They haven't even been anything close to "Louisiana inspired" in years. This is supposed to be their brand differentiator, but I haven't seen jambalaya or gumbo on their menu in over a decade. Most locations in my area haven't brought back the seafood since 4 years ago despite being on the menu (always out of stock).
I don't see any of these legacy brands ever being on top again. Their most recent idea is selling some nasty soggy wings that are now routinely given away for free with any order. It's about as ironic as it gets that these wings didn't take them to new heights.
Probably because nobody wants it?
I worked for Popeyes 25 years ago. We never had gumbo and people would order jambalaya like every other day, if that. Literally everything was more popular than jambalaya.
All I was saying is that it was on the menu in the past and the decline in quality has been steady for a long time. It's as if it's built into their long term strategy for the business.
I don't know, I'm kind of okay with that. Seeing seafood offered in very land locked locations has always been suspect to me. In a fast food place, I'd doubt it was actually anything other than imitation version anyways though so what's the point?
I have a difficult time understanding how they can have the audacity to charge that much. We got something else instead. IDK who is dropping nearly $70 on an order of chicken for 1 meal.
