That chicken sandwich has a history of its own. When it first came out there was chaos with people trying to get one. Very long lines and fights. I never seen anything like it.
Its because a worker was selling %rugs in addition to cluck, had nothing to do with the food. “I’ll have a breast, a thigh and an -8 ball- I MEAN… a large ‘coke’.” 😮 😂
I was about to say that. They ate more rice than beans it looked like. But I can’t blame them, mixing things with rice isn’t a typical thing anywhere else but in southern states of the US. It wasn’t until more recently that mixing things with rice even made it up out of the South.
The dad is such a gentleman and the way he kindly corrects his son for grabbing for the pie and gives the ladies their pieces first. Mom and Dad are clearly fantastic and loving parents. You can see the results in the two spontaneous but well mannered children.
My four year old woke up not feeling well and wanted to watch 'the new Zealand family'. I said to him 'oh you like the kids right?' (because he's watched them eating wal mart snacks like three times already) and he said 'No, I love all of them." So please feel loved, as you are.
If you want your homemade biscuits to taste more like Popeyes biscuits switch out whatever liquid you use whether it's milk buttermilk or water for sprite or 7 up and switch out the lard or butter or whatever you use as a fat with sour cream
As a Louisiana native I'm a little sad you didnt like the red beans 😢 lol you're supposed to stir the rice into the beans btw. So happy you guys enjoyed a taste of Louisiana. Raising Cane's and Popeyes both originated in Louisiana and we are so glad you enjoyed them both! Safe travels 😊
I wrote this comment before yall made your comments about the sides. 😂 The biscuits, red beans ( you are supposed to mix it with the rice) It is the BOMB! They used to make the most amazing onion rings. They are my favorite sides. “,Love that Chicken From Popeyes.” I am from Louisiana. I actually had it in Vietnam and I was so thrilled. we are living in Southeast Asia right now.
The red beans and rice are actually the only thing I think is worth going to Popeye's for. Their other food isn't *bad* but it's nothing special and a little overpriced (though that's basically all fast food these days so nothing against them specifically). But a bowl of red beans and rice with a packet of Cajun Sparkle mixed in is the best.
By the time they get into the apple pie, Sam's facial responses start registering as "This is so good that I'm starting to get angry that I can't have this whenever I want..." Epic.
They will be back in no time for the food. I have friends from Iceland that came down to visit and they came back the same year just for the food and to travel of course.
Just a tip here on how to drink items like sweet tea. The point is not to sip it up all at once. In the southern heat, the ice will melt. So instead of your drink being watered down, you will retain the flavor of the drink. As for the Red beans and rice, you have to mix the rice with the beans before eating. Enjoyed the video. 😊
Dad: "This chicken just needs to shut up!" 😂😂😂😂 I love your family and Love love LOVE the accent! Great Review! Not every Popeyes has it but I go for their jumbo fried shrimp hands down!
I should have waited to watch this until I could pick up some Popeyes to eat while watching this because now I am seriously craving some Popeyes! Glad yall enjoyed it!
I ordered some Popeyes from Grubhub something I rarely do, but I just can't control myself after watching this!! I don't really like or eat chicken all that much, but Popeyes is SO good! The sauces! The sides! The biscuits! mmmMMMmm!
It's funny but until watching a video like this or even the videos where you try the snacks sent to you, I never realized just how much I take all of the choices that we have for granted over here. Also as much as we love seeing the entire family I must say it was really cool watching Atlanta and Denzie take charge in the last video.
Whenever we had people from other countries at work, it was fun to take them to the grocery store, specifically the cereal aisle! And Cheesecake Factory
This is my new favorite family. They are honest, sweet, genuine, and funny! Great job guys! My wife and I both get a ton of amusement in such a positive way watching you all the way from Pittsburgh!
Good grief, watching them eat and enjoy the food makes me so hungry! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone enjoy our fast food places as much as these guys! 🤣❤️
I used to make Popeyes biscuits and they got mad at me for rolling them out a little thicker than normal so they'd be soft. My biscuits flew off the warmer while the other biscuits in there just got jealous. They make you roll them out between two metal bars attached to the table and they not sposed to be any thicker than the bar.
I would agree, they are like hockey pucks. However considering they are comparing them to scones (which they are more familiar with) yes, they are fluffy, in that comparison. Scones are closer to concrete hardness.
@@killerv135You obviously don’t know what you are talking about. Maybe you should search where the name cones from. Some people just want to be “offended”.
The things we take for granted!! I love these reviews because they are new, fresh and innocent and they enjoyment you all get is amazingly satisfying. I eat Popeyes so much I never appreciate how great it is
Watching Sam eat the sandwich was so much fun , like a kid at Christmas , his excitement was fantastic. Hearing you all call them burgers was weird though , we just call them sandwiches.
Al Copeland, the founder of Popeyes, had originally opened a restaurant called Chicken on the Run to very little success in 1972. He closed down to rework his recipes and reopened only three days later as Popeyes Mighty Good Fried Chicken, taking the name of Gene Hackman’s character in the film “The French Connection,” which was released only the year before. In the movie, Hackman played Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle, a New York City cop obsessed with taking down a drug operation. It won five Oscars at the 44th Academy Awards. And it had nothing to do with fried chicken.
this is false. As a youngster in New Orleans, Mr. Copeland loved Popeye the Sailor. He watched the cartoons each morning in his Aunt's restaurant before the school bus came. The aunt's restaurant was the original Ruth Chris. Google it
Sam is going straight feral eating popeyes lol. Glad you guys enjoyed, this is definitely one of the more popular fast food places in the States, especially in the South.
As a native Louisianan and native viewer of the channel, lol, seeing y’all eat our famous chicken and another one of the endless reasons why Deep South food like ours rules makes us down here insanely happy! P.S. In my opinion, honey mustard combined with the tenders and biscuits are the best thing about Popeyes!
I couldn't tell if they got the spicy or regular on the bone chicken. It looked like it wasn't the spicy and, in my book, the main reason you go to popeye's is for the spicy fried chicken. One other thing is that, where I live (Dallas, Tx), they have discontinued their cajun rice and it was my favorite side. Has it been discontinued at all the locations?
I lived five years in the south and If I were a native Louisianan, I wouldn't hang my hat on Popeye's chicken as representing the home of fine chicken. There's much better locally. Just as KFC being associated with Louisville, where I had the most disgusting chicken meal. I now live in the NW and avoid both chains.
I love watching your family interacting with happiness, respect, and kindness to one another. Your children are learning such valuable lessons from your behavior, as well as from all your adventures. xoxo from Oregon USA.
@@kapitt5276 They need better manners? These two kids are more well behaved than pretty much most kids I know and have seen in public 🤷🏻♀... Kids these days are monsters and it makes these two look like saints.
Haha, these videos make me realize how spoiled for choice we are here in the U.S. Fun fact: the Popeyes chicken sandwich is relatively new, and when they were launched, people were waiting in lines for HOURS to get them with many restaurants running out of them, which caused fist fights and chaos for a time. This sandwich was so successful that all fast food chains began offering their own knockoffs, none of which can remotely compare. Congrats, guys! You just ate the best fast food chicken sandwich in America!! Love you NZ fam!
@@cryptofreedom772 Nope I'm a Popeyes convert. Ever since Popeyes introduced their chicken sandwich, I haven't been back to Chick fila. I would say though, imagine Chick fila waffle fries with Popeyes coating🥰😍🤩
Hello New Zealand family My name is Timothy Lee,I'm an old 72 Year old US Army veteran US Military police Corp. Only watched your site on TH-cam a couple of times and it's already one of my favorites. I love the way u all are so adventurous and willing to go anywhere and try anything to eat in the USA and believe me that takes a bit of courage, I know. U remind me of me after I got back home after servicing over seas in the early 70s. The US wasn't to friendly to all us serving in a certain country way back then so instead of staying home I traveled to Europe and ended up staying for over 10 years. I traveled all of Europe, Asia, Africa and loved it all. I was like y and ur family, I couldn't get enough of all the beautiful things I had seen,the beautiful people and all the great food I had tried. To cut it short keep the adventurous side of ur family going,to me u all are KICKASS awesome,i love ur beautiful family. P.S. if u really like to try a great dessert try strawberries washed and green cut off , dip first in sour cream,then finally dip in brown sugar. I believe u will love it. Bye for now take care and God bless
I was soo happy when Popeye's finally came to Canada. The first few weeks the stores opened they constantly had giant line ups. Best fast food fried chicken by a mile!
@@btnhstillfire Who is better in your opinion? For me, KFC is disgusting and Mary Browns is bland. Jolibee is delicious but they have basically zero locations so I don't really include them
I enjoyed this video. Your reactions were priceless! I’d love for you to go to a real soul food restaurant and get REAL Southern Biscuits as well as Southern Fried Chicken. Enjoyed you guys!
When I managed a McDonald's in the 80s, i used to put the fried apple pie in a small cup and top with soft serve. Warm pie and cold ice cream. So good.
To explain: A burger typically consists of beef. Although they can include different meats (such as an Alaskan salmon burger), anything other than beef is generally called a sandwich.
@@andreamaresh6958Webster and Oxford dictionaries define a burger as any meat or vegetable that is ground up and shaped into a patty. A chicken breast or chicken fillet on a bun is not a burger !!!!!!!!
@@cadifan Just 'cause it's a cultural misuse of the word, doesn't make it right. Being that burgers were invented in the US, and a burger is exclusively one or more ground beef patties on a bun, with or without toppings. Everything else, between buns, is a sandwich. Only ground beef is a burger. Not ground beef, it is a sandwich, even if it has sliced steak, or roast beef.
Would love to see you rent an RV and travel the US from west to east on the northern route and then back again on the southern route! Side trips to the heartland. That would be epic!
Would love to see northern route with our yummy foods. We have unique foods, different from south. New York bagels, NY pizza, etc. And how about north eastern seafood in Cape Cod and all east coast. Crab cakes and lobster rolls are 🎉the best!
@@Peggi109 YES! On the NY pizza. Born and raised in Westchester County but moved to CT. in '88. NOBODY here knows how to make pizza. I'd travel back to Port Chester (about 30 miles away) just to get pizza.
Out of all the chicken joints we have in america, popeyes would have to be my favorite out of all of them. Theres really something about the chicken they do that makes them so well done and tasty. Now i want popeyes.
It's ashame some families in each state they visited, couldn't show them around.Im happy they are enjoying our beautiful Country ❤️ safe travels friends ❤️
You have to watch though, some places will give you honey sauce, which has honey added to high fructose corn syrup. KFC did that and it was horrible tasting.
The way you tore into that food was hilarious! Sam, you were like a wild man who just got rescued from the woods! Lol! Can't wait to see you try the other places!
This family is awesome. Hope you enjoyed your time in the states. Your videos make me realize I often take for granted all of the great things America has to offer.
@@yungbake2161The irony you're telling someone to "get a life" while you're spending yours going through posting negative remarks on people's comments.
If you do another tour in the south; try Bojangles. They have fried chicken and a blueberry biscuit. I think you should try their sweet tea. It's soo good.
I didn't see you guys try it, but dipping a spicy tender in the mashed potatoes and cajun gravy is the most satisfying taste you can get at Popeyes! You have to try it next time. I actually scoop the potatoes with the tender to get a lot on there!
I really enjoyed the dynamic of your relationship between your kids, your wife, your husband & how all of you spoke to each other respectfully. A lot of families seem to have personality clashes & misbehaved bratty children but your kids were a breath of fresh air. Very well mannered & very well behaved. Even some husbands & wives don't know how to talk to each other properly or respectfully. No one seemed to be talking AT each other or OVER each other & no one seemed to be irritated, annoyed or disappointed with each other either. You guys actually listen to each other & respond to each other with a sense of urgency & eagerness. I mean, I do understand that it IS TH-cam after all & you guys have control over editing & maybe some things were edited out (maybe) but everything seemed to be good smoothly during the entire vid. I realize I'm sure your kids have "off days" where they might behave better than other days in the privacy of your home & @ school but in this particular video, it was impressive. You may or may not be a "perfect" family but you guys seem to be a reasonable, personable & respectful family. Which is truly a relief & a breath of fresh air. You guys Rock! 🎸 I enjoyed the actual review of the Food as well & each & every one of your comments & opinions. Great family you guys have, great content & great review! Peace & Blessings.
Popeyes is actually the hardest, toughest biscuits. Rofl!!!!!! If you liked them this much… I can’t WAIT, until you get to try REAL, fluffy, multi-layered, homemade, buttered biscuits! Y’all… my sweet New Zealand family… it only gets better! 😉😋 So happy y’all finally got to travel to the USA, and have all these experiences. Love y’all!
Watching Sam's reactions to each new flavor is hilarious. He, like me, loves Popeye's. I believe that the name came from the founder, who's nickname was Popeye, after the cartoon character, but not the cartoon sailor himself.😂
Popeye’s chicken sandwich is THE chicken sandwich. It never disappoints. And unlike that other chicken place with three letters, Popeye’s still has honey 🍯 for their biscuits!
I'm a country girl and grew up eating honey with our biscuits. I haven't had that in ages sadly! Who else remembers when the only sauce you got with chicken tenders was honey? Or maybe bbq. Or did I just eat at Ryans too much as a kid 😂
@@anndeecosita3586 that's how my parents ate them with cane syrup but my mom got so tired of it - that's what she had to take to school for lunch and her dad would take them to work
I would love to cook for your family. The sounds, faces & expressions you all make would be my reward. :) I love your videos. Hope Atlanta got some rest she looked a little travel sick 😫 Blessings to you all from Oregon.
I have never seen anyone react to Popeyes this way and I am cracking up 🤣 from the first bite, yall were hooked and couldn’t stop eating 😭 but I love it! I’m just so used to having Popeyes around that I never wondered how people would react that don’t. I truly enjoyed this content, thanks for sharing 🤗
The only thing disappointing about the red beans & rice at Popeye's is they don't have enough rice in it. It's definitely still my go-to side at Popeyes, though!
I’m a fan of getting just a side of gravy and using it as a dip for the chicken tenders and the biscuit! It’s a must! Also honey is great with the tenders and the biscuit! Love your channel and your amazing family! Watching from Tampa, FL!
I love y'all.. I love watching y'all's videos.. I grew up eating some of these places my whole life and I realize I take some things for granted.. welcome to America and keep making these videos.. I love them and I love the way y'all talk 👍🫶
you are all great and I hope you enjoy each of our American staples as much as we do. we have nothing but heartfelt love for our Kiwi, Aussie, and UK fam
I live in Georgia. It honestly brings me so much joy watching your lovely family try American food! We have some pretty tasty stuff over here, especially in the South lol
Love watching the pure joy on Sam's face when he was eating. We do have a great variety eateries in the US, but if you lived here you would probably get tired of dining out.
That chicken sandwich has a history of its own. When it first came out there was chaos with people trying to get one. Very long lines and fights. I never seen anything like it.
I still crave that chicken sandwich all the time, its just so good.
I think someone got murdered for cutting in line a few years ago.@@stevensanderson2817
Didn’t somebody get stabbed over the sandwich or something?
There was actually a shooting over it near Washington D.C.
Its because a worker was selling %rugs in addition to cluck, had nothing to do with the food.
“I’ll have a breast, a thigh and an -8 ball- I MEAN… a large ‘coke’.” 😮 😂
The Red Beans and Rice need to be stirred together because they're put in the tub separately. It makes a world of difference in the taste.
I love the rice and bean
Red beans and rice is a turn off
I was about to say that. They ate more rice than beans it looked like. But I can’t blame them, mixing things with rice isn’t a typical thing anywhere else but in southern states of the US. It wasn’t until more recently that mixing things with rice even made it up out of the South.
They don't have the jambalaya anymore.

That was the best Popeyes chicken commercial I've ever seen.😊
If you want your homemade biscuits to taste more like Popeyes biscuits switch out whatever liquid you use whether it's milk buttermilk or water for sprite or 7 up and switch out the lard or butter or whatever you use as a fat with sour cream
Right??????😊
I know right?! They even made want to get some, but then I remember that there are much better options lol
As a Louisiana native I'm a little sad you didnt like the red beans 😢 lol you're supposed to stir the rice into the beans btw. So happy you guys enjoyed a taste of Louisiana. Raising Cane's and Popeyes both originated in Louisiana and we are so glad you enjoyed them both! Safe travels 😊

They will be back in no time for the food. I have friends from Iceland that came down to visit and they came back the same year just for the food and to travel of course.
Yes, Sam looked like he was definitely in ecstasy lol.
I saw it totally different. Sam was angry. Probably at his wits end by then. Long trip, lots of unhealthy food.
And that's how we as a country got so fat. It's so good
Popeye's is site surveying NZ as of March 2023. They're hiring anyway for that particular market anyway.
Just a tip here on how to drink items like sweet tea. The point is not to sip it up all at once. In the southern heat, the ice will melt. So instead of your drink being watered down, you will retain the flavor of the drink. As for the Red beans and rice, you have to mix the rice with the beans before eating. Enjoyed the video. 😊
Well, we southerners do like a lil tea with our sugar. 😂
bingo. When you first get Popeye's sweet tea, your spoon can almost stand up in it. It gets palatable as the ice melts.

I enjoyed this video. Your reactions were priceless! I’d love for you to go to a real soul food restaurant and get REAL Southern Biscuits as well as Southern Fried Chicken. Enjoyed you guys!
When I managed a McDonald's in the 80s, i used to put the fried apple pie in a small cup and top with soft serve. Warm pie and cold ice cream. So good.
That's back when they had the good fries.
@@leifcatt the best fries 🍟 that were fried in beef tallow.
@@tony_25or6to4 They were so good.
@@tony_25or6to4 I cook fries in bacon grease. Oh boy.
The way they share everything is heartwarming.👍 I love this family!🥰🥰🥰🥰
For those who didn’t grow up with a family like this, thank you for sharing this. I loved your videos so far
To hear you guys constantly calling the chicken sandwich a burger is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
To explain: A burger typically consists of beef. Although they can include different meats (such as an Alaskan salmon burger), anything other than beef is generally called a sandwich.
@@andreamaresh6958Webster and Oxford dictionaries define a burger as any meat or vegetable that is ground up and shaped into a patty. A chicken breast or chicken fillet on a bun is not a burger !!!!!!!!
@@cadifan, the same in Texas.
It’s amazing the way we speak the same language but use it differently
@@cadifan Just 'cause it's a cultural misuse of the word, doesn't make it right. Being that burgers were invented in the US, and a burger is exclusively one or more ground beef patties on a bun, with or without toppings. Everything else, between buns, is a sandwich. Only ground beef is a burger. Not ground beef, it is a sandwich, even if it has sliced steak, or roast beef.
I think the spicy fried chicken is better than original, but that’s just my preference.
Same here, and then I dip it in their Bold BBQ sauce...perfection!
Agreed
The breading on the spicy is much better but I prefer the mayo to their "spicy" sauce
Spicy for the win! The fried chicken itself is so good (especially when fresh from the fryer) it needs no sauce whatsoever!
spicy is always better in any situation
"I like biscuits." Me too, girl. Me too!!! And my favorite go-to at Popeyes are spicy tenders with sweet heat sauce and some dirty rice.
The Dirty Rice is HEAVENLY!!!
Would love to see you rent an RV and travel the US from west to east on the northern route and then back again on the southern route! Side trips to the heartland. That would be epic!
Would love to see northern route with our yummy foods. We have unique foods, different from south. New York bagels, NY pizza, etc. And how about north eastern seafood in Cape Cod and all east coast. Crab cakes and lobster rolls are 🎉the best!
@@Peggi109 YES! On the NY pizza. Born and raised in Westchester County but moved to CT. in '88. NOBODY here knows how to make pizza. I'd travel back to Port Chester (about 30 miles away) just to get pizza.
Kind of the reverse of what Keep Your Daydream did a little over a year ago.
Maryland crab cakes, Philly cheesesteaks, New York pizza, New England lobster rolls, etc.
Just don't do it late spring to early summer of 2024 because the 17-year cicadas will be out all over the Midwest and South.
Watching y’all react to American food is so fun to watch!
If they lived here, they would all be FAT!!! Hahaha!!!😂😂😂
It's really just Black American soul food.
What a lovely family. So positive and willing to try everything.
Out of all the chicken joints we have in america, popeyes would have to be my favorite out of all of them. Theres really something about the chicken they do that makes them so well done and tasty. Now i want popeyes.
It WAS my favorite until I tried Jollibee’s for spicy chicken and Dave’s Hot Chicken for the sandwich. Now Popeyes is a backup.
@@afcgeo882you’ve got to try Popeyes in Louisiana. It’s totally different there.
@@Coonazz791 I have and it’s exactly the same.
This content is keeping me sane lol so wholesome, love to see people appreciating a good biscuit 🥹
I love how you can see the sun going down in the door. You know you found a good chicken place when you walk in at dinner and leave after dusk.
I think it would be cool if you showed us different New Zealand only fast food restaurants.
It's just mc Donald's kfc and burger king really
I LOVE the red beans and rice and the mashed potatoes with cajun gravy. Spicy sandwich is sooo good.
So many people I know love the beans and rice. Including myself!
I wish they would have had a chance to try the Cajun rice. I still hate they removed it from the menu
Yes, that was the best. My other go 2s were the beans and rice, and the mash with gravy.
It was too salty for me..
@LoriL010 everything at Popeyes is too salty for me, but once every 2-3 months, I'll get some😅
The Cajun rice was 🤌🏻
I was also disappointed when they took the giblets out of the gravy. Now it's almost like KFC.
It's ashame some families in each state they visited, couldn't show them around.Im happy they are enjoying our beautiful Country ❤️ safe travels friends ❤️
Why ashamed? Was there some schedule they were following and expecting to be shown around ahead of time?
I love this family so much. Makes me want to have kids but I’m 40 now. But yeah the cutest family ever.
You can still go to Popeyes though
Popeyes definitely has the best fast food Fried Chicken! What you kept calling honey butter was just honey. It makes everything better though.
You have to watch though, some places will give you honey sauce, which has honey added to high fructose corn syrup. KFC did that and it was horrible tasting.
Terrible
The breading is good but the chicken often is that plasticky stuff. Yuck
You obviously don't have Bojangles.
And it actually isn't even honey. It's sugarwater.
The way you tore into that food was hilarious! Sam, you were like a wild man who just got rescued from the woods! Lol! Can't wait to see you try the other places!
I like how they all share everything!! They only got 2 drinks!! That’s smart
It's fun to see the whole family enjoying some Southern food with such gusto!
You’re cringe
Sam's facial expressions was enough for me. 😂. "Love that chicken from Popeyes"
No one cares
@@yungbake2161You are reported to TH-cam again for unprovoked harassment.
@@DUCKDUCKGOISMUCHBETTER oh no I’m so worried!! What will I do! Sdfu 🤣🤣
@@yungbake2161 You are again reported to TH-cam for doubling down on your abusive nonsense.
Pure joy watching y'all!! Thanks!
This family is awesome. Hope you enjoyed your time in the states. Your videos make me realize I often take for granted all of the great things America has to offer.
I think Sam liked this even more than Denz liked the Walmart candy aisle!
You’re too involved in this. Get a life.
@@yungbake2161You are reported to TH-cam again for unprovoked harassment.
@@yungbake2161The irony you're telling someone to "get a life" while you're spending yours going through posting negative remarks on people's comments.
@@tysan8059exactly my thoughts, thanks for saying it first!!
@@tysan8059 didnt ask
I just LOVE the look on Atlanta's face from 11:40 when Sam starts talking about robbing the honey butter from Popeye's LOL!
This was an absolute pleasure to watch. Glad y'all enjoyed your meal(s)!
If you do another tour in the south; try Bojangles. They have fried chicken and a blueberry biscuit. I think you should try their sweet tea. It's soo good.
I didn't see you guys try it, but dipping a spicy tender in the mashed potatoes and cajun gravy is the most satisfying taste you can get at Popeyes! You have to try it next time. I actually scoop the potatoes with the tender to get a lot on there!
I second this comment!!
You made me want Popeye’s for dinner tonight! I don’t know how your family fell into my feed today, but I’m so glad you did!
You haven’t lived until you’ve used the biscuit to eat the mashed potatoes and gravy 🤤
I use the lazy biscuit method, crumble a biscuit (medium chunks) into a mashed potato and gravy bowl and eat with a spoon.
I use my biscuit to scoop up my red beans and rice 🤤
I think you get your meal free if you can actually eat the biacuit dry and not die... 😂
Eat the mp&g with a spoon, then sop up the leftovers with the biscuit
I see you are a man of culture, cheers to dipping the biscuits 🥂
I really enjoyed watching them experience for the 1st time what many of us have for many years!! I love watching this family.
I really enjoyed the dynamic of your relationship between your kids, your wife, your husband & how all of you spoke to each other respectfully. A lot of families seem to have personality clashes & misbehaved bratty children but your kids were a breath of fresh air. Very well mannered & very well behaved. Even some husbands & wives don't know how to talk to each other properly or respectfully. No one seemed to be talking AT each other or OVER each other & no one seemed to be irritated, annoyed or disappointed with each other either. You guys actually listen to each other & respond to each other with a sense of urgency & eagerness. I mean, I do understand that it IS TH-cam after all & you guys have control over editing & maybe some things were edited out (maybe) but everything seemed to be good smoothly during the entire vid. I realize I'm sure your kids have "off days" where they might behave better than other days in the privacy of your home & @ school but in this particular video, it was impressive. You may or may not be a "perfect" family but you guys seem to be a reasonable, personable & respectful family. Which is truly a relief & a breath of fresh air. You guys Rock! 🎸 I enjoyed the actual review of the Food as well & each & every one of your comments & opinions. Great family you guys have, great content & great review! Peace & Blessings.
Happy to see you all enjoying yourself 😀
Atlanta looked in pain by the end of the video!
Popeyes is actually the hardest, toughest biscuits. Rofl!!!!!! If you liked them this much… I can’t WAIT, until you get to try REAL, fluffy, multi-layered, homemade, buttered biscuits! Y’all… my sweet New Zealand family… it only gets better! 😉😋 So happy y’all finally got to travel to the USA, and have all these experiences. Love y’all!
I am happy to see y'all enjoying all the crazy food options here in the USA! Enjoy!
Watching Sam's reactions to each new flavor is hilarious. He, like me, loves Popeye's. I believe that the name came from the founder, who's nickname was Popeye, after the cartoon character, but not the cartoon sailor himself.😂
It actually came from a fictional detective that Al Copeland liked named Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle
No. The owner’s name was Al Copeland. Popeyes isn’t named after him or a cartoon but a character in a detective movie.
@@anndeecosita3586 yeah someone already said that. No one thinks you’re cool bc you know this.
I knew the origin of the restaurant name. But they did use the cartoon "Popeye & Olive Oyl" in their marketing in the 70's and 80's.
@@yungbake2161You are reported to TH-cam again for unprovoked harassment.
Son ain’t even talking. He punishing that food. 😂🤣
Boys will be boys!😁
I'm a sides guy... but to each their own. Part of the fun part of these types of videos
Popeye’s chicken sandwich is THE chicken sandwich. It never disappoints. And unlike that other chicken place with three letters, Popeye’s still has honey 🍯 for their biscuits!
Jolibees chicken sandwich is 10X better.
@@jamslam5641 Nah it's solid though
What a chaotic episode. Watching Denzel murder those sammies and Atlanta waxing on the food coma were adorable. Great video!
I'm loving mom and dad's expressions Enjoying the food 😊
I absolutely love Popeye's!! ❤ Happy you all enjoyed it and your trip to the US!! ❤️
I'm a country girl and grew up eating honey with our biscuits. I haven't had that in ages sadly! Who else remembers when the only sauce you got with chicken tenders was honey? Or maybe bbq. Or did I just eat at Ryans too much as a kid 😂
I remember always dipping chicken in honey 😊
When I worked at canes I took the leftover honey from the honey mustard, hot sauce packets and seasoning to make like a hot honey sauce
My family is from a farming community and we eat biscuits and syrup
@@anndeecosita3586 that's how my parents ate them with cane syrup but my mom got so tired of it - that's what she had to take to school for lunch and her dad would take them to work
my absolute, favorite, #1 fast food in the U.S. Love Popeye's. Mashed potatoes and gravy are particularly good.
I would love to cook for your family. The sounds, faces & expressions you all make would be my reward. :) I love your videos.
Hope Atlanta got some rest she looked a little travel sick 😫 Blessings to you all from Oregon.
I've always wanted to go to New Zealand & if everyone is as nice as yall, I'm definitely going. I just love this family!
I have never seen anyone react to Popeyes this way and I am cracking up 🤣 from the first bite, yall were hooked and couldn’t stop eating 😭 but I love it! I’m just so used to having Popeyes around that I never wondered how people would react that don’t. I truly enjoyed this content, thanks for sharing 🤗
Red beans & rice is definitely a southern food and I love them. Their gravy is also yummy. And the biscuits are the bomb diggity.
The only thing disappointing about the red beans & rice at Popeye's is they don't have enough rice in it. It's definitely still my go-to side at Popeyes, though!
Love to see the excitement and enthusiasm your family has for our day-to-day fare in the U.S.! :-)
The" oooooooooooh" at the Popeye's wings had me Rollin. Love this fam 💙🤍
I love the spicy chicken, and all the sides. Especially the red beans and rice!😋 I think their drinks are too sweet. Oh yeah, I love them biscuits.
The red beans and rice are the best!
Just bring the drink home and squeeze some fresh lemon in the lemonade drinks. :D
That's what I do
@@princess-mn2li I dunno, the mashed potatoes gravy is pretty much godly nectar...
@@jovetj yes the potatoes and gravy are heavenly as well!
Popcorn shrimp and the shrimp po boy are usually what I get from Popeyes
Agreed.....best chicken franchise.....best tasting chicken and potatoes and gravy
It was so much fun watching you guys enjoy Popeye's!! It's my favorite fast-food chicken for sure.
No one cares. Also, Georgia is overrated and schedules highschool teams. War eagle.
I’m a fan of getting just a side of gravy and using it as a dip for the chicken tenders and the biscuit! It’s a must! Also honey is great with the tenders and the biscuit! Love your channel and your amazing family! Watching from Tampa, FL!
I love y'all.. I love watching y'all's videos.. I grew up eating some of these places my whole life and I realize I take some things for granted.. welcome to America and keep making these videos.. I love them and I love the way y'all talk 👍🫶
you are all great and I hope you enjoy each of our American staples as much as we do. we have nothing but heartfelt love for our Kiwi, Aussie, and UK fam
I live in Georgia. It honestly brings me so much joy watching your lovely family try American food! We have some pretty tasty stuff over here, especially in the South lol
The joy on their faces makes me feel good. How does that work? Lol. They are experiencing ecstacy and im here for it.
Love watching the pure joy on Sam's face when he was eating. We do have a great variety eateries in the US, but if you lived here you would probably get tired of dining out.
