I thought Chick-fil-A had already somewhat caved the the lghbmntyoupasd people? Or is this specifically the whole "trans" thing?

Just saw that :facepalm:
CFA should come with a Trump sandwich. All white meat, American cheese, smothered in a liberal tears sauce. Served straight to the customer. Not available on Sunday since even that gets them riled up
What a minute, CFA sandwiches already are all WHITE meat! :P
-
The boycott sure must be effective because every one of the CFAs I have passed in the past few years has lines wrapped around the building from open to close.

Yep, drive thrus always have long lines and the interior is full every time I drive by one.
Honesty I think their chicken is so-so but some of their sauces largely make up for it.

Yup. In general I don't go out of my way for CFA. I often go elsewhere even if it's not out of my way. Except when the "boycott" stuff ramps up. Then I go out of my way for an okay chicken sandwich. =)
-
Today is a great day to not eat Chick-fil-A 🏳️🌈😊
Well, :duh: -- it's Sunday, they're closed for the Sabbath.
There's a Chick-fil-A in the town where I work. It's not conveniently located, but I may ignore that and go get a chicken sandwich for lunch on Monday just because.
-

So you're saying they're racist. But we knew that -- today EVERYTHING is racist (except BLM, of course).
-
CFA seems to have plenty of support. I'm not making a 160 mile round trip when I can cook better at home.
-

Nearest CFA is an hour's drive away, but they occasionally send a CFA food truck out here for the lunch hours. I've never eaten there, because my lunch is only an hour long, so I don't have enough time to wait in line.
-
Reasonably close to Harbor Freight on Colfax and some other places I frequent.
Might give it a try.
-
CFA makes good food, the restaurants I've been in have always been clean and well staffed with courteous people.
I'ts good food, not great food.
We've got one in the next town to the south where we do most of our business. We hit it a few times a year.
-
My wife recently had her first (and only according to her) visit to Jesus Chicken. She was not impressed and truthfully neither was I. The whole meal was off. Maybe it is because they got used to bagging (and steaming everything) during the drive thru only phase. Whatever it was I was not impressed and my wife flat out did not like it. So it looks like no more Jesus Chicken will be passing my lips like a communion wafer (I gave those up about 100 years ago).

-
I've eaten at Jesus Chicken a couple of times. It's.... OK. Not my favorite. I have one less than a half mile from my house and I've never been to it.
But, anytime the left wants to cancel a company, that makes me like that company a LOT more.

Heh. Im at the cfa right now while I wait for a tire rotation. =)

Chick-fil-A does tire rotations? Who knew?

One free rotation and balance with every chicken club purchase.
-
Their chicken sandwich is OK but nothing particularly exceptional. It does seem like it is a larger higher quality chicken breast than most fast food joints. It is rare for me to eat fast food so if I do partake I try and get a better quality like CfA.
-

Agreed. Above average food and quite good service.
-
Never cared for their food. I do dig their business behavior though. Been in quite a few times because my boy likes their food (little kids seem to love bland stuff) and it's always clean, they are meticulous in order accuracy, they're prompt and they never have rude or English-illiterate people working as cashiers.
I also like In-n-Out and Freddy's Steakburgers for the same reasons. Better food though.
-
Freddy's is another one that I've been to (when I was in Iowa). I enjoyed it.
There's one less than 2 miles from my house that I have not been to.
I was talking with neighbors who were regulars there and they stopped going. Apparently they decided that cleaning anything was beneath them and it was REALLY gross.
Of all of the fast food places I've been to in the past 5-7 years or so, the one that I really liked most of all was Culver's (also when I was in Iowa). REALLY GOOD food. MUCH better than McDonald's, BK, or Wendy's.
-

Yeah, In-N-Out is similar to CFA. Better food IMO, but I really have to give CFA staff credit for their attentiveness without being clingy. I don't think I've ever been in one where I had to take my tray to the trash can. Somebody always seems to come around at just the right time and grab the trash.

Culvers has the same clean/attentive vibe, but I've yet to really fall in love with their menu. It strikes me as very confusing, they can't decide what they want to be. Seafood, soups, salads, fried fish, chicken, hamburgers, pot roast, steak dinner... it's not quite as over-diverse as Cheesecake Factory, but it's pretty far out there for a fast food joint.
-
I think some of the offerings at Chick-fil-A are pretty good, but if I want fast food chicken there's a better place that's closer to me - Raising Cane's. https://www.raisingcanes.com/
Have to tell a chicken story about KFC back when I was in high school. I already had my driver's license, so after a hard day of working at home (I think we painted the kitchen or something like that) I got sent to buy a bucket of chicken from KFC. I ordered "All White Extra Crispy" . . . and so did everyone else in line. So there would be a wait. The manager tried to talk people into getting Original Recipe - no takers. He even offered first one, then two extra pieces in the bucket - STILL no takers. Then he asked "Why doesn't anyone want original recipe? It's ready to go!"
Which of course meant it had been sitting in the hot box for a while.
I didn't say that of course, but when nobody else answered I said "I'm not saying original recipe is greasy, but trying to fish a piece of it out of the bucket is like trying to pick up a wet bar of soap in the shower."
Everyone - except the manager - nodded and laughed.
-
I've had Cane's, I've had Popeye's, I've had KFC, I've had Jesus Chicken.
When I want good chicken, I go to Gus's Fried Chicken. THAT is some damn fine chicken.
https://gusfriedchicken.com/
Get you some.
-
I never thought about whether the food at CFA was particularly good. I just like it because it's one of the only clean places that exist. I like Cane's but I can only enjoy it if I get ot from the drive through and try not to think about how dirty the kitchen must be if the dining room is that bad.

To be honest, I didn't pay any attention to the menu. I let my nephew direct my ordering. I had a butter burger, fries, one of the best shakes I've ever had, and he and I split an order of curds.
-
I've always loved KFC.
I STILL love KFC, but I've not had it for quite some time.
But the best fried chicken I've ever had was from Mrs. Stamm's Deli in Carlisle, PA, when I was in college there from 83 to 87. Absolutely FANTASTIC fried chicken, head and shoulders better than KFC.
-
Culvers reminds me of Steak'n'Shake, but without the drooling idiot sitting on the curb outside.
-
The best fried chicken in this area comes from a joint called Mountain Chicken. They advertise that it's not greasy. And it's not. Good stuff, beats KFC, CFA, Popeye's and Bojangles (everybody beats Popeye's and Bojangles). It even beats the Western Steer buffet in Newton. They have pretty decent fried chicken, surprisingly for a buffet.
-
I've always said that Roy Rogers, back when it was an independent chain, had the very best fried chicken out of any of the chains, even better than KFC. But, Roy's wasn't nearly as big as KFC so it was harder to get.
-
We had a lot of Roy Rogers outlets around here. Most are now Wendy's.
-
Had CFA for lunch today in MCO. Still tastes good to me.
-
I made my anti-boycott pilgrimage to CFA today. As always, the food was :meh: but I can tell myself that I've struck a blow against the SJWs. I happened to be wearing my Vietnam Veteran call cap -- three CFA employees thanked me for my service, and one young man reached across the counter to shake my hand. That never happens at McDonald's.
-
My wife and some of her friends love the Southwest salad with grilled chicken. Also she sometimes stops at CFA in the morning and gets biscuits.
I like their spicy chicken sandwich, but not enough to wait in the long lines.

I don't miss much about Seattle, but Ezells Chicken was outstanding!

I've not eaten at a Steak'nShake in close to 30 years. I know I enjoyed it, but I don't remember much about it other than it was a tasty burger and good fries.
But what's with the drooling idiot?
You started hanging out in front of a Steak'nShake? :rofl:
-

We had several in Central Pennsylvania when I was growing up. It was one of our favorite fast places to eat.
My Mom LOVED their Horsey sauce. I was quite fond of their BBQ sauce, as well.
Hardees finally did them in in Central PA before Hardees finally hit the skids.
Hardees are still around, but are really only a shadow of what they used to be food wise.

Love their burgers and milk shakes banana especially. The fries? Oh heck no, can't stand shoestring fries. I like my fries thick. I always sub onion rings for the fries there.
-
Generally I agree with you on shoestring fries.
But, the crispier they are, the better shoestrings are. And the ones I had at SnS were EXTRA crispy.

I was still living there when that one opened. All the cool kids protested the homophobic Jesus chicken (if you are unfamiliar, Santa Barbara is similar to Berkeley in their liberalism), but it ended up being busier than the In-N-Out up the street because of regular Joes going there.
This is also partly the City Council's fault because at the time, they only approved a crappy location for CFA in hopes they wouldn't be in business very long.

Kind of surprised that the city isn't pursuing an immediate business cessation order.
"but it ended up being busier than the In-N-Out up the street because of regular Joes going there."
I remember reading about some of the battles that went on over CFAs in various locations here on the east coast.
There was one that the the SJWs couldn't stop from going in very close to a university campus (they had kept it from going in ON university property, IIRC), so one interview with the protest chief (or whatever he/she/it was) has him claiming that they're going to boycott that CFA so hard that it will shut down for lack of business in a matter of weeks.
Some months later they circle back to see how things are going. That CFA is now one of the busiest in the country and is doing incredibly well, and the SJW protest chief's rage is just incandescent to the point where the entire article was glowing red hot he/she/it was so pissed.
It was a great read. :rofl:

The city council had better have a long talk with their attorneys. If the business met all the regulations and any requirements placed on it by the council or the zoning board or whoever had to approve it, the business is not legally at fault for the poor planning on the part of the municipality. If the city tries to shut them down, they could end up paying the franchisee beaucoup bucks.

That's why I'm hoping that the city tries to shut them down on public nuisance grounds...

This is Santa Barbara. The city council are the biggest libs of all. Especially the current one.

The obvious solution to ease the congestion is to open a second CFA location on the other side of town. That will split the crowd between two locations.
Problem solved. Problem staying solved.

No second CFA will ever be approved there. The current local strategy is trying to get all fast food out of the city. Unless it changed since I moved, no new restaurants can have a drive thru.
The only reason the In-N-Out got there is because they took the gamble of locating to an (at the time) unincorporated area between Santa Barbara and Goleta so only needed county approval. They have a really long drive thru that still sometimes makes it out to the street. I think the only time I ever waited in line less than 20min was if I got there right at 1100. All those idling cars drive the enviros crazy, yet even in uber-liberal SB, everybody drives there (and CFA).
Bonus points to In-N-Out because their location was annexed into Goleta, not Santa Barbara, so SB gets none of those tax dollars. =)

That is where we ate breakfast before the Indianapolis NRA show. They had a decent eggs/bacon/hash browns plate. I think we skipped lunch. Beat the normal fast food places.

One of the factors in me dumping a GF years ago was she had a raging hatred of CFA :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Like she asked me what my favorite fast food was and I said Chick Fil A and you’d have thought I said I liked to dress up as an SS trooper on the weekends or something she went insanely ballistic on me and started caterwauling about how they hate the gays and all that. A few more instances of her just losing her *expletive deleted*it on me for no logical reason at all and I said “nah this ain’t gonna work for me”

Agreed. Considering how many cars they are moving through, the one near me is the fastest.
I have had quick trips through the drive thru at Whataburger or Wendy's, but also had extra long waits. Chick-fil-a is pretty consistent.
-
Didn't I read that some entity brought in Jesus Chikin' people to run their drive through COVID systems?

Kroger has CFA sauces.
Wonder if some SJW will flip out in the aisle

My local chain, Giant, has been carrying the Jesus Chikin sauces for a couple of years now.
No subpsychotic meltdowns in the condiments aisle, and this is highly blue Fairfax County, Virginia.

That brings something to mind. There is a Chic-fil-a in Houston that is in the corner of a parking lot next to HW59. There is a U-turn lane under the overpass. I was there to take a U-turn and it was taking all day. Turns out half the people in the U-turn lane were planning to cross over to enter the Chik-Fil-A parking lot and were waiting all day for the traffic to clear to allow it. Thankfully it isn't an area I go often.

That’s cute. In my old town we have chicken row on a four lane main shot thru town. The chicken franchises in the same block but no Jesus chicken. The most popular is Raising Cane’s. They try to order, they don’t have enough fryer capacity and it be parking lot was designed by Jerry’s kids. So the Caniacs just line up out in the road in the lane that is the exit lane to get to the bypass and interstate. So bad the cops come, so bad they have highway department blinky signs saying don’t park in the road. People get in that morass and then pull out into the very moving other lanes as you come through the stoplight and over the hill. Last week I avoided three accidents within 200 yards.
Other town has the same issue with Jesus chicken and the store actually had those poor wholesome kids out in the street directing traffic.
-
I don't get it. I try to hit Jesus Chicken once every couple or three months just because the liberals love to hate them, but I don't find their chicken sandwich to be anything worth waiting in traffic for.

Yeah, the one I go to is pretty quick inside, and that's where I always go. It's too far away for me to go through the drive-through and drive home without the meal going cold. Inside is always super clean and there are always tables available. About the only con I can give inside is that there's an employee coming by every two minutes asking if they can do anything for me. =)
-
I like CFA; they have the best chicken sammies around here.
Fast food is my weakness, but I really don't like most of the burger places, so I try to hold out for CFA. The closest one to me is about 45 minutes driving time, so unless I'm already going in that direction, I don't go. I do try to work flights to TPA since there is a CFA next to our gates.
FYI, their mac and cheese is really good.
-
Honestly I can see NY's point on this when it comes to rest stops.
"While there is nothing objectionable about a fast food restaurant closing on a particular day of the week, service areas dedicated to travelers is an inappropriate location for such a restaurant," the bill's justification reads. "Publicly owned service areas should use their space to maximally benefit the public. Allowing for retail space to go unused one seventh of the week or more is a disservice and unnecessary inconvenience to travelers who rely on these service areas."

Yeah, I can see that in rest stops, airports, etc. Though they knew CFA's policy when they signed them up. They should never have signed with them vs altering the deal later.

Ben beat me too it, this isn't a problem with CF but the ones that gave them the contract knowing their hours/days of operation.
-

Agreed. I think it's just a thinly veiled dig at CFA and the values they hold. It's not a genuine attempt to improve services at rest stops.
-
You see the story I heard is that when Jesus Chicken was initially contracted with for the rest stops is the authorities were fine with it since other vendors at the stops were open on Sunday…much like a mall food court.
You don’t get to be OK with something like that at the start and then change your mind down the road and blame it on CFA.

If true that's a case of changing the rules after the fact and that changes things a bit.

I wonder if their being closed on Sunday is really such a disservice or inconvenience. Does it outweigh the fact that people just really love them some CFA every other day of the week? 'Cause people really be lovin' them some CFA.

It’s not. It’s just something the left loves to bleat about
Plenty of local restaurants here are closed one or two days a week. Sunday and Monday or Monday and Tuesday seem to be popular for those schedules. Real BBQ places are only open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and you don’t see the whining about either of those cases, but Chick Fil A closed on Sundays, might as well be the eating at a KKK buffet.
-
If true that's a case of changing the rules after the fact and that changes things a bit.
From what I've seen so far, CFA contracted with the New York State Thruway Authority (A stage agency?) to provide service 6 days a week, excluding Sundays.
So my question is - legally, CAN the state pass and enforce a law that changes a valid existing contract with a state agency? If the contract is valid, I don't see how they can change the terms under which CFA operates until such time as the existing contract expires.
-
IMHO, they can pass the law and use it to not renew the contract. But it's unenforceable against CFA (or anyone else with a similar contract) for the duration of the contract.

Then New York shouldn't have signed a contract that stipulated Chick-fil-A would be closed on Sundays.
There's this thing about contracts -- they are agreements that are binding in both parties who sign them. The State of New York agreed that the Chick-fil-A franchises along the NY Thruway would be closed on Sundays, and now the State of New York isn't happy with their [own] decision.

Politicians in New York or any of its political subdivisions do not observe the rules of decency, honor, justice, fair play, or the restraints of contract law or the Constitution.
That ploy of "reaching across the aisle" in terms of lauding and even co-sponsoring opposition laws they know will not pass is so common that the iggerink voters never catch on to it.

That may be the only time in any of the movies that one of the troopers actually landed a blaster shot...

Not to further thread drift, I rewatched Star Wars (first film/unaltered) yesterday and remarked the assault on the Rebel ship was pretty impressive given their later reputation. I think Kenobi jinxed them when he remarked "Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise."

It is pretty clear in the movie both from Tarkin's and Vader's statements that the Stromtroopers were ordered to let them escape from the Death Star so that the M-Falcon could be tracked to the rebel base. Leia then makes the comment "They let us go. It's the only explanation for the ease of our escape". You want to face someone who has a "I Force Choke for Fun" bumper sticker on his TIE Fighter after shooting Luke after being ordered not to?
Later getting beat by a bunch of Teddy Bears in VI is another matter.

I remember the very first SW movie (Now Episode 4) - I took my parents to see it when it was in the theaters. When the stormtroopers boarded the Rebel ship right at the beginning, they FILLED the corridor with blaster shots, hitting noting - my mother remarked "WHY CAN'T THEY HIT ANYTHING" to which I replied "YOU'RE A BETTER SHOT THAN THEY ARE, MOM!!"
The people in the row ahead of us turned to look, so I looked 'em in the eye and said, "WELL, SHE IS!" :rofl:

Seeing the screaming idiot made me wonder if anyone knew who she was.
Yep.
Jessica Starr.

I'd love to see her account of how she survived the violence of Trump's 4 years in the White House.
Given her bit of street theater I'd not be surprised if she didn't become a semi-professional protestor.
Or the screaming chick in adult films.
I never realized the person in that photo is a woman!
