Spicy chicken sandwich with buffalo sauce, waffle fries, and an Arnold Palmer.

I live in a food desert. The last time I stocked up at a supermarket was back in September. Would cost me an hour to visit that hamburger joint (assuming they still sell them) and the nearest chicken place is a 3 hour round trip. Ain't nobody around here got time to trade a weeks worth of food for one meal.

Chick-fil-a for the win. The service is always excellent. They also have a good sausage burrito.

I'd have to agree with that, the service and caliber of people far outweighs the nasty-ass people that work at the McD's place. For that reason alone, I avoid the bazillion's sold place.

We have a vendor that brings in the chicken minis.... they're a big hit in the office!

Actually had a salad from there last night!

Chick-fil-A is ok...nothing really spectacular but then no fast food really is. I'm not a fan of any business bringing politics into the forefront of their operation however. Just rubs me the wrong way.

Most people think Popeyes chicken is better that Chick-fil-A.

Popeyes is an American multinational chain of fried chicken fast food restaurants that was founded in 1972 in New Orleans, Louisiana and headquartered in Miami, Florida.

BUT

Popeyes chicken is definitely unhealthy

One of Popeyes' new and insanely popular sandwiches comes with a shocking 690 calories, 42 grams of fat, and 1,443 mg of sodium. ... It's made even worse when you compare that to Chick-fil-A's chicken sandwich, which comes with 440 calories, 19 grams of fat, and 1,350 mg of sodium

1. Popeyes has flavor. Chik-fil-A not so much.
2. People who eat at fast food places don't give a shit about calories, fat, or sodium.

Don't you have a politics forum to troll?

If you are black, the CEO of Chick Fil A will shine your shoes. You won't get that at McDonald's.
