You're Going To Chow Down Like A Sad Fatty

[Brandon]

But my favorite part is that coq does mean cock. So I always look at my wife when I'm eating it and say "how does it make you feel that I'm putting french cock in my mouth?"

Oddly, she doesn't think I'm all that funny.

Correct.

There are some football (soccer) teams that are names after roosters, etc. with the name coq in it.

I once had a bucket of Popeye's and washed it down with a quart of Ripple...

It's basically the same thing right?

just recently started eating popeyes. Had always ignored it for kfc, but i think i like it better.

More importantly...i had pioneer chicken this weekend....and it was worth the drive

this is the grown up equivalent of me telling my 7th graders not to bounce their (basket) balls outside my door.

I've lost 18 lbs in the past 6 weeks but Friday morning is still for blueberry pancakes and bacon.

Is it me or did kfc used to be better? Maybe im just nostalgic, but i feel like it was a lot better back in the 80s/90s.

When I was working in St Louis a couple years ago I went to KFC and was very disappointed. Big fatty, greasy, fairly tasteless pieces. It's actually much better over here where the chickens aren't on the juice.

[Homebrewer]

KFC sucks. Always has IMO.

Except for In n Out a few times a year, I just quit eating fast food altogether about 20 years ago.

Don't miss it. In fact the smell nauseates me now...

I somehow missed this thread until now...I cook.

In fact, when I see or talk to old GFs, all they seem to miss about me is my cooking. 

[Brandon]

But do they remember you coq?

Or did you never cook that for them?

funny you mention that. I had popeyes for the first time overseas, thought it was amazing. Here its still pretty decent, but not as good for some reason

They never got better, or more, coq than mine.

They just thought there was better coq out there, then when they found out there wasn't, the kitchen was otherwise occupied.

The difference is the "healthy" oils everyone is using.

They have less cholesterol and fat...but that's where the taste was!

Go somewhere, (Mexico) where they still use lard..OMG!

Just got a Popeyes here in town, will have to check it out.

[ELEVEN]

The Popeyes in New Orleans are better for some reason. Probably because the locals wont put up with bland food.

New Orleans is all about food.

 

Could do a whole thread just on NO restaurants and the food there.

[JAHV76]

Yep lots of good places I saw Joe Montana at Dickie Brennan's while I was enjoying a steak during super bowl weekend.

[Homebrewer]

A bunch of us did a NO food party for the Superbowl a couple years back.. 

It was epic.

Everyone picked a recipe from a famous N.O. place, searched down all the authentic ingredients, and we cooked at a friends house in Lake Forest who has a chef's kitchen. 

[JAHV76]

I used to have the southeast as a sales territory and once a quarter I would stay near the French quarter and enjoy the jambalaya, red beans and rice, gumbo and beignets to name a few of some of the great food available. Also hit up Pat O'Brien's for a Hurricane and grab a po boy at Acme. Good times for sure in Nawlings.

I think it's hilarious that guys in here are actually saying Popeyes is good.

I definitely recommend the spicey, and on Tuesdays they have a leg and thigh thing for like $1.50 or something. I enjoy the dark meat. However besides the fries and red beans and rice, I'm not really a fan of their sides like mashed potatoes or coleslaw.

yeah, kfc has the better sides, by far. But the chicken at popeyes beats it. Like you said, at least the legs and thighs

[ten ocho recon scout]

I can't imagine ever eating anything from Popeye's. I've seen it, but I don't even know what they make.

Anyhoo, I've lost 5 lbs over the past week just by not eating sugar or flour. I feel so much better, but it just isn't sustainable for me. I think I'm going to Five Guys tomorrow for lunch.

you think its a short term loss? Like even if you stayed on that plan, eventually it would come back?

Need to definitely clean up my eating, just hard at work

[CaliAngel]

Best diet I've used is Keto. I liked it because you can't eat sugar (which is carbs), which I love, but it's so terrible for you.

 

Low carbs, moderate protein, liberal fat. Basically for an example my typical day was I'd only eat carbs in the morning with breakfast (some toast with my eggs and bacon), eat a lettuce wrapped 3X2 with no onions for lunch, then eat a salad with ranch or italian dressing, a bacon wrapped chicken thigh stuffed with cheddar cheese, and asparagus on the side, for dinner. Veggies, meat, and salad. No soda. Get used to drinking water with everything.

 

Lost about 30 pounds in 6 months, and was lean as hell.

 

Once you stop eating carbs you realize how unnecessary they are, and how much they weigh you down. High fat and protein meals fill you up, but you don't get that food coma feeling after. I had so much more energy that I actually looked forward to going to the gym. The great thing about Keto is there's lots of delicious Keto friendly recipes out there, things you'd never think you could make are Keto friendly and help you lose that unhealthy body fat.

The diet is the hard part for me. Ill go on a kick for a month or so of eating clean, then strat for a few weeks. Still workout all the time, so i keep my size. But the definition os long gone and havent been a weight inwant to be in forever

[Stradling]

Completely disagree that Popeyes has worse sides. Their mashed potatoes and gravy are so much better than KFC.

We are setting a pretty low MP & G standard here.

[arch stanton]

We keep a jar of these in the office. Salty,sweet, crunchy, convenient. Crack can't be half as addictive as these damn things.
