After taking just one bite of the sandwich, the flavors wowed both reviewers. Then they compared it with Popeyes. One host said, I’m impressed. This is already one of the better. I mean, it’s pricier than like the $5 Popeye, but this is damn good!” 

Even though Popeyes are much more popular, the hosts felt Big Chicken’s sandwich was better despite the higher price. The other host stated that he usually thinks that food from a celebrity-run restaurant or chain could be subpar. However, he noted he was pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste of the Hall of Famer’s brand.
