Popeyes History

Popeyes is an American fast food restaurant that focuses on delicious fried chicken. Popeyes was founded in 1972 in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is currently a subsidiary of Restaurant Brands International, a Toronto based company.

Popeyes is one of the largest fast food chicken restaurants in the United state, second only to KFC.

We have to be honest, the Popeyes secret menu items are less exciting than many other secret menus like the In-N-Out Secret Menu – which have a lot more secrets and options. Most of these are flavor “hacks” – but if you are a Popeyes fan you will still love them. And they will allow you to experience new variety from the existing menu.

To order – ask for a honey packet and hot sauce when you order red beans and rice. We suggest you start out with one packet of each for a perfectly balanced sweet and spicy balance of flavors. Then if you prefer it more sweet, or more spicy, add another packet of honey, or another packet of the hot sauce.

This sounds simple – and it is – but it will surprise you with how much of a flavor improvement this is!
