Raising Cane's vs. Popeyes Taste Test | FOOD FEUDS

let the battle of the chicken coops begin, let's talk about that Good Mythical Morning, there are very few reasons why I will wait in a line, but a fresh, juicy chicken tender is absolutely one of them and you can't go wrong with Kings chicken tender. of the world Popeyes and Raising Cane's yeah these two places require you to have a folding chair in your car because the lines are so long you want to be able to sit down oh yeah the

food

is worth it uh what we want to know. It's which place is more worth it and we're not going to make them do a skit or anything uh we're just going to try the right

food

and two things that I know for sure the sky is not going to fall today but one of these fast food places in chicken will fall from grace today it's time for the Raising Canes versus Popeyes food fusion, okay we're going to

taste

and rate similar foods from each restaurant, the winning restaurant will be nicknamed the chick magnet and will have the chance to sponsor a future Episode from GMM cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck hey, I'm Raising Cane.

The Raising Cane was born and breaded in Louisiana breaded and these are chicken strips for 199 a la carte and it comes with our signature Mr. sauce on the side for dipping, the mascot doesn't. even a chicken you're always trying to copy me get out of here chicken fight oh my god hey I'm able to Popeye and that's my brother I swear to God he's going to try to kill me oh my god oh my god we. let's go there yeah heavy handed we're making metaphors and these are our chicken strips it's 10 for 16.99 it comes with our famous blackened ranch blackened ranch for dipping wow so first thing is these They are smaller, yes, as if looking. these and look at these woods, I mean, look at what happened with that finger and then look, look, look at this, I mean, give me the biggest one that you have there, you have it, you have it very consistent in the sticks and they.

We are also very limited. I feel like today we're

test

ing Popeyes through the lens of Raising Cane. At first I'm not going to use sauce in terms of categories because I have more things in bye, your sauce is magical. I love it. a good Tinder, Tinder is actually cute, it better be good, it's the only thing they're good for basically, it's very solid and then you know what they have an interesting tie to the origin story because founder Todd Graves and business partner original Craig Silvey presented a business plan for a chicken finger restaurant while attending Louisiana State University LSU, yes the instructor said it will never work to push a product like that and gave the project the worst grade in the class, This is a failed project guys, let this be a lesson to you college students.

I don't know what it is Popeye's has that distinctive breaded flavor that was also founded in Louisiana by Al Copeland when he was 28, of course it was in 1972. There are many more of these in Raising Cane's 2000+ Popeyes currently around the world Al Copeland I love the Cajun spice underneath, man, in the breading they put the Cajun spice, yeah, you got that heat hitting, there's something about baton

raising

that's like this homey vibe, this is very much like a fast food enthusiast , so I. I'm definitely on team with steak sticks. I think they are both great chicken tenders, but I really appreciate this Cajun and since it is super juicy, they are both quite juicy, yes they put this into detail, I mean the size.

Of this, I couldn't have told you how much bigger it is. That doesn't affect me because you can always eat more strips, you know, that's true, that's true, I'm going to give you this chicken strip, you're ready for me to mark. I'm going to give it an eight brother, I'm going to get a solid seven seven here it's big, it's crunchy, the sauce is not as good in my opinion as that sauce, I have to go with the six though. I think there is a two point difference here. I think the Popeyes are a little better but not by much so I give them an eight wow yeah man I love it I love the breader it's magic.

Hello, these are Popeye's fries for 2.79. Oh yeah, and here are the best and most delicious Raising Cane fries for 272. Sorry about my brother, sometimes I just want to kill him. Oh, I've heard the story, yeah, wow, now they're cut wrinkled but they're thin, they're thin. I can't say I've tried that anywhere else, you usually get a crinkle cut the size of a stroller. Not a fan, now again, we won't eat them straight from the restaurant, they get here pretty quickly, but we'll take it. into account and that's the same for both but I don't know, I'm much better yes, these are horrible, I'm just discovering that I'm dipping it in that sauce that I love and now when they've taken that away from you, you're just left with a naked fry .

They're asking you to do all the work on these now here in Popeye land, which by the way, Popeyes, um, isn't named after the sailor, it's named after Gene. Hackman's character in The French Connection Doyle, who knew the movie, came out about a year before Al Copeland opened the first Popeye's restaurant um, these are clearly better, but they're not yet, they can get sloppy, not a tearjerker superior. I like the fact that it's not necessarily seasoned, you don't need to ask for a dip to drown it. In fact, it's getting better. I actually like these. I like the black pepper in these fries.

Excellent. Am. I am black pepper. In my fried man, no matter where I go, I always put black pepper in it. Would you put more black pepper in these? They have a lot of blackness, no, they have done it for me, okay, and that is making me pregnant at least a point, okay, these are not good fry. I don't want to beat myself up too much because you need to have freshly hatched fry, but I will say that I can't imagine they're any better than five. I'm not going to hold back, I'm giving them a three because and that's the best version of these because nothing is done to them, they rely too much on the sauce of your game rod and I'm going to go with a solid seven on these um, I'm just going to give it a six.

I agree that no, they won't be in the top five fast food fries, but they are still pretty good and now in the round we have them all. I've been waiting for the salad round. Oh yes, this is our delicious Cock-A-Doodle Coleslaw for 135. It's a secret recipe, but if I had to guess, it probably has Mayo in it. Yeah, yeah, okay, she's white, she's very white, she sure is, you know. What else has a secret recipe? Whatever he did with his mom and dad's worst DNA. You, it was a cluck with the scene, don't put us in the middle, okay, yeah, okay, so this is our coleslaw for 279 and the website says it's. a cool fresh Tangy treats the website you've been on the website yeah yeah she gets all her information from the website it's the only place they can go as employees on the internet you just walk into a restaurant of fast food and you get the salad Law and Justice no, um, but the fried chicken cole slaw is a good thing.

I mean, when KFC started well, not when they started, but because they did it, it is something that has to be done, um, this is a very common and ordinary right. with slaw in the middle, it gives you a nice break from all that frying. I don't think I've ever been excited about cole slaw. I like KFC. I'm actually not excited about this time because it looks very spicy, although it's not bad. I like the fact that everything looks like your mom could do it right. This one is flatter. This one is more like everyday slaw.

There's something interesting there, although they've decided to put a flavor on it, maybe a little mustard or something. I immediately like it more. This is better, you know, this is just so I don't know. I feel like the fact that it feels like something you get at the family reunion isn't great. I would say it is authentic and salty. I like both of them. I'm torn um, I give this a six. I don't eat it without still having some fried chicken in my mouth which can be fixed. I will give him. I'm going to give it a seven and then I'm going to deny. my contribution to this round by also giving this one a seven um I think they are the same they are different but they are the same I'm also going to give this one a seven because I gave this one a six and I think this one is a little better seven okay, okay well so far I just have more side by side type offers here, as you know this year we are doing something special, the mythical pin of the month and this month's pen is me as a human.

Get it Human Bean and I like beans and I actually modeled nude for this and yes you can get this on Mytical.com but it's only available for 24 hours so you have to go there and get it Mytical. com, yes, time is fleeting, get it out here as fast as I could. Okay, this is what everyone is waiting in line for. It's a fried chicken cutlet on a brioche bun with spicy mayonnaise and pickles for 4.99. The whole battle began. Yeah, they wait in line until the bathroom throws it up, that's what they say, oh, because this is our tender chicken on a bun with sauce and lettuce for 7.99.

You're going to like it a lot more so the way they make a sandwich is by putting strips on a sandwich and I've never ordered it this way. I have eaten this many times. They're okay, there's some sauce in there and make sure they take it. Let's take a closer look. Let's get rid of this. Open this thing, three tenders, what happened to them? They skimp on the sauce, it's not much sauce and then, well, there's more sauce on the bottom and there's a nice fresh little slice, a little bit of cabbage, it looks like the cabbage it's turned into. cabbage without pickles none that I can see without pickles without pickles but it has that sauce honey, okay, that good salt, if you like their strips better, I'll also light the sandwich up more.

I think you are the CR. I'm missing the crunchy thing, it's actually something I didn't even talk about in the stores. Popeye's breading is crunchier which I think is really good in a sandwich. It's great in the stores. But it's really good in a sandwich because you need something. to break up the consistency of the bread like, oh, I hit the chicken, you gotta know when you hit the chicken, you know what I'm saying, that thing about having tinder in a sandwich. Zaxby's used to make this and then with all the chicken sandwich wars they came out with a real chicken as a proper steak to replace it because you're eating one side oh and you're losing us you're losing it I hate to see it you're losing it tender I mean , that can fall to the ground that just made me want to eat this.

It doesn't feel like a chicken sandwich. It feels like you put Tenders on a bun and they never came together. Now we have pickles in this. We have spicy mayonnaise and you know the bun is good. I've had this bun before and you get that crispy chicken. Oh, this one is falling apart too. The crunchiness of that breading makes the difference. If I don't eat a tender, I don't want it with two others on a bun. I want to dip it and eat it. I feel like they just decided to try and compete with everyone else, but weren't willing to go all the way, so putting the steaks on a bun is a poor attempt at competition. with other chicken sandwiches, yeah, nowadays, he can't do it, he just gave it a five.

I agree, I give it a five. I just want the steaks alone here, this may not be your favorite chicken sandwich but there's no denying that this is one of the best as I'm tempted to give it a 10. I'm just going to back it up a bit to a strong nine and I'm going to give it a nine like well, I think a man just walked away, we're having a lot of fun doing this. We interrupt this episode of Good Mythical Morning to let you know that last weekend we released a video on the Red Link channel and we'd love for you to wash it.

I don't think Link knew he was going to say anything. We'd love for you to see it now. We're digging a hole, that's what we're doing. Well, they're digging a hole that's nothing, I guess. a whole really is something Battle of the Breads, let's get it here it's Raising Cane's Texas Toast for 135. that's nice, yeah, I'll stay here with that passive aggressive stuff you've been saying, it's not going to fly with me, do you think? you're the only one who can make puns huh okay these are Popeyes cookies for 89 cents each very cookie cutter let's go ahead and start there literally maybe maybe they'll use a cookie cutter well maybe a cookie cutter, this is nice though, we have a sweet spot for cookies, we do, but I love Texas toast and this is almost like a cake, you know what I'm saying, like I have a cake batter , this is the superior bread for a tender chicken, this is a strong statement once you eat it, I know you can eat it with steak and stuff.

I think let me put it this way, it's the best thing to go with Texas toast, tender, juicy chicken because it's long, you can put it on top, it's just you know what you should have done with this sandwich, yeah, one tender, two of these ones, you can do it on your own, even though it's like a little sandwich, they're scary because they just don't do well, they're small, I mean, it's so there's something uniform that makes it feel like it's not very flaky, they're more powdery, like the

taste

of a microwave cookie, it doesn't taste bad, but cookies can be much better than this, you know what I am? to say cookies can be so good, yes this is a bad cookie and yes I'm going to compare it to Bojangles, it sucks compared to Bojangles. it's not as good as Bojangles, it's a cookie,okay, I can order a light cookie at Bojangles and I'll buy one, they're all the same.

I think the bread round has had a solid performance in

raising

reeds, this is not a good bread. eight solid eight I agree you know what the fuck nine this is what they've done they've done the best right there that's the best they've done the best you've done Raising Cane's is your bread um I'm I'm not going to go down to a three. I'm going to say true man. I don't want the bread round to be too decisive. I'm going to say it's a five. I'm disappointed that it doesn't taste horrible. but I have to give it a four, I have to give it a four, where does that leave us?

It leaves me eating more of this chicken sandwich. I need to accompany all this chicken with something. Okay, time to finish things off with the Popeyes sweet tea for 2 49. I'm also thinking about finishing things off with the Raising Cane sweet tea for 249. Yeah, you want to finish things up, yeah, it's time, okay, right? Who could have seen this fight coming? No, friend, oh cruel fate, enjoy, oh, he said no, we did it. Don't choreograph this, let's say crack, cruel face, yes, crack, because you're winning, he broke his neck. Do you know who has a better logo?

Popeyes Raising Kings Raising Cane's has a good logo, which is actually one of the things they have in mind. he looks that a tea a tea is quite good quite sweet quite nice it is quite sweet it is leafy you can taste the leaves it is a really solid tea and then over here quite sweet also very sweet both are equally good there is more flavor It's just that I I like the flavor more, it's more of a tea flavor, yes, but I don't think that's why I drink it too, it tastes more like the leaves.

I don't drink tea to taste tea. I drink tea. Sugar is needed now that I'm back. here it just tastes like water because this is wow, that's what happened, right? I like this tea until I drank that tea and now this tea tastes like water. I'm glad I tried this tea first or we'd be saying this tastes like water too, it stinks, but now we thought this tea tasted great until I tried it, so what are we going to do with that Louisiana tea? If you keep drinking it, Popeyes gets better and better. It really makes two kids drink. tea this tea is not great now in this sixth season.

I mean, it's not bad because if I just drank it I'd think it was great. I know I thought it was going to be a seven if I went. I think I'll go all out. the way to five yeah, I'm going, I'm going to go with six, I'm going with six and as Carolina boys, we've had a lot of sweet tea, uh, sweet tea is better than this and you know who makes it better. bojang Bojangles makes the best sweet tea if you're seriously going down south yeah and you want to know what he sweet tea is supposed to taste like just buy Bojangles sweet tea but this is a good seven.

I agree, I'll give it to you. it's a seven, so if we look at the overall totals, we have rods up at 75 and Popeyes blowing away at 82 and we have to keep in mind that we actually judge Popeyes on Raising Cane terms. Popeyes has a lot of other things that I got the bone-in chicken right, we didn't even try shrimp, they had shrimp, we're just trying things that compare to the stuff at Raising Cane's right, and they brought it home, my last ticket home, sorry, Kane, so congratulations to Bojangles, yes, even. although you were not relevant to this conversation, today you are the real winner, in our minds you are the real winner, okay Popeyes, you win the chance to sponsor an episode of GMM and you are the official chick magnet.
