Al Copeland quit quit school at a young age. Started a bunch of businesses. He passed away years ago. I remember he use to race boats with Donnie Osmund back in the 80's. Chicken is super unhealthy but it is good.
@beastmode: Al Copeland had a showroom with his racing boats right off of I-10 in Metairie. He also used to have fantastic light displays for Christmas at his house near the lake until his neighbors complained about the number of cars crowding the streets. He moved the lights to Popeye's HQ but it wasn't the same. When he opened Copeland's restaurants, they were one of our favorite places to go when we lived near New Orleans.There used to be a Copeland's of New Orleans on Richmond Ave, but it wasn't quite the same. I think it closed down years ago. I think the last time I passed that way, an apartment complex was on the site.
