Popeyes cuts transfats

Just saw that Popeyes cut transfats from their menu. I am definitely celebrating that move as Popeyes is my favorite fast food fried chicken joint...yes, it's even better than KFC. That faux-cajun goodness is wonderful! Something about those cajun spices, crispy skin, and perfectly moist chicken makes me a happy dude. Hopefully, the switch to the transfats-free doesn't affect the quality...

I was a late-bloomer to the Popeye's franchise. I knew of it but hadn't tried it until about a year ago for the first time.
What a GREAT fried chicken.
But there is a problem. Inonsistancy in quality from store to store.
I would be curious to read up on their business model and see how they try to maintain quality control.
Depending on the store, the chicken pieces vary in size and also in amounts of crispy crusts. So far, the best Popeyes meal I've ever had was on the New Jersey Turnpike reststop near exit 11.
I've since been there numerous times and they are the best i've ever had.

I think I can take the credit for Porthos' Popeye's venture, since I was talking it up right before he went there for the first time (while I was furiosly scratching my head why he hadn't been there yet). But I, too, loves me some Popeye's Chicken. It's my fave amongst the chains.
