This Popeyes chicken sandwich is serious business. People are robbing business and killing each other over this sandwich. According to our news partner, Fox 44 and NBC Local 33, a man in Maryland fatally stabbed another customer outside of the restaurant in a fight over the recently released sandwich. Then, this morning at the Popeyes on Government Street in Baton Rouge, a robber targeted that restaurant around 9:15 a.m. The suspect escaped the area.
I wanted to try this sandwich so, I sent my husband this morning to the Government Street Popeyes to wait in line early before doors opened. He then calls me to tell me he had to get out of line because a robber tried breaking into the Popeyes. I thought he was joking about the robber, but he was serious.
