Popular Culture
Nando's is mentioned extensively in a chapter of I Partridge: We Need To Talk About Alan, a comedic biography of fictional UK broadcaster Alan Partridge. Partridge reveals his love for the restaurant's food - he is notoriously fond of chicken and chips of any sort - and outlines his unique strategy for overcoming the inevitable delays in getting one's food at a Nando's, given the chain's (to him) over-complicated ordering system.

Famous quotes containing the words popular culture, popular and/or culture:
“The lowest form of popular culture—lack of information, misinformation, disinformation, and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people’s lives—has overrun real journalism. Today, ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
“There’s that popular misconception of man as something between a brute and an angel. Actually man is in transit between brute and God.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“The anorexic prefigures this culture in rather a poetic fashion by trying to keep it at bay. He refuses lack. He says: I lack nothing, therefore I shall not eat. With the overweight person, it is the opposite: he refuses fullness, repletion. He says, I lack everything, so I will eat anything at all. The anorexic staves off lack by emptiness, the overweight person staves off fullness by excess. Both are homeopathic final solutions, solutions by extermination.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
