=====================
Popeye's is still going strong in a number of states scattered all over the US. They are also found in the UK and Germany. One of my cousins in New Orleans throws a Popeyes and Champagne Party during Mardi Gras for an "After the Ball is Over" very late party in which the menu consists very simply of buckets of Popeyes and a small ocean of Veuve Cliquot. There is something about a large group of people in ball gowns and white tie and tails standing around gnawing on Popeyes and guzzeling the fizz. Ah, New Orleans!
Now, as to fast food in general, it seems to me that the only time one should choose a fast food joint would be when you are on an Interstate Highway, you have been driving for what seems like forever, and you see a sign announcing "last exit for 175 miles" and there are notices for gas and fast food at that exit.
