My Chick-Fil-A adventure

I've only been to one store "grand opening". It was a Winn Dixie down in Atlanta when I was 6 or 7. They were doing a ton of 2 for 1 specials and triple coupons or something. We were dirt poor back then so my mother was always looking for food deals (she was one of those types who'd drive to 3 supermarkets for the best price on different stuff). It was the only time I remember her having to get two shopping carts for the stuff she bought (not helped by those small carts Winn Dixies had back then).

Krispy Kreme is *all* about the hype. They're perfectly serviceable commercial-grade donuts. Nothing more, nothing less.

But they are something different. I love me some Krispy Kreme, about 1 time a year.

I've always thought that was a stupid saying. Can you imagine your parents sitting at home, reading a letter written by you about some new chicken sandwich you tried? "Dear Mom and Dad, Found the best chicken sandwich ever. Love Junior Ps: send money"

My father would be glad to receive that letter. He would look off I the distance as my mother brought him another E36 M3ty McChicken feeling happy and a bit jealous that I was enjoying a far better chicken.

Haha, that just made my day a little better.

I played around with my wife today! Er, I played A ROUND with my wife today. Eighteen holes of golf. On the way home, we stopped at, you guessed it, Chick-Fil-A. I got the Spicy Chicken Deluxe with pepper jack cheese. Dee-licious. The fact that they support opposite-sex marriage is just icing on the cake!

He wants the meat.

And potatoes.

They support opposite-sex-marraige and same-sex marriage equally now. At least with their corporate dollars.
