<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" >01 PART- the first in mainland China! The myth of North American fried chicken settled in the magic capital! -</h1>

Popeyes' first flagship store in The Magic Capital was located in the bustling middle Huaihai Road, diagonally opposite the popular landmark TX Huaihai. Before you get closer, you can see its iconic logo and the crowds of people flocking to it, which are particularly eye-catching on the time-honored Huaihai Road.

△ At 9 a.m., the crowd was already dense

According to netizens, at 4 a.m. today, some people have already started queuing! The procession is divided into two roads, Huaihai Middle Road and Chengdu South Road, and is lined up on both sides. Xiaobian arrived at about 9 o'clock in the morning, when the team on the left side of Huaihai Middle Road had been lined up in front of the nearby Door of Master Bao's house, and the right line had turned into the bungalow lane, and it was also missing.

At 9 o'clock, Popeyes' first flagship store held an opening ceremony at the entrance. The media is patting on the back, but... After just half an hour, the queue of diners silently extended from the east of Huaihai Middle Road to the west section of Huaihai Middle Road.

And it has been ranked a little farther away from Shanghai's classic net red shop #Guangming Estate #Big Restaurant. Well, this time it was Shanghai's local influencers who lost.

At this time, the editor can be described as a mistake into a thousand ancient hatred, just finished filming the front opening ceremony, and then go back to the queue, visually can not eat until tonight. The uncle next to me advised me: This is not free, don't queue, give up!

Alas, I can only look at the "people" and sigh.

△ At 3 p.m., I was still queuing, and I felt that everyone was really persistent enough!

But then again, why are Popeyes so hot? In the past, when KFC and Golden Arch entered our country, it is estimated that there was no such grand situation.

<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" >02 PART- The rising star of the fried chicken world, POPEYES! -</h1>

Perhaps in China, many people are not very familiar with Popeyes, but they are not unfamiliar to many people who have studied in North America. In North America, it conquers the stomachs of many people with its oversized portions, delicious taste, and affordable price. For the locals, it is beyond the existence of KFC!

During these 36 years, Popeyes has been located in 25 countries in the United States and Canada, with 3,000+ stores. Young, but not too strong to be underestimated.

But in fact, it and Burger King, as well as Tim Hortons, who entered the magic capital last year, are "mother-fetal brothers" and belong to the RBI Restaurant Group.

·Let foreign people love it·

Under the topic of Popeyes on Ins, you can find that "fried chicken fans" around the world love to go to his store to take photos with fried chicken, or buy several copies with friends and enjoy them.

Via.net is said to have added a brand new chicken burger to the menu last August, because it was so delicious that it sold crazy! At that time, there were long queues outside every Popeyes store in the United States, and scalpers also took the opportunity to hoard goods and sell them at high prices. The pomp and circumstance of the crowded alley is similar to that of grabbing the iPhone 4.

Conquer the American entertainment industry·

Cardi B, Quavo, Diplo, Kardashian sisters, etc. pose as Popeyes on Ins, as if they had just bought some limited edition of big-name luxury goods.

Even Beyoncé is a big fan of it, and at the wedding, she has to pull the guests to eat Popeyes together! What's even more lovely is that she has the brand's lifetime free card, but she is never embarrassed to use it.

<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" >03 PART- Why is POPEYES popular in North America? -</h1>

First of all, fried chicken was originally the national cuisine of the United States. American food culture is dominated by fast food, and cheap and delicious fried chicken is the deserved king of fast food. You can say that the whole secret of American fast food culture is hidden in this little fried chicken.

The second point is also very important, that is, the taste is really good. Although there are a large number of delicious American fried chicken chains, whether it is the old KFC, or the new Chick-Fil-A, Church's, are not as popular as Popeyes.

Foreign food websites have also evaluated the three major North American fried chicken brands KFC/Church's Chicken/Popeyes. Whether judged from the dimensions of crispy skin, chicken, oil and so on, Popeyes fried chicken is on the list. In addition, the high price of the people is also a big advantage, and there are also touching priced items every day.

"Nothing was missing except for the high heat"

"When I used to study in Canada, I especially liked Special on Tuesdays and Thursdays."

"The aroma of the fried chicken skin is so unique that I still miss it"

Looking at the evaluation of Popeyes by foreign diners, I am basically sure of the fried chicken produced by its family.

The third point is the sublimation of the first point and the second reason, which has become a symbol of North American popular culture. Popeyes conquered almost all Americans regardless of class.

Wealthy people up to the United States would never consider popeyes a "bargain" to be a disgrace, just as Beyondcé and Jay Z entertained guests at their wedding with Popeyes' fried chicken. Down to the desperate street gangsters, often the money is not grabbed and then retreat to pack the fried chicken away.

<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" >04 PART- Please put away this "Eat Chicken Cheats" -</h1>

Well, Xiaobian is not blessed to eat today, and can only sort out this "Chicken Eating Cheats" about his family according to the recommendation of netizens. The price of each model is not very expensive, and when the queue tide passes, you can try it

The "fort" that has provoked countless people to go to the town shop where the punch card is a must. It is said that all chicken, whether original or spicy, needs to be marinated for 12 hours beforehand, and then hand-wrapped bread flour on the outer layer of the chicken to give it a full taste of Louisiana cuisine.

·Secret chicken with bones ·

This secret bone chicken is a classic dish of his family's fortune, and it firmly occupies the top 1 position in the store. The secret of its delicious taste on the Internet is that POPEYES always strictly selects fresh chicken, retains the chicken bones and marinates it, and does not destroy the chicken structure.

·Magic Chicken Fillet ·

Chicken fillets as big as the palm of my hand, I look at the picture and frantically want to try, as if the gods possessed it can not escape its claws? (Ah, what am I talking about) But according to netizens, dipped in mustard sauce, the taste is superb!

Soufflé finger biscuits ·

As popular as fried chicken, there is even this soufflé finger cookie? But it does look so beautiful that people want to commit a crime... It can also be paired with chocolate Shinchi, sweet ice cream mixed with salty soufflé finger biscuits for a better taste!

·Various sauces·

Although it only sells fried chicken, Popeyes also offers a variety of sauces, as well as many specials that you don't usually find at other fried chicken shops. Ma ya ~ my choice difficulty is about to be committed again!

These styles recommended by netizens, I have placed an order in his small program, but I can't get it today. According to the staff, those who place orders online today can be reserved for two days to get. But tomorrow the day after tomorrow is not the weekend, I feel that the flow of people will still be very strong, I am still very worried about not being able to eat.

<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" >05 PART-This start, will it stop? -</h1>

For this first time to enter the mainland market, Popeyes can be described as full of ambition, and the harsh words have been placed here: to open 1500 stores in the Chinese market within ten years!

But to be honest, we hadn't actually eaten Popeyes before, so no matter how much we watched North Americans feast on Popeyes on Ins or FB, we could only imagine in vain what their fried chicken tasted like.

In fact, popeyes in 1999, Popeyes had the use of Chinese "Paipais" in Beijing Wangfujing, Asian Games Village and Dalian to test the water, has opened three stores, before completing the dream of "300 in the country", it ended in delisting.

Therefore, for this time it "settled" in the magic capital and its subsequent development, I still hold a wait-and-see attitude. However, the first shot of opening in the magic capital today is still fired, and I hope that its future heat will remain.

I still have to sigh that I got up early this morning and didn't eat Popeyes. Now comments and comments on Weibo have begun to be released one after another. The netizens on the review are a little "angry", and the psychological shadow caused by the popeyes in line today is still a bit large.

via.weibo &amp; reviews

Some netizens only commented on the taste, saying that the taste was average, and there was no local version of the United States. However, the taste of this kind of thing is still very subjective.

It is recommended that you have time to try this fried chicken myth from North America to see if it is really better than KFC, or it is not as good as Haoda chicken steak.

So this weekend, are you going to try it?
