Good morning!

Now that that this thread, that originated in OMNI, has been moved to the long-running Chick-fil-A thread here in Dining Buzz, posts and material (and responses thereto) that were religious arguments or characterizations have been redacted; there are many places to discuss such in the OMNI/PR forum.

Thank you.

cblaisd,
Co-Moderator, Dining Buzz

I was inspired by this thread to have Chick Fil-A for lunch today: 12 piece classic nuggets, medium waffle fries and 2 tubs of honey mustard sauce. My drink was a Starbucks iced coffee, so no lemonade today.

Good experience. It was their pleasure to serve me. ^^

Mr. Kipper consumed one of their wraps for dinner. He won't say he enjoyed it.

I went to my local CFA recently and noticed new card readers like what Target, etc. have. Out of curiosity, anyone try Google Wallet or Apple Pay to see if those actually work? I'll probably try next time I go but that might be a while since I don't eat there that often.

One of our local Chick-fil-A managers is participating in their employee to owner program (not the correct name, I'm sure). Right now, she travels every few weeks to assist with store openings, and just returned from SEA.

Ever ready to advance the cause of science, MrDV conducted a comparison of the standard chicken biscuit and the spicy version. The standard does have an unpleasant, sweetish aftertaste which is marginal in the spicy one. Either the spice masks it or it's not included in the recipe. He says the biscuits are slightly sweet on their own.

Both counter service and the drive-thru lane are remarkably quick and efficient. Personnel are a little saccharine but that's far preferable to dealing with Hardee's verbosely argumentative sales pitches, for example.

The differences between the spicy and regular chicken are:
  • The marinade
  • The spicy breading has something in it to make it a red color, so it is easily distinguishable

Ebay. Set up an alert. Not cheap, though.

Dammit, I had one. But I think it got rightsized.
