Listen: California restaurant secretly turns to Popeyes for its fried chicken

Listen: California restaurant secretly turns to Popeyes for its fried chicken

A restaurant named Sweet Dixie Kitchen reportedly has a fried chicken secret: buying Popeyes chicken and serving it to customers who order certain items on their menu.

The brunch spot in Long Beach, California was outed by a diner posting a review on Yelp. In response, the owner said, “We PROUDLY SERVE Popeyes spicy tenders- the best fried chicken anywhere and from New Orleans- which are delivered twice a day.”

Is it acceptable for restaurants to buy other food and pass it off as their own? And can you really make money when you’re paying for someone else’s chicken? Doc’s main takeaway on today’s show was that he, Kal and Kris should open a fast-food joint together.
