NEW ORLEANS — She is the diva of the drive-thru. And in the New Orleans area, which is noted for its music and its food, it’s the perfect combination.

Cynthia Carter works in the drive-thru at a Popeyes fast-food restaurant in Kenner, Louisiana. For the past 30 years she has been singing the menu to customers,

But unlike the soul singer, Carter is no Lady Marmalade when it comes to singing the menu.

WGNO reported. She sings the entire menu, including the chicken, side dishes and desserts.

“She sounds like Patti LaBelle,” one customer told WGNO.

Carter began singing 30 years ago when a customer in line broke into song, WGNO reported. Carter responded by singing back.

She has been serenading customers ever since.
