Chick-fil-A.....

18,403 14,761 September 4, 2014 at 05:54 AM in Humor
So the first CFA in the state opened up this morning. On the news, they said people were camping out for a good 36 hours.

I've been to CFA in another state before, but camping out?

Looks like Black Friday. One guy drove over 1000 miles to attend Confused




With that being said, gotta grab some lunch later Eat

They fry the chicken and waffle fries in peanut oil, that's what makes it so good.
And Culver's is excellent.

Now I'm hungry.

An unplanned excursion had us out way past dinner so we attempted to go to CFA on the way home(not our first choice, but it was convenient) only to find the nearest one closed for renovation. Jeebus, from the looks of the place it's gonna be a MegaCFA with a drive thru that looks like the old bank lanes...and at least double the square footage of the old standard store that was on the site...

So if I get to a Chic-fil-a in the next week or so when I am on the road is there anything I should really try there that is better than everything else? Keep in mind this might be the only time I get to a Chic-fil-a in the next year.

No, their business model is perfectly fine.

In and Out owns the distribution centers where they get their meat. In short, they are their own butchers so they can control the quality of their food.

Being they don't freeze their meat, they will not allow a store to be open more than 500 miles from a distribution center.

Wendy's, like most places, buy their meat from a vendor and has little to no control over the quality of their food.

Hence the reason why Wendy's, McD's, Chick-fil-a, Burger King, etc can open locations just about anywhere.

While I love an In and Out burger, their fries are horrible.

I don't get the Chick-fil-a love. I've had it a couple of times and it was average at best. I'm not knocking them, the one by me usually has a long line.

My daughter loves the stuff and will ask me to bring it to her for lunch at school every now and then. I can't tell if the line is because people love the food or because they take forever to complete an order?

For me the waffle fries are much more of a draw than the chicken products...

In n Out is the only place that still cooks and makes the burger fresh unlike all the others that just microwave it when you order. So gross. In n Out is ok but my favorite is the Habit, where they also make them fresh. In n Out could definitely use some help with their skinny limp fries though.
Please identify for me the places that microwave the burger.

This. My orders are usually up rather quickly.

Probably either just the chicken sandwich, or if you want spicy, the spicy chicken sandwich. The spiciness is irregular, I've had some that were barely any hotter than regular, and some that were decently hot. If I'm really hungry, I'll get one of each laugh out loud

Habit takes too long and is too expensive. Not worth it for a barely above fast food quality burger. In N Out is still the best balance of quality and speed.
