Popeyes Cajun Rice

Posted by FastFoodCritic, August 17, 2008

I know there's some Popeyes fans in the SE house, and I'm definitely one of them. The Fried Chicken, Chicken Strips, Cajun Fries and Onion Rings are all very good.

However, the Cajun Rice (aka "dirty" rice) is.... Bleh.

It's dry and bland, almost flavorless, despite (supposedly) having ground beef, chicken gizzards and green onions in the mix. I don't understand this, because I've heard other people rave about how good it was.

The Red Beans and Rice was fine, but the Cajun Rice was just plain bad. I've tried it twice, and cannot see myself ever eating it again, and certainly not recommending it.

Are the Popeyes in my town preparing it wrong?

Has anybody else had this dish? Positive? Negative?
