In some ways, Popeye’s have truly made the Chicken Sandwich the go to meal that has every local food establishment take notice. Prior to the Louisiana–based restaurant landing back to the Philippines it is just about beef burgers and majority of rice meal consuming population. The interest for chicken sandwich has been at all-time high. Of course, a healthy competition brings on the winner, and it’s not Popeye’s but the local consumers that have given new choices and things to try out from the conventional Filipino taste.
