You guys have one of these? I went once and had a sandwich...not too impressed. But then I got a coupon for chicken strips and tried them. Those were the best chicken strips ever...they tasted like fresh, real chicken, not the frozen stuff you get elsewhere.
Then I had their nuggets...again same thing. I'm hooked! :-)

I am totally hooked on the biz, and the CEO's commitment to spreading the gospel.

I'm impressed with them... probably more their service level than their food, although their food is good. Their service motto is along the lines of 'whatever it takes to get a happy customer to come back.' I've seen workers walking people to their cars with umbrellas when it was raining (not kidding).
I understand it's Mr. Cathy's commitment to the Gospel that underlies the service aspect of the business. He's a pretty neat guy. I've heard him interviewed on Dobson's radio show as well as Moody's Primetime America radio show.

The manager of our Chick Fil A goes to our church; they are a great organization! They give scholarships for their teen workers for college. They are very aware of family needs of their workers. AND THEY HAVE CAFFEINE FREE DIET COKE, which is a rarity and one of the only places I can get a cola!! I love their bagels for breakfast and I love their nuggets, Southwest chicken salad, chicken salad sandwich, soup.........just about everything.
We have a girl who just returned from a 6 month missions trip, and at the airport, she was desperately hunting for a Chick Fil A in Dallas. Never found one, but she went as soon as she got home.

We don't hardly have them in Ca. - none in Northern CA. and only a handful in southern CA.
So, I made it a point to try one when I was back east. I kept hearing how good it was. I too, like the others, was not impressed.
Maybe I ordered the wrong thing as well? I think I had a chicken sandwich- didn't taste so special.

Once a month on Wed. night, we have an "Encounter Service" at our church. Always before the service, we have a Chick-Fil-A meal where you can either get nuggets or a sandwich, chips & one of their great brownies. It's a big hit, because it's one night no one has to cook!

Butter beans (thats baby lima beans to yall yankees) with a touch O real butter, roast beef an taters with carrots, celery, sweet onions, and some good brown gravy?
Grilled trout, (Not that farmraised store bought mess, but some wild caught fresh, thick and juicy.) smothered in lemon pepper sauce and some good ol sweet tea so cold and frosty yer fangers git frostbite?
Somebody hold my mule cause I'm gettin hongry all up around my mouth area.

Fast food is generally unhealthy everywhere. But we even have that tofunk.....er, "tofu" here in the south. The above post about food in California reminds me..... there are no "Cracker Barrels" there are there?

My mother was from the south. They moved to Los Angeles during the great depression BUT they never stopped cooking southern style!
FRIED EVERYTHING!!!
Southern food is the Best!! I think people today can't eat too much
of it because we don't work it off.
I HATE it that there are no cracker barrels here! whenever I go to the south, people ask where i want to go eat, It's always CB!

I didn't remember much about the sides, just that they had like a variety of really good chicken that was not breaded and fried. I would definitely buy into a franchise like that and make sure that I offered complete low carb meals that were good and that people could get quickly or through a drive-thru like every other fast food restaurant.

we do eat out almost everyday (gets old).
A lot of mexican food ( & chinese). Here's the key:
I try to eat my heavy meal by 3pm. ALways eat breakfast!
just make a shake in the blender with a lot of fruit and yogurt.
also good to have some cereal.
If you eat early, you will not be very hungry late at night.
when it's late, do not eat any carbs or sugars.
Candy is a big temptation. I can eat candy all day every day
non stop if I let myself.

El Pollo Loco is dog food compared to a local business here. They have a couple locations. It's called El Pollo Norteno.
Nothing but chicken and Tri-tip. Their chicken is way better than EPL. Their tri tip rocks. Simple meals...beans and salsa with your choice of tortella or you can get spanish rice
