Popeye's Chicken Sandwich (1 Viewer)

I'm just joking, but if you have to bake cups into your food, then your food is trash.

Normally true, but this is an exception.

Clearly you do not understand the proper use of syrup and butter in those handy flavor holders all over the waffle.

I think the issue is you have never had French Toast that was properly made.

In the interest of full disclosure, and I know this will shake some of you to the core, but I have never had a waffle that I thought was even close to good. I keep trying but they all pretty much so are meh. And pancakes, while always better than waffles, are generally not good most places. As suggested, if they don't have that bit of crisp on the edge they aren't worth it.

Maybe the problem wasn't the waffle so much as your obvious bias for egg washed toast covered in fine ground sugar.

See, I'm thr opposite, I've had better luck with waffles than pancakes. I like them just slightly golden with a little crisp exterior. I rarely ever get a pancake I really like. I prefer the texture over the spongy mess of pancakes.

That said, by far, I prefer French toast over either of them.

If being biased for egg, sugar, and vanilla washed toast covered in fine ground sugar is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

I'm generally not pleased with the waffles, pancakes, or French Toast that you get at any restaurant. If I'm at a place eating breakfast, I'll generally go with eggs, hash browns, toast, and bacon or sausage.

At home I've occasionally pulled off some solid pancakes, but waffles, no matter what I do to them are just meh to me. French Toast on the other hand I've gotten down. I've recently been using some Belgian bread that is dense enough to hold up but soft enough to properly absorb the egg wash.

And all of that is found in cakes, so you're doubly "wrong."

 

[zeetes]

crepes are so much better than pancakes, but french toast > all.

 

[St. Widge]

I don't know how that could be true when I am clearly right.

Plus, zeetes agrees with me and he's never been wrong about anything.

You said if all of that was wrong, you didn't want to be right. So, I was saying you were doubly wrong. In other words, I agreed with you. And you leave @zeetes out of this!

This thread never stood a chance of remaining on topic did it?

I mean chicken naturally brings up waffles and pancakes are common enough. French toast and crepes now? That's just fringe stuff for fancy times.

This is a Popeyes thread. Not a French Laundry pinky raised thread.

I'll bring it back

My local Popeyes is abusive and incompetently run. They are always out of chicken or sides or their credit card machine is down.

The workers are hostile. One time I waited in line for 30 minutes and finally got up to order and before I could even utter a word they just screamed "We're out of everything!" and straight up told me to leave.

If you do get food, the order will be wrong.

I'm a unicorn because I've never had a bad experience at Popeye's.

when i eat waffles, i 100% have to fill each square up with syrup. i simpy cannot just pour syrup all willy nilly on a waffle...

I like powderd sugar on my French Toast, but it makes the syrup slide right off like water on a ducks back...
