The Popeyes Chicken Sandwich is back. The chicken chain has announced its official return date. Let the second-round of chicken wars begin.
Turns out we were idiots to assume the chicken sandwich wars would be fought exclusively by restaurants that serve
sandwiches.
In a recent interview with Business Insider, Taco Bell’s chief global food innovation officer Liz Matthews hinted at a new chicken offering – or perhaps several – that may somehow compete with other chains’ fast-food chicken sandwiches in the not-too-distant future. I think a lot of players out there are doing a great job, but what I will say is that we will interrupt that with what we re going to do on chicken, Matthews told Business Insider.

This week Taco Bell announced that it would be bringing back their potatoes after originally cutting them from the menu last year, and fans of the meal were outraged!
Both the Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes and the Spicy Potato Soft Taco will return to the menu permanently starting March 11. The return of our beloved potatoes is just the first step in showing our fans the strong continued commitment to vegetarian we are making this year, Liz Matthews, Taco Bell s Global Chief Food Innovation Officer, said in a statement. We have long been a leader in the vegetarian space, but this year, we have more meatless options in store that vegetarians, veggie-curious and even meat-eaters will love.
