Serious question: how are there not rules against this?



Popeyes bought the right to Diversified Food's (Al Copeland's company that still supplied Popeyes and other Copeland's ventures w/ seasonings and food, etc) recipes in 2014 for $43 million. Id imagine their legal team is on this.

So yeah, if they are literally using Popeyes' recipes, they are acquiring them illegally and breaking the law selling the product as well.

If they made a replica recipe that closely mimics Popeyes, not sure there is anything that can be done

It said they saw the popeye box whisked into the kitchen. They are not taking the time to steal recipes just using a done product on their plates.

Yeah they are straight up going to Popeyes, buying chicken, walking it into the kitchen, and plating it. No recipe required.
