CHICK-FIL-A OPENED THIS WEEKEND

Posted October 17, 2005 at 8:46 AM by HeyMeg in Food & Drink

If you’re not from the East Coast or certain southern states you have no idea what good news this is. Chick-Fil-A has opened in Roseville. Chick-Fil-A is a fast-food delight made famous by its original chicken sandwhich, which consists solely of a perfectly-battered peppery-buttery chicken breast, two pickle slices and a white bread bun. With crinkle fries and a dr. pepper you’ve had the Chick-Fil-A experience. My husband and I stopped in Roseville Friday night on our way out of town to see if the rumored Chick-Fil-A had arrived. As we approached we saw spotlights and joked that they might be for the opening. They were! When we got there the lines made In&Out seem like nothing. There were police patrols to manage the crowds in the parking lot. Serious business, people. Anyway, check it out when you’re up there. Some ground rules, though: A) YES, they only serve chicken. We heard people complaining about this in line and B) they are closed on Sundays.

This has to be some of the worst news I’ve heard all year. The coincidence with this recent story:

has not gone unnoticed.

I love chick-fil-a! Best fries ever! Best complimentary sauces. As with in-n-out I ignore their Christian affiliation.

In pointing it out you have failed to ignore the Christian affiliation. Are you that anti-Christian that it even matters? Its burgers and chicken. Heaven on earth, I might add. :)

I guess it would matter on a late Sunday afternoon when you’re coming back from a wild weekend of gambling and boozing in Reno and all you want is some tasty Chick-fil-a fries and chicken.

When I say “Christian,” I don’t mean “believes in Jesus and good deeds.” I should have used a different term, since

I mean more like this:

nope: another way to put it would be that by “Christian” you mean “suspect business practices” (they settled out of court)
http://www.mcrcnet.org/Reports/2003/092003/civilrightsreport092003category.htm
and/or you mean “contributors to the political party whose view is counter to mine on several issues” (that’s conjecture on my part, of course)

more importantly, where does Opensecrets.org get off listing Zell Miller as “ambiguous party”?

Zell Miller was unambiguously a Democrat. Don’t they get their information from an actual source? like, you know, the internet? i call b.s. on OpenSecrets.org…
