Ok, so are you saying that the chickens that they sell are unfit for consumption? And to be clear, I'm not getting up in your face here, chicken quality, IMO, is pretty bad these days. Wings at the pub, KFCrap, even thighs and drumsticks from Sobeys seem to be borderline disgusting. I just want confirmation that I'm not crazy.

I used to have a fair amount of dealings with the Hutterites and in my experience they always had the best stuff. Also I assumed undercoverbrother was making some sort of joke about sex with chickens.

I don't know what any of this has to do with Popeyes chicken. But I may have to check it out. I'm not really much of a fried chicken person but maybe this will sway me. I've never been to chicken on the way or the airport place Chick-fil-A.

No,not saying that. Just saying they sell stewing chickens as friers type of thing. The older ones that are done laying are sold to us.

I love Popeye's chicken. Quality-wise it's ok, but I love it because my first and one-time dealing with them was in Vegas before heading to the airport a few years back.

I line up and it's about 10 deep. Let's say demographic-wise, I stuck out like a sore thumb... screw it, I'm just going to say black. Everyone was black. And not Fresh Prince Carlton black. I am not. At the register, I make an order, the lady asks "you want a biscuit or a (something else I don't remember)?"

I order the something else. She goes, "You don't want no biscuit? WHAT THE HECK WRONG WITH YOU?" The ENTIRE line of strangers behind me and people waiting for their order all murmur in agreement. One Morgan Freeman lookalike gentleman goes, "mmmm hmmmm.... you gonna want one of them biscuits."

I go, "sorry, I'm from Canada. We don't have Popeye's where we live. I've always wanted to try."

She SCREAMS, hands on her head like it's on fire, eyes wide as saucers, "YOU DON'T HAVE NO POPEYE'S! OH LAWD! WHAT THE HECK WRONG WITH CANADA!"

Meekly, I say, "I know, right?"

I'm pretty amused at this point. She points to my then-pregnant wife and I get chastised for only buying like a three-piece meal. "SHE HAVING A BABY! YOU NEED TO GET SOME CHICKEN IN HER! YOU THE HUSBAND! SHE NEED TO EAT!" Believe me, the all caps is necessary.

I get my order, which has magically become a five-piece with two biscuits while about 20 people stare at us eat and wait for our approval. Groups of families had now sat down beside our tables despite us sitting a distance away from the cashier. We say something like, "this is amazing", as the entire group then roars happily. They proceed to ask us about Canada for the next 30 minutes. Cashier lady, "Too cold fo' me. You people crazy with your snow and no Popeye's." We finish, leave, and feel like we made 20 new friends.

Anyways, this is my completely pointless story about Popeye's. I kind of feel like I'll need to heavily temper expectations for the Calgary one.

There is alot of true in regards to the Colonies keeping the best for themselves. I see it all the time at the weekly High River farmers market.

Now imagine a Colony selling stewing chickens to a resturant business and saying these are fryers. They would taste old and the meat would be tough as hell. Customers would spot it quickly and inform the business owner with the Colony losing a business customer. Considering how popular the business is and the amount of chicken they go through, I don't see the Colony trying to do that.

Popeyes is ####. People always tend to hype up things that you dont have at home. It will likely not live up to the hype in this thread for you.

I like Popeye's myself, but don't expect it to be much more than a better version of KFC... which is good enough for me as I think KFC is pretty terrible these days.

popeye's chicken is the bomb! what I like about popeye's is their extra crispy spicy chicken. It's much crunchier and more flavorful than KFC.Also, their gravy is amazing. It's not the usual brown gravy that I'm used to. It's more like a Chunky's chicken noodle soup without the stuff type gravy.
