“Girl dinner” is the new food trend that is taking TikTok by storm. Social media users have been raving about it in recent weeks, and now the popular fast-food chain Popeyes decided to join in the trend.
In an online-exclusive offering, Popeyes added a “girl dinner” section on their menu that includes a selection of side dishes: mac & cheese, Cajun fries, mashed potatoes with Cajun gravy, red beans, and rice, coleslaw, and its signature biscuits.
This offering might be a surprising offering for those unfamiliar with the “girl dinner,” but it makes perfect sense once you know the story behind it. In order to prepare the “girl dinner,” you don’t have to be an expert cook or have some fancy ingredients. You only need to take a look in your fridge or pantry, take food items that seem appealing at the moment, sort them on a plate or a wooden board, and dig in. It is essentially a charcuterie board with less effort included.
The trend was started by TikTok user Olivia Maher, who showcased her “girl dinner” in a viral video posted back in May, and has since spread all across social media and apparently into the menus of fast food chains.
