chick-fil-a

i like to give my readers what they want. earlier today maggie asked me, "how come you haven't written about chick-fil-a on your blog?" the reason she asked me this is because this guy i work with put his business card in and got picked for 100 free chick-fil-a sandwiches which were delivered to our office yesterday. so we all got to eat them since clearly one person cannot eat 100 fried chicken sandwiches, no matter how good they may be.

it was the first time i had ever had chick-fil-a. "what?" i can hear you gasp. "you NEVER had chick-fil-a???" no, readers. i had not. i grew up in illinois, texas, and michigan, and after college i moved to new york city. there has never been a chick-fil-a anywhere i have ever lived. actually, i think there might have been one somewhere in manhattan, but i had never had it and therefore never bothered to hunt it down. there was so much other fried chicken i needed to eat in new york.

actually, now that i think about it, there probably wasn't any chick-fil-a in new york. my friend k, who had lived in little rock before moving there, was constantly talking about it and bitching about how it could not be found in the city.

so yesterday i had it for the first time and damn was it tasty. the waffle fries were delicious. the cole slaw was pretty much kfc style. and the chicken sandwiches were soooo good. the meat was juicy, crispy, flavorful. whatever spice mixture they use on the chicken is yummy. i also liked that they put pickles on them.

now i was eating one of 100 sandwiches which had been sitting around for probably an hour or so by the time i got one. so the buns and the fries were a little limp. i do not blame chick-fil-a for this and i would definitely go back.

word on the street is that the chick-fil-a people are really religious and the restaurants are not open on sundays. so you have to get your fill of chickeny goodness the other six days of the week. chick-fil-a, i give you two wings up.
