California and Texas get a great combination of fast food restaurants. The last hotel I stayed at in California was next to a CFA and across the street from an In-n-Out.

Overall, CFA is one of the better fast food restaurants in terms of quality and customer service. I've also been told that their corporate office near ATL is a great place to work as it has lots of walking trails, free meals (not CFA food), and unlimited Ice Dreams. There is an officially optional church service every Monday.

I'm excited to visit one of the new Seattle-area locations soon. I didn't get to visit the original WA location (a CFA Express) at Western Washington University, which closed partly because the very liberal campus tended not to agree with the company's actions.

If anyone has visited the original location in Hapeville, GA aka the Dwarf House, it has a traffic guard and police presence during busy times.

One of the late Mr. Cathy's true loves was Hawaii, so before he died he opened a Hawaii-themed CFA called Truett's Luau where he hand picked the decor and menu. One of the items on the menu is a pineapple macadamia nut milkshake which sounds really good.

I was surprised to learn that what is now CFA didn't originally serve much chicken and as such, special CFAs serve a fair amount of beef.

I still think that the best chicken strips/tenders are sold in the deli of Publix Super Markets in FL/GA/AL/TN/NC/SC.
