They just opened a chick-fil-a here in Berwyn or north riverside. Whatever it's on Harlem and cermack. But people were camped out there the night before. So I figure it has to be good...or Jesus is making an appearance

i went to that one last weekend. it was a clusterfuck because I think they had corporate employees there training all the newbs. there were more employees than dine in customers. place was busy though. they jacked up my order (obviously a chaos issue with a new store) but made up for it by giving our original order on top of what we had, plus free ice cream and another couple sandwiches to go.

I hesitated to tell this story earlier because I feel like people take advantage of this kind of shit, but whatevs. It's not like it's my bible belt chicken chain or anything...

I can't say it enough doe, go to a Mcdonalds and get treated like shit for ordering bullshit food that will probably be inferior to their own standards, then go to a Chick fil A and note the difference. It's substantial.

I wish I had access to the training/hypnotism/pills they have for their employees. It's like that at every store I've visited. It's like they realize that they don't have a paycheck without your satisfaction. I'm going to start sending my shitty employees to Chik fil A to get a lesson on customer service.

There was a good 3-4 year period when Browns was doing bad, and they didn't even advertise on TV. I used to troll my girl and sing "Bob Evans, it tastes better!". After about 4 or 5 trips to Bob Evans, she stopped me and said, "Wait, that isn't right." LMAO

Never had Chick-Fil-A though. Been meaning to check it out, but every time I have a taste for fast-food chicken, I go to Chick-N-Spice in Joliet. Brett, have you tried Chick-N-Spice?

No, it's in downtown. Totally run down area near the JJC art campus. Since I moved out this way, everyone kept telling me to try it, then last year I finally did. Usually I expect a chicken place to just be a chicken place, and I also expect it to be simply over-hyped, but wow, this place really lived up to the hype. I brought some to other people too, and everyone reacts the same way. They are like, oh a chicken place, big deal. Then they try it and get hooked.

Good deal. Was just more curious on opinions than anything else. But if you wind up liking it, awesome.

If it's fried chicken it has to be Popeye's spicy. Their biscuits are wicked too.

I actually have to say the best chicken sandwiches I have had are from Hardees believe it or not. Hardess also has some of the best biscuits I have ever eaten as well. Popeyes is good for sure. Best Fried Chicken I get is from our Jewel Osco, Stolfas is also good !

Speaking of chicken. I want to go to a greasy spoon restaurant in the south and get a big dinner of home made fried chicken and waffles. That sounds like it's straight from heaven.

Chicken and waffles are the breakfast of gods
