free grub, the boy got £30 worth of spicy fried chicken as well to share with his mates (gotta introduce the scots and limeys to real flavor). Now, the boy did complain to the management about the fact that they do not offer RBAR as a side in the UK. And he said that the chicken tastes slightly different than here, but pretty damned close. He's excited because it will be a taste treat from home that he can get now.

I'd complain to corporate.

September 19, 20232 yr does the boy eat a lot of haggis?I don’t know if he’s even dating haggis. I’ll have to ask.
September 21, 20232 yr Just tried the pimento cheese sandwich at chik fil a. I like it. Reminded me concept wise of a fried chicken sandwich JITB did/does with nacho cheese sauce and jalapeños. I'm guessing this chik fil a one doesn't range from inedible to kind of good like the JITB one.

October 13, 20232 yr Since this seems to be the catch all fast food fried chicken thread, I’ll post here. I tried the KFC hot and spicy wings and thought they were pretty good. Lots of good crunch on the wings like extra crispy style and while the hot and spicy on the chicken wasn’t very hot, it had good flavor and made for basically mini pieces of spicy fried chicken. It was better than the last couple times I got a 3pc spicy dark from Popeyes and just as filling.
June 16, 20241 yr Went to Popeye’s for lunch today, sandwich is still the King but damn if this wasn’t the 2nd trip in a row that the red beans & rice sucked. Not sure if it’s this particular store or they’ve changed throughout?

June 16, 20241 yr Its had an oily texture, beans not really tasting like beans. I'll have to try another location to see if it's an isolated issue.

July 9, 20241 yr Craving some fried chicken. Went to the Popeye's by my house. $14.99 for a four piece box with two sides and a biscuit. You're dead to me, Popeye's.
July 9, 20241 yr 2 hours ago, shadow_operative2.0 said: Haven't tried one yet, but KFC's sandwiches are 50% off online currently. I find the KFC ones to be very underrated, better than most others. Unfortunately, the spice comes via a sauce, which I dislike, so I just get the regular ones "dry" and then spice 'em up at home. Very tasty and 1/2 off is definitely a bargain, imo.

February 22Feb 22 Popular Post So, some months ago, the boy camped out outside the new Popeyes in downtown Glasgow for their grand opening, because fuck it, why not. He was something like third in line, and was already wearing his Popeyes baseball jersey. The head of Popeyes UK loved him.So, he got a free bucket hat, free chicken sandwiches for a year, and these….which they had to custom make. And, in typical Popeyes fashion, they took FOREVER. As in, he’s not presently in the UK, so he had them sent to his sister in London.And they are….awesome.

March 2Mar 2 Dude the CEO of this company is smoking crack. I just went by with a coupon for a $6 3 piece tender, side, biscuit. This is what I got: I got 6 tenders, double fries with a biscuit. Popeye's does not give a damn. You never know what you're getting when you pull into that drive thru. Honestly maybe triple fries. They fucked me up. Edited March 2Mar 2 by ztejas
April 11Apr 11 These are not bad to have around for a quick fix when the craving for a chicken sandwich hit...
April 11Apr 11 1 hour ago, Underdog said: These are not bad to have around for a quick fix when the craving for a chicken sandwich hit... Such an abomination on the Popeye's thread. I went in for a sandwich last week at 11:30AM and got told that they wouldn't have the sandwiches for "30 more minutes because we forgot to prepare them this morning." The 3-piece spicy was a great consolation prize, but man if they aren't the most interesting, head scratching place in town. My coworker swears he went by an hour before closing one time and they were pretending to be an automated message saying they were closed. His theory is probably true considering never before or since have we heard an automated drive thru response at that location.
