'I Was Crying': Dad Describes Trying Popeyes Chicken Sandwich

After Denis Gray’s father tried the now-legendary Popeyes chicken sandwich, his review was positive, to say the least.

Gray was able to catch his father’s enthusiasm on camera, as he extolled the virtues of the sandwich to his wife at their Maryland home on August 20.

“My dad had reacted to food that way at some point … but never to this extent,” Gray told Storyful. “He was talking about the sandwich as if it were a life-changing experience.”

Gray’s father can be heard in the video exclaiming that the sandwich brought him to tears. “And the tears tasted like chicken!”

Gray’s mother seems pretty unfazed by the whole commotion. “My mom’s reaction was so nonchalant because we all live with my dad,” Gray said. “She’s been married to him for over 25 years so it’s nothing we’re not accustomed to.” Credit: Denis Gerald Gray Jr via Storyful
