re: Which chicken do y’all Louisianans claim as the best? Canes or Popeyes?

Friend,
I have tried Cane’s twice. Both times I received among the worst fried chicken I have ever eaten. Popeyes, on the other hand, is a true taste of New Orleans fried food. Even as it has expanded the fried chicken is among the best in the world, and that includes from restaurants. The red beans are top notch. When biscuits were made in-house, Popeyes announced to the world that biscuits are indeed worth eating. Although Katrina probably had nothing to do with Popeyes switching to the premade frozen biscuits, which are worthy of place in the trash, not your stomach, we still blame the hurricane because it was only after 2005 that we noticed the biscuits being terrible. We also love visiting our Popeyes and have nothing but great things to say about the service there.
Yours,
TulaneLSU

Podnuh,
They are blue runner with liquid smoke over parboiled rice, served at an inverse ratio of beans to rice, that is the floor drain of what is acceptable in a to purchase red bean meal.

P.S. Comparing chicken on the bone to tenders is asinine, I haven't found a mass produced fried chicken thigh that can compete with average Popeyes, and Popeyes tenders are better than Canes.

Popeyes is horrible. Their tenders are thin, chalky, dry AF and over-battered. The biscuits are also dry and completely inedible. The only thing worse than the food at Popeyes is the ‘customer service’ by their employees, who have to be the biggest group of lazy morons in the entire fast food industry. Canes has amazing service and their tenders are far superior to Popeyes. It’s no contest, honestly.
