    Before I started actively boycotting them for their support of anti-LGBTQ work, I always felt their chicken was only ok. I think burger king’s Ch’King is way better and that Arby’s chicken sandwich is also superior. When they finally got to my market I was thrilled and then very quickly let down.

      I asked a bi friend of mine his thoughts about the whole donation thing, and they included “it’s a great fucking sandwich” so he’s my out to get one when I am in the US.

        As a member of the LGBTQ community myself, I don’t begrudge you that at all. My feelings on the matter are my own and I don’t need or expect others to conform to them.

        I just also happen to not like them at all so it helps with the boycott 😅

      Unfortunately for most Americans, this is the situation. All of those places have a mediocre chicken sandwich because all of the restaurants are chains. Small businesses struggle with how new commercial areas are built, and chains run on such thin margins it is hard to compete.

      I live in a Chicago neighborhood and have access to many delicious, reasonably priced chicken sandwiches. I have not had the need or the craving to go back to chic fila a since

        I haven’t had Popeyes in so long. There’s only one near me but there’s so much more that I love between here and there.
