Popeyes Chicken and Biscuits. That's the way it started out in New Orleans before it was bought and merged into Louisiana Kitchen popeyes. Here are the differences.

1.
THIS is what Popeyes is supposed to look like. Every kid was fascinated and had to touch the big black rocks that covered the building. You didn't know why you had to touch them, but your brain said to do it so you did.
2.
A typical ad (and their signature signage)
3.
Tshirts, cups, their logos were everywhere
4.
Yes, there was even a SUPER Popeyes- it was a different atmosphere and even served beer (in New Orleans)
5.
A sample of the Super Popeyes menu
6.
These lights hung in all of the restaurants
7.
And here's how the menu used to look
8.
Every store was slightly different but similar
9.
This is the guy who created it. That's right, the new company of course stereoptyped with Annie. But Al was a white boy from the south with a love of chicken and a determination to find the perfect biscuit and jambalaya
10.
Love that chicken from Popeyes.
11.
And this was Al and his dream. He passed away of cancer before he had to see what happened to his beloved dream.
12.
Al loved putting on a show for the community, especially at Christmas when he even made it snow at his house for the kids (foam snow, it doesn't snow in SELA)
13.
Another ad
14.
Al loved his big toys. Cars, speedboats, and he could afford it. He paraded it around during Mardi Gras and rode in all of the parades on his boat.
15.
These glasses were in every kitchen during the 80s
16.
Popeye was later phased out to do copyrights
17.
18.
The typical parade route box
19.
Super Popeyes had a cult following. There were very few locations
20.
Onion rings in their signature batter and a good brown jambalaya are all foods no longer offered
21.
Yes, he had a very big personality
22.
23.
24.
The lights around the signs flashed to grab your attention, but stopped later on because it grabbed too many peoples' attention and caused accidents.
25.
26.
We had Cajun Crawfish plates and boxes that were so fresh and made from local crawfish (not the chinese imported stuff offered today)
27.
There was a Saturday morning cartoon line up hosted by Popeyes. Kids from brownie troops, boyscouts and schools sat in the ever changing audience and the kids all got to eat boxes of chicken. Kids not on the show thought kids on the show were eating chicken at 8am on Saturday morning. And that wasn't weird at all.
28.
The Popeye pals pak formed a train if you bought enough and got the right boxes. Their toys sucked though
29.
30.
The uniforms were gaudy but it was the 80s
31.
The recipe now isn't the same as back then. The spicy is mild, the mild is tasteless and peppery, not seasoned.
32.
33.
34.
One of the vintage signs from the side of the building
35.
He was always doing 2 liter deals with a parade box. Look at the old coke bottle of the '80s
36.
37.
38.
39.
40.
Before playing a cartoon, the kids made the special eyeglass sign and screamed "ROLL EM" and then they ate more chicken.

Shrimp po boys were a thing
