Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen is a popular fast-food chain that specializes in fried chicken and other seafood and meat dishes with a focus on New Orleans-style flavors.

Founded by Al Copeland in 1972, Popeyes was created as a Cajun-themed alternative to traditional fast food chains. The brand's name is derived from Chief Popeye Doyle, a fictional character from the 1971 film "The French Connection."

Popeyes' menu offers a range of items including fried chicken, seafood platters, red beans and rice bowls, biscuits, and sides such as coleslaw and hushpuppies. The brand is known for its spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich, which has become one of the most popular items on their menu.

In recent years, Popeyes has gained a significant following among fast-food enthusiasts due in part to the introduction of innovative items like the chicken sandwich, which sparked a nationwide trend among competitors to create similar products.
