I don't think it's racist. She's supposed to be a New Orleans cook...or something.

As a slight tangent, can we all agree that the Super Popeyes was the best version of Popeyes?


what kind of wonderful place is this that you speak of?


I don't totally remember. There was one in Metairie near Cleary.

I think it had a buffet but I could be wrong about that.

I do remember it had an extended menu. They had some good ribs.

If it is racist, it is only mildly so. I think the issue is the dialect that she's delivering. It is so stereotypical it borders on banal.

You're not going to find CEOs wearing an apron and pretending like they're in the kitchen whipping up recipes and doing the cooking. If they do they end up looking silly.




Silly? Don't make Peyton Manning go to your house and kick your arse. I've seen his knuckles. He's no joke.

im literally amazed. at what point do they portray the lady from the commercial to be a CEO?



I never ever thought the chick in the commercial as the CEO... She is actually pretty annoying... Tries to be funny and is not............... Plus Popeys has many locations that I would not send my dog in to eat..... Plus the chicken seems always dry and they seem to not let the chickens get to full growth... I eat the breasts and they have really cut down on the sizes... Now I will say this.... The new Churches in Denham does something different in the way they cut the breast.... GREAT chicken so far there....../rant.


BTW Screw popeyes.......... The KFC on Greenwell Springs by Monterey you can eat off the floor its so clean.......

Popeye's pieces are smaller because they cook faster.

How is it even possible for this country to keep up with the chicken demands that this country has..I mean just think about how much chicken is consumed on a daily basis... Its mind-boggling if you really think about it................

She has had many acting jobs, mostly on shows I have never seen.

Annie is her character's name for this one. Doing multiple national commercials is pretty lucrative.

I used to work in a poultry plant, and it was nothing for us to cook 50,000 pounds of chicken per shift, on one line. Depended on the product, of course, but we cooked a LOT of chicken.

With the media and idiots on Facebook throwing around the word racist every time they are triggered it has lost all meaning to me. Now when I hear someone say something is racist I just think they are retarded and go about my day.

We need a new word to describe something that is actually racist.

I've deleted 125 of my 300 or so "friends" in the last 6 months. Hidden many others who I need to have in my list, but don't want to see their ignorant shite.

If someone shares this shite on my feed, they are done. Fck those idiots.
