You start out frustrated because they can't sell you the Cajun gravy on its lonesome, so you go ahead and order the tates just for the gravy. But you aren't too frustrated, because you're the one who gets to dip your chicken tenders in the gravy. The employees have to keep dealing with annoying people with strange requests -- like you.

You're also pretty sure they used to be able to sell the Cajun gravy by itself, too, but whatever. 2021.

You cover your chicken tenders in potatoes because you're trying to get the most Cajun gravy per bite that you conceivably can. It's good. Damn good. And then it comes to you. The chicken's pretty good dipped in tates even without the gravy. The satisfying crunch blends perfectly with the smooth and creamy tate.

Before you know it, you've dipped your Cajun fries in the tates. You've dipped your biscuit in the tates. You never needed a spoon for your tates. Because the rest of your food acted as an adhesive. Your Sweet Heat dipping sauce is left unopened. Your Blackened Ranch will remain confined 'neath its plastic wrapping.

You don't need what Popeyes thinks you want. You need the tates.

Fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy is one of the simplest and most underrated meals.

Popeyes has just about my favorite everything. I love the BBQ sauce which I don't hear a lot love for but it's the right amount of tang for me.

When I was a kid, I would dip those biscuits from red lobster into the apple sauce side.

That's all I needed in life

People have issues getting extra gravy? I usually just ask for a side of it and have never been given issues getting it

Their Cajun gravy is like the only thing there that is disappointing to me. You could just give me about any other gravy ever and I'd dip.

Of course, I don't get tenders though, since I'm an adult with class.

I love both KFC and Popeyes. Just yesterday I tried the KFC chicken sandwhich and their fries for the first time. I didn't care for the chicken sandwhich sadly, but I loved their fries!
Tomorrow I'm going to have some Popeyes chicken tenders, biscuits, and trying their new beignets.

Oh yeah, I should mention I've never had gravy in my life. Not even once. Always looked weird to me. But this thread has convinced me to try it tomorrow!

But, did you not have to accept what Popeyes thinks you want? Therein doing exactly what they expected, and therefore they've won, but in the best way because they've convinced you that tendies in taters/gravy is actually awesome?

I do this and I love it. It's the only way I eat them. And if I have fries, I'll dip them too. Even the sandwich...fuck around

Yes, fried chicken goes well with mashed potatoes. What a discovery.

Sorry, I'm old and sarcastic and it's been a shit day.

What really sucks is that the Austin area (maybe all of Texas?) actually used to have cream gravy, and it was sooooo good. They got rid of it maybe 4 years ago when everything went more corporate.

Open a biscuit, put a tender in the biscuit, pour gravy on the tender and biscuit, enjoy.

I note that Bojangles will happily sell you a side of gravy. They'll include it as a side with your combo. They'll sell you a large side of the gravy and you can just go hog wild dunking anything and everything into it. Bojangles is a loving, giving place, a place of magic.

I never tried the chicken dipped in the potatoes and gravy but I always did with the biscuits. Shit is primo.

Also is Era on a Popeyes kick or something? This is like... the third or fourth thread I've seen mentioning it in the last couple of weeks.

not that I'm complaining
