Popeye's Fried Chicken and Biscuit restaurants have been in business since the early 1970's, and they have come a long way from their humble beginnings in New Orleans. They own and operate thousands of locations in the United States and international markets, and they have established a niche in the market, that no one else can seem to compete with. Its rivals KFC and Church's have lost a lot of ground in the fried chicken sales segment, and a lot of folks prefer them over other fast food companies, such as McDonald's and Burger King. Convieniently located by major intersections, and in shopping malls, they are hard to avoid. Try walking by one with an empty stomach, and see if you can avoid this chain, that has become my favorite fried chicken restaurant.

I used to like Kentucky Fried Chicken. This chain was known for its steady leadership from Colonel Sanders, who was not afraid to confront a franchisee, who did not follow his recipe and service standards exactly. He was a tough old man, who proved this level of dedication numerous times, and was known for his coarse language. With his passing, KFC lost a lot of its luster, and soon became complacent. The quality of their products diminshed, and a lot of their restaurants were known to be messy, disorganized, and for serving unsatisfactory meals. Church's, although not as well known, had excellent prices for fried chicken meals. However, their product was and still is too greasy, and lacks the seasonings that the other two provide.

Did You Know?
I always thought that these restaurants were named after the cartoon character. However, according to their corporate website, they are named after Popeye Doyle, from the movie "The French Connection."
