Popeyes

Thanks to Phantom Gourmet’s annual fast food episode, we have learned that there is a Popeyes near us.  Well, at least near the office, and near our old place.  It’s in Brockton, in the Westgate Mall, by one of the entrances nearest Old Navy.

Mmmm… Popeyes.

There used to be one in Fitchburg, right off of route 2.  A friend who lunched there regularly whenever he went to the registry of deeds in Fitchburg introduced me to them, and subsequently I stopped a few times on my way between eastern and western Massachusetts.  Last time I was in Fitchburg, a few years ago, for a lunch meeting with the makers of TurboLaw software at Slattery’s Restaurant, highly recommended, I happened to drive that way back to route 2 and saw Popeye’s had closed.  How sad.  Even though I was unlikely to get a chance to go there again, and it was too far to make a point of it.

There are also three in Rhode Island, all owned by the same franchisee as the Brockton store, called Deliver Me Chicken.

Now what we need is a Jack In The Box almost 827 miles closer to us than the nearest one, in Statesville, NC.

At least there’s an Arby’s only a few towns away, in the Emerald Square Mall.

1. you can’t spit wihtout hitting an Arby’s around here.  And there a Popeye’s in a large number of the truckstop type places.
   Now forget those places what you really need around there is a Chipotle..  Moe’s is good but its not Chipotle. There is another Chipotle like place but its not as good either. 
   Its weird that a place owned by McDonalds is about the best quality and good for you food of any fast food place.  Oh you need Chic-fil-A around there too.. yum..

3. I had no idea there were ANY Jack-in-the-Boxes east of the Rockies.

   One “advantage” of growing up in Fresno was we were the test market for a lot of fast-food concoctions. I remember it was considered a big deal when we got McDonald’s pizza. That didn’t last long.

4. There used to be an Arby’s on Main St in Waltham.  Now it’s a Wendy’s.
