Were the chicken sandwiches grilled, deep fried, blackened?
Fried-ish, more of a breaded patty. Kind of like a big McNugget except really good.

I need to check if Popeye’s is still open, I’m hungry now!

We have a Popeye’s in Springboro.
Not highly-recommended by the few persons I know who ventured out there. Ratings don’t seem to be very good either.
Maybe different in other cities.
I had an Enquirer subscription 97-99. I always had trouble that the Sunday edition would disappear if I didn’t grab it before 10am.
You place an order. At most other restaurants, you would wait for the food. This is not the case at Popeyes. The order, having been placed into their system, is now reviewed by a central computer housed somewhere above flood level in the New Orleans suburbs. It’s probably in Metairie. Metairie feels like the right place to put a giant supercomputer dedicated to rectifying incorrectly arranged fried chicken orders.
No, the food is then rearranged into the proper order for you by the AlTron 4800, and beamed back to the restaurant for packaging. You ordered a two-piece spicy with red beans and rice? No, you got a three piece mild with green beans. There are two biscuits in the bag. Why? Because the AlTron 4800 knew you were a little weak in terms of gut flora, and that you needed some easy chicken work to go with that necessary vegetable matter. The lack of red beans and rice is to teach you humility; the extra biscuit is to remind you that blessings, while random and surprising, are real. God might not respond, but he doesn’t cheat you. Neither does Popeyes.

Popeyes karma is real.

During my sophomore year, Wells got a soft-serve ice cream machine. And in that era, the meal plan was basically 21 meals a week or nothing with no a la carte points stuff. It took dining hall management about two weeks to realize they couldn’t leave the soft-serve machine on for breakfast. (Related: A bowl of vanilla soft serve topped with Captain Crunch is likely instant diabetes but pretty good – at least when you’re 18 and bulletproof.)

Interesting. A central chicken command hub…This is basically the Fed Ex system Fred Smith pioneered. I find it extremely compelling.
Wait wait wait………
Soft serve ice cream covered with Captain Crunch? That’s the Rosetta Stone to deliciousness!
We agree to disagree re: the captain. I sailed with him for a good number of years until captain Crunch mouth set in. Destroyed the roof of my mouth. That stuff may well be sugar flavored shards of glass.

Where’s the love for Fruit Loops?

I fully agree. Fruit Loops or Fruity Pebbles-covered soft serve ice cream sounds far superior.
Coco Puffs and vanilla soft serve. Breakfast of champions.

You EARNED that diabetes. And it was so worth it. Sooooo fking worth it.
Then topped off with Kroger-brand Mt Dew & SoCo in a Hardee’s supercup while watching college football? Oh yeah.
No wonder we’re all on meds!
If I ever got to shoot a Super Bowl commercial for Lucky Charms, I’d donate my director fee to our NIL and then just cut old animation footage of the kids chasing Lucky after his lucky charms and set it to Daft Punk’s “Lucky”. My wife got mad at the boy because he ate all the marshmallows out of the box. I said to her “sister, it’s martial law when you bring that box home.”
Ok this is all way off topic. My apologies.
Edit: oh, of course I should…
