Kind of a niche thing I know but why are our fast food places the absolute worst? Like we’re where Popeye’s is from but it’s more consistent almost anywhere else in the U.S. and the world at large.
So it’s New Orleans. I get it. So many better places to eat than McDonald’s. But as a poor student sometimes a basically next to nothing meal at a drive-thru is what I need.
I swear to god I’ve always been weirdly proud of Popeye’s because it’s so cool to have a cultural export like that from our city. I feel myself get kind of hyped when I see one in Lima, Peru or wherever cause holy shit how cool is it that there’s an entire fast casual place based off of New Orleans? “Louisiana Fast” is printed on the paper when I’ve been to the Philippines. That’s so cool. I’m prideful.
That being said you know where Popeye’s is better? Like almost fucking anywhere else. Like Lima. Manila. Boston. Seattle. Fucking Des Moines, man 🤣
Like does anyone else order fast food here off an app and half the time half the food is missing? Why specifically New Orleans? I know we HATE efficiency here but they all suck. Sorry just kind of a rant today but I’m so sick of fucking everything being slightly lower quality in an everyday sense. I love our culture and am so proud to be from here but you know where you don’t wait for the bus for over 45 minutes after it was meant to show up? Anywhere else in the developed world. Again I LOVE being from here. But so many little things I have to deal with as an average, working person in terms of convenience are so fucking frustrating when they add up. Yeah I love I can get a drink at Ms. Mae’s at anytime. I also am tired of our roads destroying my fucking car because I’m 28 and it’s pathetic having to call my parents and ask for help because a pothole just … opened up. Feeling frustrated today after a hard week. Rant done.
