No Fatties Can I Get Some Sauce for This?

Posted on November 19th, 2007 by Colin

I am back in New York! Yay! I really missed all the diseased pigeons.

Diseased Pigeon

Speaking of birds, I had my first experience ever with probably the best fast food chain I have ever experienced. And that chain would be…

Popeye’s!!!!!

Popeye's

Popeye's

This was really a milestone for me.

Since there was nothing else in the Raleigh airport I could really dream of eating, I decided to go for the fried chicken. I had already eaten so much junk with my relatives, I figured there was no harm. Considering that the “meals” are HUGE (like a biscuit, a side, and 2-3 pieces of chicken. I still need to ward off obesity with some semblance of portion control), I opted for just two pieces of chicken, a breast and a leg, and a biscuit. Obvi, I ordered the spicy, cajun wings. Little did I know I was in for a serious blast of tasty on my tongue.

When I bit into the fried breast, grease somehow poured out of the center of the breast onto my hand. This is the sort of technique that deserves a Michelin star. They somehow had put the grease IN THE CENTER of the chicken as well as all around it. Even the finest duck con fit doesn’t have a delicious grease pocket in the middle.

My only major concern was the lack of sauce. Srsly. Like I got my chicken and biscuits and immediatley in my head I heard the voice of a loud, bawdy black woman proclaiming, “Doesn’t ‘dis come with sauce?” Only sauce was pronounced like sowse.

And these very words almost came out of my mouth, until I realized how disgusting it is for me to be craving a generic sauce with my fast food chicken and biscuits. Especially gross considering I was actually eating in the airport at the time.

So to save me the shame of asking for sauce like a sassy, southern Baptist lady, I think the next step for Popeye’s is to offer complimentary sauce with all chicken and biscuits. This would definitely help them gain that second Michelin star.

Enough of this. I have a yoga class to get to.
