Fast Food...

I was wondering how wide spread Chic-Fil-A was? Or maybe it doesn't go real far.. i have no idea. For those that odn't know what it is it is a fast food chicken restauraunt that is always closed on sundays. The creator is a very religious person, and actually follows the old not open on sunday tradition. Anyways i love their food, its fast and good, and i was just wondering where areound the US it was?

I think Chic-Fil-A is more or less in the South East region.

Something like Jack in The Box has dominated the South West.


I see both of them are spreading though, at least jack in the box is. They started opening resturaunts in the North Carolina area a couple years ago.

they are here in coloado, they are owned by the moron, i mean mormon, church, that is why they are closed on sunday. pretty good food, they also serve caffeinated soft drinks(which to the mormon church is forbidden) so as long as they can make money on it, but not do it, it's ok right?

The ones out west maybe owned by the Mormons however, Chik-Fil-A is just another southern tradition (from Georgia) that the rest of the world just enjoys. Read the "History" in the link above.

I love Chik-Fil-A! I don't know how they figured out that all a chicken sandwich needs is pickles, but they hit it right on target. That is all I ever get on my chicken sandwiches now, no matter where I order them. Me personally I think it is sort of a pain not being able to eat there on Sunday, since that is one day I'm not working and can actually have time to eat out, but I do respect the owners for standing by their convictions.
Did you ever notice why their chicken is so good and juicy? They don't have regular fryers- they are combination fryers and pressure cookers. I guess frying under high pressure somehow breaks down the meat and makes it a lot more tender. Yumm!
