Chick-fil-a? meh... In-N-Out Burger? Now there's something worth waiting in line for.

Line-camping for a new fast food restaurant? Well thanks, this makes my life seem more interesting!

Pretty sure the first 100 people get free Chik-Fil-A for a year. Don't quote me on that.

Typically, if you're one of the first 50 or 100 customers, you get coupons for free sandwiches for a year. My niece and her family have done it several times, and now have enough free Chik-Fil-A coupons to feed a small army.

And those wheels must weigh a quarter of what the rest of the Miata does.

While I've had Chic-fil-a stores around for much of my life (have no recollection of them in GA, but they were in PA when we moved here in 1980), I can 100%-bet-on-my-life-guaranTEE you I will not be camping out or waiting in traffic for an In-N-Out burger.

If I'd known this I'd have been buying all my OEM stuff from you! Honda doesn't let us stock them. They have to be ordered in by VIN. no "same day service" here.

They are supposed to open three restaurants here sometime soon. Unfortunately they will probably be met with protests from gay-rights groups. While I support gay rights I love me some Chick fil A. Not only that but their char-grilled sandwiches are fairly healthy (at least less unhealthy) compared to most fast-food sandwiches.

I mean, it's pretty good, but I really don't see what all the fuss is about.

I don't see why there would be any protests, they stopped donating to the anti-gay-marriage groups:

I quoted you.

Pretty sure you're right, or close to it. The last grand opening of a Chik-Fil-A I was around they did something like that, food for a year, or $100 worth, or something for the first 100 (or some number) of folks through the door. College town, so their parking lot was full of kids camping in line.

They still do free food to something like every 100th person through their drive through daily.

I don't think it's all that great, but I don't hate it. I'd eat there before KFC, Zaxby's, or Church's, sometimes would pick it over Popeye's but Popeye's biscuits normally win that internal "which fast food chicken place do I want to eat at" debate, when it comes up.

I've found the lines for Chick-Fil-A are much shorter on Sundays.

But honestly, my wife made such a big deal out of Chik-Fil-A and I wasn't wowed by it. Good, but nothing to write home about.
