I'm sorry but Popeye's here pales in comparison to the stuff you get in Louisiana.

Several years ago I was dating a woman that loved the stuff and couldn't understand why I never wanted it since I came from La. then I took her to New Orleans and we got some down there and now she won't eat it either.

This. Born and bred in New Orleans, never eat Popeye's unless I'm home. And I live 2 blocks from one.

I've heard the same thing. I think they actually have her in the Deidre in the kitchen there!

They use the same mix, same cooking processes, same equipment, same suppliers, same ... That's what franchises are all about, duplicating an exact product.

It is not the same, it's toned down for Northern appetites. Go down to N.O. and order the extra spicy. Taste the difference. And in some places in La you can get a beer at Popeyes

On an amusing side note. I went in to one here and ordered my meal with Dirty Rice forgetting that they call it "Cajun Rice" and the manager started yelling at me "Our rice is not dirty!"

I suppose it's the subtle difference between Cajun and Creole style dirty rices.

To me dirty rice isn't dirty rice unless it has chicken liver in it.

Then when you take leftovers home you would only have skin.

Who says Northern's don't like spicy food? Buffalo sauce for example started in Buffalo, NY.

Same here. Just get a small meal, have water with it.

I take the opposite approach, partly in order to be sure I only have it once or twice a year: I get the three piece meal and eat all of the skin and some of the meat. Later I'm reminded why I ought not to do things like that.


We have seriously and sadly disordered eating in this country if this is how we approach eating.

Why go to Poepeye's if you are not going to eat the skin?
