Thank god that they are closed at least 1 day per week...otherwise I would eat there every day.

I like the little chicken and biscuit things they sell in the mornings. They are incredible.

The chicken minis?

I really like Chick-fil-A, no question. I wish they were open on Sunday because that's my only fast food day. I hope that's not too religious

I think Hobby Lobby is closed on Sundays...

Isn't that going a little to the extreme? I mean, CFA is good, but it isn't that good.

Since I like fries, I generally stay way from getting my meat fried too, so I stick with the grilled and it is actually quite good. IMHO, the best grilled chicken sandwich of any fast food restaurant and better than some fast casual and sit down chains. I like that they use halfway decent lettuce and tomato and you can get a quite tasty whole wheat bun.

As an atheist, the religious thing bugs me too, but I have no problem giving business to a place that makes a good product. If they were actively discriminating against people, I would have a problem, but simply being religious and closed on Sundays doesn't bother me. Indeed, Cathy himself said that his religion isn't the only reason they close on Sunday. They also do it, as mentioned elsewhere, to give their employees at least one day of rest a week. That is something I really can appreciate, as an employment lawyer, because there are tons of people who get completely screwed on their work schedules.

BTW, CFA have started opening restaurants here in Southern California over the past 5 years or so, which makes me happy.

Here in L.A., we have quite a famous place for suits called 3 Day Suit Broker that works on the same philosophy. They sell designer suits for big mark downs, but are only open Friday-Sunday (some open on Thursday too now I think). Saves on all kinds of costs.

No, not really--it saves me from having to cook breakfast on Sundays, and he enjoys it.

Hmmmm.. haven't noticed those. I think I know what I want tomorrow morning!

I do enjoy their chicken sandwiches and breakfast biscuits. But when I'm in the south and have a choice between CFA and Zaxby's I'll choose Zaxby's every time.

Those are good too but I think HawaiiTrvlr was referring to the breakfast biscuit. It's a big fluffy biscuit (also available without meat, for those who'd rather put honey or jelly on it) with a piece of chicken - or alternately with bacon, egg, and cheese.

Oh knock it off, you guys, you're making me hungry!

After hearing about Chick-fil-a for years, I finally tried one a few years ago when at a convention in the midwest. 'twas just OK, better prices than the Colonel's (well, part of that may be midwest vs. California) but not as tasty.

As for the "open on Sunday" thing, *shrug* their business, their choice. My favorite local Lebanese place is closed Sun and Mon. *shrug* ... if I get a hankering for schwarma for a Monday lunch, I'll end up getting gyro instead.

I just got an email where you can sign up to try out the new Spicy Chicken sandwich, starting at the end of May. It gets introduced to everyone on June 7th.

It was sent as a target email, so I don't think you can just print out a coupon. You also have to pick a time range on a particular day and location to sign up for.

I was bumming, as I had seen the sign up for the new sandwich, but was going out of the country for a month on June 4th!

Actually drove by a Chick-Fil-A at lunch time today. The sandwich was yummy.
