Motivated by the new rotisserie and fried chicken takeout spot from Alison Vines-Rushing and Slade Rushing (formerly
of Jack's Luxury Oyster Bar) called Dirty Bird To Go, the Village Voice did a blind taste test to see if Dirty Bird's
claims of "an exciting alternative to conventional fast food to satisfy families and foodies alike" were
accurate. Dirty Bird went up against the real dirty birds, KFC and Popeye's.
Dirty Bird won for surviving travel, maintaining its crunch, and having the moistest, best tasting meat. However, taste-testers were disappointed with seasonings.
KFC was found to be the greasiest and least crispy of the three. Popeye's was reported as "trashy, delicious chicken. The flesh is shiny with fat, the fried shell puffy and golden brown." One of the taste-testers hypothesized that perhaps there was some sort of addictive chemical added to the chicken.
Who cares about the chicken? I could eat a dozen of Popeye's buttermilk biscuits, which I am quite certain they deep fry right alongside their chicken.

But after working in a Popeye's during my teenage years, I can reccomend this excellent "food hack" for your next trip there. Just find the nicest employee there, and ask them if they would pretty please brush the top of your bisquit with the butter used for the corn, and then dip it into the cinnamon-sugar kept for the apple pies. Ask for a couple of packets of honey to go with it, cut your bisquit in half, and smear a little on each half.
Pure bliss.
