Now Popeye's, I'll gladly go to every once in a while with the understanding that I'll likely need to take a nap after. Their biscuits are a meal in itself, probably containing 4-6 sticks of butter, but damned if it isn't delicious.
I like Popeye's just fine, but Church's Chicken! Now that's some tasty stuff. :-) I am five minutes from either Popeye's or Chick-fil-a, but the nearest Church's is hours away.
It's almost.. almost, like people have different taste and texture preferences.
To be fair, many people hate Chipotle because it's "not real Mexican food" but love Taco Bell, and probably just as many enjoy food from either place just because it's a certain kind of food. Not everybody is going for something that's a 100% perfect fit to what it's marketed as.
As mentioned, not everybody finds that food bland.
