@drewcarrell1: Popeyes Founder Lost EVERYTHING. Then He Made The Banks PAY Him 👉DM me STORY for the full version, including what the banks didn't see coming.
and Popeyes chicken has never been the same since. especially the biscuits. use to be buttery and fluffy, then turned into hockey pucks

Al Copeland is a legend around here. I could go for a Popeyes buffet. 😁

we lived in new orleans. Copeland was an incredible guy. he was well known for his christmas displays. he would dress up as Santa and hand out candy canes in the 80s

Popeyes’ locations in New Orleans before Katrina was something else. A Metairie location had a buffet. A location in the 7th ward sold grits and eggs for breakfast. To this day you can’t convince me that it doesn’t taste better there. Al Copeland always decorated his house for the holidays with the biggest lights display, I know his neighbors hated him because of the traffic.

Popeyes doesn’t compare or even come close to Los Pollos Hermanos. (Gus Fring) had the greatest recipe 😂

I'm lost.... if they paid for the recipes and got them, why are they paying for the recipes again and again every year

smart way to keep a trade secret though am curious if the receipt was also legally protected (patent, copywrite - not sure which food would be under)?

Chicken still the same. But the biscuits taste different. The stores around me are horrible. So poorly operated. It’s so sad. They’re total fk ups

To be accurate: The first store wasn’t in New Orleans (Orleans Parish) in 1972, it was located in Arabi, Louisiana (St. Bernard Parish).

My dad worked for Al Copeland at the company mentioned, Diversified Foods and Seasoning, my Dad worked there from 84 until his death in 98, he was a product manager and was part of the team that come up with the current red beans and biscuit recipe. I remember taste testing samples as a kid. Thank you for flooding my mind with so many great memories 🫶🏻
