Of course it’s the same recipe


I wouldn't be so sure. I went to a KFC in Belgium and it was completely different from KFC in the united states. They only offered chicken sandwich and chicken strips and the chicken tasted completely different from KFC in the states. It tasted like Tyson frozen chicken strips from the store.

I love how anyone from out of the country hates on everything American, but as soon as we stake our flag over there, there's a 3 hour line to check it out.

Worst one in LA has to be one right along interstate around Geismar thats part of the gas station. Try to stop and get a hungover meal coming back from Nola and the wait is forever and they are out of dark meat half the time

In Colorado Front Range cities you have an issue called "Cane's Traffic"... People sit for upwards of an hour to get that sauce.

Well, the Mauri people of New Zealand are know to be historically obese, so this may work out for them.

Nothing like overbreaded deep fried chicken to keep the cholesterol numbers up there.

Lots are subpar but the crew on Sherwood is usually solid. Your shoes will stick to the floor, you might see a hooker OD'd in the grass outside the parking lot but the food is usually on point... well the red beans are going to be half empty but that is every fricking popeyes.


their parking lot annoys me to no end, its very cramped against that Shell gas
station
imagine a baw trying to get his lifted F250 through there

To this day, my best ever Popeye's experience was on an Air Force base in England. Some young chap named Duncan was attentive, polite, and didn't ask me to pull up because they were waiting on spicy.
Similar experience: Ramstein in 2000 for me except it was a pleasant fraulein working the counter.

Wonderful service and spot-on quality.

I would assume that chicken made a transatlantic flight from Diversified Seasonings because it tasted just like domestic Popeyes.

The staff from the Port Vincent Popeyes would make those Kiwis trip out.

A group of diners were ecstatic as they tucked into their meal of spicy chicken sandwiches and a bucket of chicken.


"It is amazing. It is so good," a man eating through a bucket of chicken told 1News.


"It’s very good, honestly. I don’t even know what I ordered – I’m just happy I got it."


"It’s so juicy," a woman added.

I have an australian friend on vacation in NZ this week and just sent this to him, I don't think any of his family have been to Popeyes.

Line to shitter is going to be a 3 hour wait after they eat all those 3 piece spicy.


They probably tone it down. Non-American whites can't handle spicy food at all.

To get the true Popeyes experience, i would suggest they bring in the crew from the Dutchtown location for a few weeks so they can get that true Louisiana charm.


The worst by far.

Popeyes is opening a location in my 99% white midwestern hometown. I genuinely think it will be too spicy and flavorful for a lot of people there.
