      I used to make Popeyes biscuits and they got mad at me for rolling them out a little thicker than normal so they'd be soft. My biscuits flew off the warmer while the other biscuits in there just got jealous. They make you roll them out between two metal bars attached to the table and they not sposed to be any thicker than the bar.

    • @jreyman

      I would agree, they are like hockey pucks. However considering they are comparing them to scones (which they are more familiar with) yes, they are fluffy, in that comparison. Scones are closer to concrete hardness.

      The red beans and rice are actually the only thing I think is worth going to Popeye's for. Their other food isn't *bad* but it's nothing special and a little overpriced (though that's basically all fast food these days so nothing against them specifically). But a bowl of red beans and rice with a packet of Cajun Sparkle mixed in is the best.

This sandwich was so successful that all fast food chains began offering their own knockoffs, none of which can remotely compare. Congrats, guys!

    Just a tip here on how to drink items like sweet tea. The point is not to sip it up all at once. In the southern heat, the ice will melt. So instead of your drink being watered down, you will retain the flavor of the drink. As for the Red beans and rice, you have to mix the rice with the beans before eating. Enjoyed the video. 😊

    Al Copeland, the founder of Popeyes, had originally opened a restaurant called Chicken on the Run to very little success in 1972. He closed down to rework his recipes and reopened only three days later as Popeyes Mighty Good Fried Chicken, taking the name of Gene Hackman’s character in the film “The French Connection,” which was released only the year before.
    In the movie, Hackman played Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle, a New York City cop obsessed with taking down a drug operation. It won five Oscars at the 44th Academy Awards. And it had nothing to do with fried chicken.

      I couldn't tell if they got the spicy or regular on the bone chicken. It looked like it wasn't the spicy and, in my book, the main reason you go to popeye's is for the spicy fried chicken. One other thing is that, where I live (Dallas, Tx), they have discontinued their cajun rice and it was my favorite side. Has it been discontinued at all the locations?

Just as KFC being associated with Louisville, where I had the most disgusting chicken meal. I now live in the NW and avoid both chains.

    My name is Timothy Lee,I'm an old 72 Year old US Army veteran US Military police Corp. Only watched your site on UA-cam a couple of times and it's already one of my favorites. I love the way u all are so adventurous and willing to go anywhere and try anything to eat in the USA and believe me that takes a bit of courage, I know. U remind me of me after I got back home after servicing over seas in the early 70s. The US wasn't to friendly to all us serving in a certain country way back then so instead of staying home I traveled to Europe and ended up staying for over 10 years. I traveled all of Europe, Asia, Africa and loved it all. I was like y and ur family, I couldn't get enough of all the beautiful things I had seen,the beautiful people and all the great food I had tried. To cut it short keep the adventurous side of ur family going,to me u all are KICKASS awesome,i love ur beautiful family.
    P.S. if u really like to try a great dessert try strawberries washed and green cut off , dip first in sour cream,then finally dip in brown sugar. I believe u will love it.

A lot of families seem to have personality clashes & misbehaved bratty children but your kids were a breath of fresh air. Very well mannered & very well behaved. Even some husbands & wives don't know how to talk to each other properly or respectfully. No one seemed to be talking AT each other or OVER each other & no one seemed to be irritated, annoyed or disappointed with each other either. You guys actually listen to each other & respond to each other with a sense of urgency & eagerness. I mean, I do understand that it IS UA-cam after all & you guys have control over editing & maybe some things were edited out (maybe) but everything seemed to be good smoothly during the entire vid. I realize I'm sure your kids have "off days" where they might behave better than other days in the privacy of your home & @ school but in this particular video, it was impressive. You may or may not be a "perfect" family but you guys seem to be a reasonable, personable & respectful family. Which is truly a relief & a breath of fresh air. You guys Rock! 🎸 I enjoyed the actual review of the Food as well & each & every one of your comments & opinions. Great family you guys have, great content & great review! Peace & Blessings.

    I have never seen anyone react to Popeyes this way and I am cracking up 🤣 from the first bite, yall were hooked and couldn’t stop eating 😭 but I love it! I’m just so used to having Popeyes around that I never wondered how people would react that don’t. I truly enjoyed this content, thanks for sharing 🤗

    What a chaotic episode. Watching Denzel murder those sammies and Atlanta waxing on the food coma were adorable. Great video!

    Unfortunately in the US, because of health concerns our McDonald’s has gone to baked apple pies instead of the fried pies of the past. I believe the fried is much better.

      And the AMAZING fries fried in fat instead of the vegetable oil they use now. That killed their fries for me. They used to be my favorite until the switch.

      I think McDonald's just uses that as an excuse. I think there's a cost-effectiveness element that goes into the reason they sell us the baked ones.

    I didn't see you guys try it, but dipping a spicy tender in the mashed potatoes and cajun gravy is the most satisfying taste you can get at Popeyes! You have to try it next time. I actually scoop the potatoes with the tender to get a lot on there!

    I saw the title and thought "Gosh, I hope the food is all fresh. Otherwise, this will be a disaster". 😂 Glad you like most of it. Enjoyed watching the kiddos trying out the food from Walmart. So fun and cheered me up! 💖

      Noone cares that you don't care. The lack of caring doesn't make you cool its the caring so much about something that you have passion for it that makes you cool. If you don't care about anything then you might as well be in a coma, Blake.
