I was just in Paris. One of my favorite French cafes got replaced with a Popeyes. :/
My fat american butt eventually relented a few days later and I bought a single breast from them. It wasn't even good Popeyes. Tasted like either they dont know how to make a good crispy piece of chicken or Europe gets sent the scraps.
- timcobb 3y agoI was pretty blown away by all the Popeyes! Ironically I saw a group of Popeyes white collar employees in Popeyes swag on my flight to France. Strange, I thought. Why are they flying to France? Lo and behold, “Louisiana fried chicken” was everywhere. Is it because Louisiana has French history?
- nebula8804 3y agoIts probably them requiring continuing growth and the US is tapped out. Five Guys also showed up, their pistachio shake was intriguing but a huge disappointment. I don't like what Paris has become, multiple French bistros have dropped in quality post-COVID(in my opinion). Also seems like Costa coffee has abandoned the city? Their coffee wasn't anything to go crazy over but it had good memories when I was a broke unemployed dev touring Europe via backpack.
- brigandish 3y agoMaybe you were away long enough to realise the taste isn't good.
