That sounds good to me. As a fried chicken connoisseur I think Dixie Chicken is some of the best in Louisville, but having lived in New Orleans for many years Popeye's is right up there. Nothing better than sitting along St. Charles Avenue at 6 a.m. on Mardi Gras, drinking beer, eating fried chicken and waiting for the parades. The Popeyes on Preston serves a 3-thigh special for $4.99; I could eat that every day.
We occasionally stop in at the KFC in Fern Creek for their Nashville Hot or Georgia Gold, but it's rare that there isn't some kind of major hassle. Usually it's something along the line of "there's a 20-minute wait for extra crispy," but not long ago I pulled up to the drive-thru speaker to see a hand-written sign that said "closed for lack of staff." I was going to pull off but saw people in the dining room so I walked in. Turns out they were open but short-staffed, and put the sign up to keep from getting overwhelmed.
