Except the portion sizes are small.

What's small about Chick-fil-A sandwich? It's normal size sandwich. Chick-fil-A sandwich, waffle fries, and Dr. Pepper is $5.79 here and has been the same price for at least a decade. Chick-fil-A sandwich only is $2.79. Again, the same price for about a decade. And food quality has remained consistent along with the best customer service of any fast food restaurant. It's a pleasure to eat there.
 
I had never gone to Chick Fil A for breakfast and while their chicken sandwiches were pretty good but not amazing, I tried their spicy chicken breakfast biscuit and HOLY CRAP, put on some Chick Fil A sauce on it and damn that thing was so good. Probably the best breakfast thing from any national chain. It could have been spicier but damn it was so good.

Yeah but you guys have all the poutine you can tolerate.

....though I'm not sure I envy you.

One of these showed up in Berkeley about 2 years ago (hmm, now looks like there is one in DC...), and I must say that it is pretty terrible.

I like the idea of poutine, but I imagine that one of the things that makes it great: gravy + fries, is also it's downfall. You need super duper fried fries lest they get soggy really fast. Then it's just disgusting.

D: oh damn--that one is opening near work, again! (campuses, go figure). It looks like they are going from 100 stores in Canada...to hoping to upon 1300 stores worldwide in 5 years?

lol, this has Krispy Kreme expansion failure all over it. 😀

Smokes is pretty 2nd (3rd?) rate poutine, bad fries, so-so gravy and incredibly overpriced for what you get.
 
Taco Bell: 7 layer burrito, mexican pizza, XXL grilled stuffed burrito, cantina power bowl (just about everything they have really since everything on the menu uses like the same 7 ingredients), cinnamon balls filled with yummy goo

Canes: Chicken tenders and sauce

Popeyes: Red beans & Rice and Biscuits

Wendy's: Crispy Chicken Sandwiches. They also used to have a good salad (I forget what it was called but it had guacamole, chili to pour on top, and some sort of jalepeno dressing) that was quite large and reasonable priced. Now their salads are small, overpriced, and suck.

Sonic: The cinnamon poppers, reeses master blast, french toast sticks

McDonald's: Sausage McGriddle

...and here it is. you can barely see it, but the red onion truly makes it. An atrocious $5.19 for this thing though; at least the fries were godly on this day.

wow though--sad the number of cultured people that think Popeye's is better than the clearly superior Bojangles. 🙁

We haven't got them 🙁

the only bad thing about Popeye's is their absolutely terrible biscuit. if only Church's would open up next to Popeye's, I can go to Popeye's for their chicken but get my biscuits from Church's.

Man, if you think Popeye's has a bad biscuit, I'd hate to hear your opinion of KFC biscuits.

And man oh man do I LOVE their frozen (frosted?) lemonade, that thing is amazing on a hot day! I need to dig up a copycat recipe for it...

Ugh, I got one free last year, and I felt like it wasn't worth half of that.

KFC biscuits go straight to the trash, I can't even remember the last time I ate one. Those KFC potato wedges are awesome when fresh though.

Bojangles is alright but it's not the holy chicken zinfamous makes it out to be. Different people prefer different style. Bojangles has the juicier chicken but I prefer crisper fried. So I prefer Popeye's to Bojangles. But he is correct that Bojangles have excellent biscuits, probably the best.

Popeye's and KFC biscuits are terrible but honey can make almost anything taste good.

Now I really want some Popeye's. There's one near Harbor Freight, and I'm sure there's some kind of new tool I need...

kill yourselves now if you eat all this shit.

How about you just kill yourself so you'll be spared the indignity of us liking things you don't approve of, and having the gall to admit it openly?
 
Today is $1.49 legs/thighs at Popeyes - if there was ever a day for y'all to go, today is it.

Is that nationwide? God I could go for some crispy fried chicken way better than that crappy and flavorless Bojangles.
 
Came back from Publix but it was $7.99 for the 8 pc fried chicken box. So I bought the family combo with the 8 pc chicken, 16 oz side of coleslaw, 16 oz side of macaroni salad, and 4 pc King's Hawaiian rolls for $12.49. Now I can satisfy the fried chicken craving.
 
I can confirm that with enough butter/honey, the Popeye's biscuit becomes edible.

oh btw, here I am balling out of control:
