they're alright, but just like when Krispy Kreme donuts came to the west coast, I don't think all that much of them. Processed foods don't deserve that much attention...

and they are well known for christian values/veiws

I remember when I was a kid growing up in Virginia in the 90s, Krispee Kreme was THE donut place. Dunkin' Donuts came and was only in business for about 2 years because they couldn't compete.

When I moved in California and found out KK was coming to the Bay Area, I rejoiced

Chick-Fil-A is the best fast food restaurant bar none.

omg, i fucking LOVE that place! i ate it every day in college because they had one in the dorm across campus.

i haven't had it since. i'm going to have to stop by there this weekend.

never heard of it

I've never had their stuff. I've actually always avoided it...

Is this true?

How chritian and how value-y are we talkin?

Am I gonna have to give up some chikkunz???

johnart said:

Too late, johnart. They've mentioned your name at our monthly meeting at least twice now...

ThreadBare said:

Nooooo!

You all are making me hungry

There aren't any here (and I gave up chicken a few years ago) but they're crazy!

From their website:

Q: What is the corporate purpose of Chick-fil-A, Inc.?

A: To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.

Why is that crazy?

AlexdeParis said:

I like Zaxby's a little better.....but I think it's only in Southern states.

errant said:

I think that's why I don't go as often either. I used to go there a lot at school since one was on campus. They were one of the few places that stayed open late. I still love the lemonade though.....I could drink it everyday. mmmm

CarrieMpls said:

wow. makes me want to eat chicken even though I'm a vegetarian and swore off fast food years ago!!!

SCNDLS said:

Cause it's a fast food joint, not a church. For my personal taste,it's a bit much as a corporate purpose statement. If that's their corporate purpose, then I'd like to see it in their advertising or visibly at their stores. I like to know what the companies I support stand for as much as possible. I do give them credit for at least having it on their website.

Like this (shot just around the corner from my house):


I think that's a crazy sign.
It's Dave's prerogative to have that on his sign, but at least it sets the tone and lets me know I won't be spending my money there. By the same token it let's a more traditional person who might want to honor Jesus through some shag or Berber know to do it there.

It never dawned on my dumb ass that the reason Chick fil a's are closed on Sundays might have to do with religion.

johnart said:

I guess it's a good way for them to draw their "niche market"!

heartbeatocean said:

Absolutely. Hey, we got like a church in every corner here.
I'm sure Dave's just fine.

I live in a southern state and I've never seen one. I doubt they have a chicken sandwich as good as the ones at Chick-Fil-A.

AlexdeParis said:

there is also one of those about 2 miles from my house...it's closer than the chik-fil-a...i go right on by...
i'm in Valrico,FL.... tampa bay area

AlexdeParis said:

zaxby's is high for fast foos. and the food is not served as fast...made to order

AlexdeParis said:

Well, they specialize in wings, but sell sandwiches, strips, salads, etc.....it's just a nice change from Chick-Fil-A. Their salads are pretty good.

peb319 said:

For some reason I thought you were in Australia.

johnart said:

Me either. I had no clue their reason for the business was religious. I don't care though.

I always see this place whenever I visit Atlanta,but I've never tried it.

AlexdeParis said:

When I go to ATL,I always go crazy over the other places to eat there...like Checkers

and that place with the small hamburgers...sorta like a southern version of White Castle? What's it called??
