In 2017, savvy guests discovered Sweet Dixie Kitchen, a trendy brunch spot in Long Beach, California, was serving Popeyes chicken and presenting it as their own. Owner, Kim Sanchez, was spotted walking through the front door with Popeyes bags, and it went viral overnight. People freaked out, and the backlash on social media sparked what was aptly named #Popeyesgate.

So, Popeyes has invited Sweet Dixie Kitchen to launch their newest product. Fans can try the new Popeyes Chicken Sandwich at Sweet Dixie Kitchen from 8-9 August before it is rolled out nationally in Popeyes restaurants from 12 August.
