I've been turned off Popeye's for awhile now.. Their spicy Chicken is awesome when it's fresh and hot, but every Popeye's I've been to in Houston the past few years has been terrible at best.. It's like the staff has given up and they're not even trying anymore.. There is a Popeye's in Metairie Louisiana that always has hot and fresh food, I've just never experienced it here at a Houston Popeye's..
I generally hate fast food, but I love Popeye's. The problem - it's always very far from wherever I live, the pieces of chicken are tiny, and considering the portions it's pricey. I'd jump on this but I don't want to drive 20 minutes for it.
The one off of I-10 and Federal is awesome at lunch. Always hot, always fresh, damn good. It's gonna kill me.
For a proto-human living in the Serengeti, feasting on roots, grasses, and small animals when they could be caught, these are very valuable foods. Fats and grease are incredibly dense sources of calories. If you are a hominid scavenging for food, you aren't worried about getting too fat. You are worried about starving to death, and a small amount of fat is very good at preventing that. Salt, too, is rare, and sodium is incredibly necessary for life. Sodium and potassium are necessary for regulating osmotic pressure in your cells. People suffered from widespread sodium deficiency right up until the last few hundred years, and sodium deficiency can be just as fatal as an excessive amount of sodium. So the problem is that these things are so easy to come by now, but our bodies are hardwired for a world in which these things are very rare and at the same time valuable for survival.
I ended up not going. Maybe tomorrow in honor of the Vets or Thursday in honor of me because I am off.
if you dont like popeyes i doubt you have soul. when i get my spicy chicken strip basket i always end up dipping it my red beans and mashed potatos, so this new bowl is just like cutting out the middle man. i will get one of these, and it will be glorious. new orleans has a popeyes in the airport... another reason nola dominates.
I can't wait to try one of these... People here must have weak stomachs if one meal from a fast food restaurant gives you explosive diarrhea.
Fatty, I thought of you when I was lying flat on my stomach and after I had drunk half a bottle of Pepto-Bismol this past Saturday night. I truly ate that day like you probably eat every day of your life. Here's what I ate (for those that are squeemish or easily vomitable, you may not want to read any further): A bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch with a glass of Sunny Delight 3 glazed donuts (plain) 9 donut holes with a little jug of milk A ham sandwich A dozen sour cream and onion potato chips with a 12 oz aluminum can of Mello Yello A sausage and cheese croissant 4 to 5 nuggets of sweet and sour chicken from the local Chinese restaurant A bowl of egg drop soup 2 mozzarella sticks 2 sugar cookies 1 fortune cookie A bowl of Superman ice cream All washed down with 2 big glasses of coke Never again, will I eat that much in one day.
