SPICY OR MILD? Al Copeland, founder of Popeye's Chicken (as well as smaller and now-defunct Cajun chain Copeland's of New Orleans), has died. Despite whatever addictive chemical they may put in KFC to make you crave it fortnightly, Popeye's remains my fried chicken of choice, not just for the awesomely spicy chicken, but for the dirty rice and the invariably excellent biscuits. Also of interest in the obit? Popeye's didn't take its name from the spinach-loving cartoon character, but rather from Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle in The French Connection.
