Popeye’s Picks North Carolina To Test Amazing New Sandwich

Popeyes and hot sauce brand TRUFF have teamed up to launch a new line of TRUFF Chicken Sandwiches. They're also adding new TRUFF Sauce side cups. The good news? Popeyes locations here in North Carolina were chosen to test this amazing-looking new sandwich! Connecticut was also chosen but who cares about them haha. There are a total of eight variations that feature TRUFF’s Spicy Mayo. It features flavors of red jalapeños, umami, and black winter truffles along with mayo.

Sources also say that these test sandwiches could be offered nationwide in the future. Word is that a TRUFF Chicken Sandwich Bundle could also be offered. It would consist of your choice of one TRUFF Chicken Sandwich. Plus, eight bite-sized nuggets, one regular side of homestyle Mac & Cheese made with real butter and cream. It comes with a side of TRUFF Spicy Mayo for around $16.99 (prices could vary).

The Fast Food Post doesn't say which Popeyes locations in North Carolina are participating.

If you pay attention while you’re driving, you’ll notice people chowing down on burritos, burgers and just about everything else. Your car can be a pretty good makeshift dining room, but according to The Takeout, some foods are easier to devour behind the wheel than others and some things should be saved until you’re parked, not just stopped at a red light.

Now I have eaten a lot of food in the car that my co-host Maney has deemed unacceptable but I disagree. I have been known to grab a cup of cereal on the go or even a slice of pizza on a road trip but to me those seem like easy foods. Now, I'm not grabbing Lo Mein noodles in the car. I do draw the line somewhere.

So, I get it, driving is serious business, but there’s a way to eat responsibly while you drive and these are the best foods to eat while driving.

They’re really best when they’re fresh, so you don’t have time to waste when you get an order of fries. Handheld foods are ideal to enjoy in the car, but you can’t be opening packets of ketchup or other condiments for dipping when you need to keep your eyes on the road.

Eating something like a Blizzard from Dairy Queen while driving may be enough to make you look forward to your commute home. Containers and cups can fit in your cup holder, so you can easily spoon a bite at every stop light and pay attention to diving when the light turns green.

Grab a flattened because they stay together more than other burgers. Even if you grab a burger from one f the big 3, you can mush it down to help (before taking it out of the box or wrapper.  Ask for no tomato, so it's not sliding out, making a huge mess, like burgers from other restaurants do.  

We’re talking about one not loaded with condiments oozing out the side with each bite. But you can also keep it wrapped so it doesn't get everywhere too! 

The kind of slices you can fold, so the sauce or cheese doesn’t slip off the side. If it’s greasy, it’s not good for driving, so pull over to enjoy that.

These take your full attention even when you’re not behind the wheel, as you have to continually lick around the whole cone to avoid drips or worse, the scoop falling off entirely. It’s a ticking time bomb that you just can’t manage while driving, so go with the soft serve in a cup instead.

The best ones are loaded and you really need to sit down to enjoy one. How are you going to squeeze a lime on a taco while driving, anyway?

You have to hold it in one hand, use a fork to eat it with the other and then you have no hands left for driving.

They seem like an easy to manage road snack, but chips are greasier than fries and you don’t want your steering wheel to feel slick from all that oil.

It’s the messy hands that also make this a bad food for driving. Your hands will most likely be sticky and gross after eating a doughnut, plus, the filling could squirt out with any bite, so they’re just not a good driving food. Not to mention you will be cleaning up jimmies (sprinkles) for months!
