popeyes new sandwich

[sue_nami]

jeez has anyone tried to go to popeyes to get a fried chicken sandwich since they introduced the new wildly popular chicken sandwich 2 weeks ago? damn the media frenzy has been wild.

and now they are sold out everywhere. https://www.businessinsider.com/pope...dwiches-2019-8

I didn't ever find one because they were always sold out, In fact on sunday the popeyes on MLK was sold out of EVERYTHING due to UT buying them out 100% that day. today I tried again and there were at least 15 people in line inside and the cars were backed up onto to the street in the drive thru and they're saying up front they are totally sold out of the new sandwich. this has pushed their business into the stratosphere. I love popeye's best of all the fried chicken places. can't wait to get to try the new sandwich, when it finally gets back. any reports of someone who tried it?

To make the best chicken sandwich, you first must wash off the homophobia.

lol true

it was compared to chik fil a as the popeyes version being better. give me cheap drum and thighs anyday (that's Tuesdays at Popeyes).

Chick-Fil-a is bland as fuck. Anything from popeye’s tastes better. The only reason you eat at CFA because you’re a massive fucking homophobe and you want everyone to know it by the brand chicken you eat. It can be the only reason. CFA sucks, I’d rather go to KFC.

This is an interesting perspective. My big problem with it is that the two homosexuals I know closely both have visibly eaten CFA in front of me. YMMV. Some people think the chicken is worth the homophobia.

Personally, them being closed on Sundays is a dealbraker, since that means any sunday I'm looking for Chicken, I end up at Cane's (because there isn't a popeye's close to where I am at lunch time on a sunday).

I tried to buy one for several days in Austin and they were always sold out. I’m at Harrah’s in New Orleans for a couple of days and had one last night at the Popeyes on Canal Street.

Yes... their sandwich beats Chickfila hands down. IMHO

Religious and political beliefs do not matter in taste. Only to the highly offended does it matter!

I tried unsuccessfully to get a Popeye's sandwich on Tues in RR and was told that they would have them again on Thursday morning. They said to come early as they will again quickly sell out with the "limited number" of sandwiches that they will receive. Most likely I will miss out as I have and "appointment" on Thursday that will keep me busy.

Oh well, CFA is close by and they have plenty of both their original and spicy chicken sandwiches.

On the other hand, Jim Cramer compared both the sandwiches and company's business practices on Monday afternoon's Mad Money show.

Cramer liked the Popeye's sandwich but said the best way to play this trend was to buy Tyson's Chicken Stock since CFA is a privately held company and Popeye's is a small portion of a larger food conglomerate, Restaurant Brands (QSR).

Here is link to Cramer's Summary: https://www.thestreet.com/jim-cramer...ug-26-15068181

"The Chicken Sandwich Wars"

The chicken sandwich wars have begun on Twitter (TWTR - Get Report) and social media, Cramer proclaimed to viewers. It's Chick-fil-A versus the upstart Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen and just about everyone is praising Popeye's for their first-ever chicken sandwich.

Long lines out the door is typically great news for investors, but in this case, Chick-fil-A is privately held and Popeye's is now just one of many brands housed inside Restaurant Brands (QSR - Get Report) . In fact Popeye's accounts for just 12% of sales at Restaurant Brands, and while Cramer said he's not against owning the stock, investors should not invest for Popeye's.

But there is a hidden way to play the chicken wars and that's with Tyson Foods (TSN - Get Report) , which derives 30% of its sales from chicken and 88% of sales from the domestic U.S. market. Trading at just 13 times earnings, with shares up 70% for the year, Cramer said he's a buyer of Tyson Foods.

That is if you don't care whose pockets your money goes it! I don't want my money going to support dictators or helping elect idiot presidents, or discrimiinate against a segment of society. The next segment of society they discriminate against could be you!

This is the true racism of America! I do not care who people like vote for or believe in! By the way. Do you realize that chic fil a pays its employees better than any fast food chain? Its employees gets benefits and have access to scholarships to further education. Chic fil a has been voted one of the best companies to work for many times. The owner of the Braker and 183 location paid his employees or found work elsewhere while that location was being renovated. Just setting the true facts straight..
Popeyes buys their chicken from tyson food conglomerate! Where is the outrage over the tyson chicken plant pollution in Arkansas? By the way, the clintons helped easing regulations and penalties of tyson. The clintons have benefitted in return from tyson with large contributions.
Just more facts setting the record straight! All public info and readily available.
Whataburger still has the whatachicken and thats all i need.

Did you just say whack-a-chicken? Oh never mind, I misread your post, it's: "whatachicken.

I eat at Chickfila because I'm too lazy to pack a lunch and its salads are the only good option near me.

I've balanced out the Hate by donating to the ACLU and PFLAG to the amount of $200 a year which is 2000% more than what percentage of money I give chickfila might leak out into anti-gay funds.

To be fair, Chickfila treats their staff great (healthcare, school, opening their own franchise)
If I boycotted every place that has even a smidgen of homophobia from my list I couldn't buy a car or go to wal mart.
