The best fast-food chicken sandwich in America

Last friday over lunch a few of us from work went to Popeyes to get their famous chicken sandwich that's taken over the media  recently. It had been more than five months since I had any kind of meat first, so it was definitely a little disruptive event in the least (particularly for my digestive system). The trip ended up taking us 3 hours in total from start to the end [which led me two staying at work for two extra hours], but the general consensus was, it was worth having spent a Friday afternoon on that just to get ahead on all the plebs that don't want to line up for hours just to get a chicken sandwich at a fast-food chain.

Here's the review I sent to my friends:
Okay so verdict: it's the best fast food sandwich. Chick-fil-e's deluxe spicy chicken comes close, but this is by far the crispiest of chkn sandwiches. It is on the greasier side, but you aren't going to Popeye's if you're watching out for that. At four dollars before taxes, it's worth every dollar. Popeyes has situated itself as a serious competitor to chick fil e (more upscale, more spendy customers) versus McDonald's or Wendy's. It's also a reminder of the huge influence black people have/had over the culinary scene in America, and the general cultural influence black people have/had in America.
 The comment regarding 'black people' wasn't out of nowhere: the entire thing got so big due to something called 'black people twitter', and Popeyes is particularly popular with Black Americans.
