[@mrdadecounty3056]

That's always difficult because every store is different, there's no uniformity anywhere I wish these companies would make uniformity a requirement even if it's a franchise and they don't I've gone to some Popeye's and some is great others are greasy cold it just depends on the employees working there

[@jtekholm]

It's ONE of my favourite PARTS of the video! You can study his face and chewing but it's almost impossible to tell what his verdict is before he's done! Every time I watch the video I'm like "I'm gonna catch the moment he either likes it or doesn't like it"... but it never happens, the man has a poker face! :D I don't know why I enjoy it so much but I do!

There's someone at every Popeye's whose job it is to sit on every sandwich before it goes out to the customer. I'm convinced of that.

[@dr.velious5411]

Oh! I work at Popeyes. The bread gets buttered and toasted before assembly, the toaster dealie is probably responsible for the smashing tbh if not the way the buns are stored. I get my sandwiches free and unsmashed tho :p

[@MainComputer]

@@dr.velious5411 the first ever popeyes chicken sandwich i had was insane, every single one since has gotten worse and worse to the point I can't help but barf every time i get a bun that's soaked in butter.

[@dr.velious5411]

@@MainComputer Yeah that can be a problem, the toasters don't get maintained very well and it can be a pain to make them actually toast. Also, wings etc are typically done in house, but sandwich fillets are brought in pre processed, battered and fried, so there is a case for corporate cheaping out, it can also depend on which distributor is sending in the meats cause I've seen a massive size difference from week to week.

[@RyllenKriel]

I hear Popeyes had astronauts on the International Space Station working hard on researching this sandwich for the past two years. Apparently, the havarti cheese and bacon can only be assembled with the chicken in micro-gravity. If your order takes some extra time at the drive-thru window take that into consideration. Atmospheric re-entry guarantees a warm sandwich at least.

[@Sh1gg1ty]

That would explain the errant over-breading

[@glennbeadshaw727]

Yes I had heard that this was a rumour but it turns out you've got the facts which is nice so it's a space chicken havarti bacon sandwich..... and my suggestion would be that it needs slices of tomatoes which is the best accompaniment to bacon

They have a blackened bacon, spicy blackened bacon and spicy bacon versions too. I've had issues in with Popeye's chicken sandwiches in the past but that was always execution and not the size or amount of chicken in the sandwich, that was always hefty and itself not an issue. I think you may have gotten a one off but who knows the way they cut back everything these days it could be a trend.

[@angelalosole5846]

During Lent I wanted to try Popeye's fish sandwich and was so excited. When I opened my sandwich, they gave me a chicken sandwich and put tartar sauce on it- I mean really? The breading is totally different but actually, it was a really tasty sandwich.

New viewer of the channel. I've been practicing mindful eating lately and I must say that the host of this channel, in spite of eating fast food constantly to produce content, is surprisingly not overweight, patient with his bites, and mannered to an enviable extent. You almost NEVER see that with other food review channels, mainly because in a lot of cases it's just an excuse to eat fast food again, and they tend to eat it quickly as if they're in a rush. What I'm saying is that Reviewbrah seems to be in touch with a good, healthy diet and that he doesn't abuse his body's "margin for error" when it comes to consuming empty carbs (bread), starchy carbs (pasta, potatoes, etc.), or refined sugar (candies and pastries). Of course, I could be missing some important context.

[@snug40pip]

Great idea cutting the sandwich in half. So often they put bacon on one side and tomato or something on the other side and when you take the original bite you’re not getting everything. This way when you cut it in half you don’t have to eat half the sandwich to try to get the flavors of everything. Good job you’re the best. God bless you.
