It's been a long time since I've eaten chicken from Popeye's. There are just too many other restaurant choices around. They were, however, one of the few places along my route home from work last night that was still open. This is a fairly new location, in a plaza that's still mostly under construction. It's spacious and bright with lots of seating.
I ordered the Thursday special, three pieces of fried chicken, for takeout. It's a decent deal for 4.99 but does not include any sides. It was still hot and crispy by the time I got home and the meat was moist. Good flavour.
Unfortunately, this morning I was reminded why I haven't eaten at Popeye's in such a long time. There is something about it that upsets my stomach. I can no longer view this as coincidence. Sorry Popeye's, I like your chicken but I just can't eat it.
