After trips through Bhutan and Hong Kong, Anthony Bourdain told People Magazine in 2018 that he felt ready to enjoy some American classics, including the fast food chain Popeyes.

"To me, Popeyes is exotica," Bourdain said. He frequented Popeyes on three separate occasions, three days in a row while filming for his show in Louisiana.
