Inspired by the Popeyes thread. Popeyes is my favorite fried chicken chain followed by KFC, Churchill's, I guess, and the Texas chain that used Foghorn Leghorn as a gimmick. Unfortunately, NYC Popeyes are awful. The one in Harlem with the bullet-proof glass that I used to stop by in line with the indigent? The product was soggy and uninviting at best. The new one that opened up on Dykeman a scant few blocks away totally screwed up my order(I used seamless and they sent only dark meat, not the breasts I ordered). This is starting to sound like a Yelp bitch, which it kinda is. I deal with couriers in my field, I handle people who need to know how to read a ticket/ and, or call the customer or company in order to inform them that there is an issue(i.e. we are out of chicken breasts). I live in a largely Dominican neighborhood. There is a restaurant on the corner that makes amazing rotisserie chicken, however, I learned years ago that even though their menu offers chicken breasts fried, they actually don't. Do not get me wrong, I like chicken thighs, my partner prefers chicken thighs, I will eat them transformed into regional Chinese, for example. When it comes to fried chicken, I prefer the breast. Which brings me to a final point; it has become a joke between my partner and I that I should stop arguing when whatever order from wherever gets f'd-up. New York couriers don't give a shit. He's right. And, enough with the motorized bikes zipping around nearly clipping one. They might as well have motorcycles on the sidewalks.
