THE POPEYES STORY BEGAN IN NEW ORLEANS BACK IN 1972, WHEN AL COPELAND OPENED A QUICK-SERVICE RESTAURANT CALLED “CHICKEN ON THE RUN,” SELLING TRADITIONAL MILD FRIED CHICKEN TO THE DOWNTOWN LUNCH CROWD. BUT BUSINESS WAS SLOW, AND COPELAND REALIZED THAT HE’D HAVE TO DEVELOP A SPICIER ALTERNATIVE TO HIS STANDARD CHICKEN RECIPE IF HE WANTED TO IMPRESS
FLAVOR-SEEKING NEW ORLEANIANS.
EXPERIMENTING WITH THE FLAVORFUL CAJUN RECIPES HE’D BEEN ENJOYING ALL HIS LIFE, COPELAND DEVELOPED A NEW MENU, REOPENED HIS RESTAURANT – NOW CALLED “POPEYES” – AND SOON HAD CUSTOMERS LINING UP AROUND THE BLOCK FOR HIS SPICY NEW ORLEANS-STYLE FRIED CHICKEN.
THE POPEYES CONCEPT IS BASED ON THE TRADITIONS OF NEW ORLEANS CUISINE AND CULTURE AND FEATURES SPICY AND MILD CHICKEN, BUTTERMILD BISCUITS, WORLD-FAMOUS RED BEANS AND RICE AND A LINE OF OVER-RICE DISHES CALLED POPEYES LOUISIANA LEGENDS. IN RECENT YEARS, SEAFOOD ITEMS SUCH AS POPCORN
SHRIMP AND CRAWFISH HAVE MOVED FROM LIMITED TIME OFFERS TO MENU MAINSTAYS.
