tried the popeyes one like 4 times and it has always been rubbery, I think they were/are so popular they make a bunch of them prior to lunch at my local popeyes. I eat lunch early so I may be getting the ones that sit in the heat lamps.

Chick fila sandwhiches are just boring to me. Even hot fresh, they taste good but never excited to indulge as a treat.


It seems like all the nuggets and patties at the grocery store are on to the whole "light breading and pickle juice" bandwagon that they started though. I think Tyson brands southern style, if you airfry those things and stick in a bun it tastes identical to chick fila to me. Super quick and decent packed lunch for cheap. I ate 2 today single pickle and all.

I think where you go and when you go makes all the difference when it comes to fast food.

On Chic fil a, order one but also ask for their avocado salad dressing, if you like avocados anyway. Putting some of that on their sandwich really livens them up.

Worst chicken sandwiches are at Shake Shack for 3 reasons, and 1 of these may be due to the one close to me that has terrible workers, though the burgers are at least consistently good.

1. Very expensive, $10
2. Smallest fast food chicken sandwich of all I've ever had
3. Poorly prepared. Whether the regular or their special flavor versions, they all suck in terms of putting together a quality chicken sandwich for 10 f'ing $. But that's probably the one close to me. The one close to the movie theater in Boston I go to has much better burgers than the one local to me.

Popeyes has great sandwiches that huge for $4

No...I'm pretty sure the ones I've been to are the same...it's just me not liking a thick white meat chicken slab. Too dry for me.

The closest Shake Shack to me is in Detroit...a three hour drive.
Whenever I hear anything about SS, I think of this video... (the best part is halfway thru it)

Then the gal in the kitchen, when finished with my tacos, handed me my order. By the time I had left the building and opened the bag I found two regular tacos.

They both failed these simple tasks. Good help is hard to find...
And these people will be paid $20/hour in Kalifornia.
