Oh Chick-Fil-A, We Adore Thee

I’m kind of ashamed to admit this, but I have been addicted to Chick-Fil-A for over two years now. At first I was like, “What’s the deal with this place? Why are they closed on Sunday? Why are they always so happy?!”

There are certain places associated with certain groups of people. When I hung out with partiers and drinkers, the place of choice was usually Denny’s or Steak n’ Shake… anything that was open 24 hours a day. Since I’ve been a Christian, I realize that the main restaurant of choice is Chick-Fil-A. I would even go as far as to say that Chick-Fil-A is God’s gift to fast food!

What’s my favorite meal at Chick-Fil-A? A chicken sandwich, no pickles, with lettuce and tomato. Thanks to Johnny, I now put Chick-Fil-A sauce on the sandwich which gives it a little bit more awesomeness. And thanks to a trick I learned from my friend Katina back in middle school, I mix ketchup and mayo to dip my waffle fries in… my friends, it is glorious. Top that off with some sweet tea and I’m happy.

It’s funny, every Monday our middle school pastor Tim always gets us guys together and we have lunch. My vote is almost always for Chick-Fil-A. Occasionally Noah will get his way and we’ll eat at McDonald’s or Wendy’s… but I scoff at such places. I don’t know what it is, I ate enough McDonald’s and Wendy’s in high school and it just doesn’t appeal to me anymore (except for the occasional Frosty).

Perhaps the things I like most about Chick-Fil-A are: family-friendliness (even though it’s packed with kids, I can deal with that), great staff, clean restaurant, and good food. I will insert one caveat here. I don’t know what it is, but the mall locations don’t seem to have the same standards… but I’m willing to deal with that.

By now most of you are thinking, “Kiel, did you really write a post about Chick-Fil-A?” Yes I did, that just happened. I mostly did it because I wanted to share this funny little music video. So enjoy and remember to “eat mor chikn.”
