Honestly pretty good ad for Popeye’s…

I love fried chicken and I'm sure I'd be satisfied if I was unknowing served Popeye's at a nice restaurant.

Would you be satisfied that you paid $15 for half of a $10 Popeye's meal and some frozen waffles?

If I didn't notice then it worked.

My point is that Popeye's is good enough that I wouldn't notice.

You ever get their red beans and rice? That stuff has no business being that good for fast food. It tastes just like what you'd get in New Orleans.

I mean, technically it is from New Orleans.
