Tried something called "Chick-Fil-A" for the first time last night. I was not disappointed π
Discussion
What was your order
I had a deluxe Chick-Fil-A sandwich with waffle fries and an unsweetened ice tea. Was nice π
One of the best things going.
We don't have these in the Empire. Might look into a franchising agreement for some of our inner star-systems π
π
I have questions π
Ask me anything Mike π
Googling now.
Looks like KFC but with waffle fries.
How does it compare?
How *dare* you approximate KFC with Chick-fil-A! Blasphemer!
Oh shit, what have I done now π³
All you need now is to insult Krispy Kreme or Waffle House and it will be considered a full blown declaration of war against the American South. But don't worry, we don't have a great track record on wars π
I like Krispy Kreme, we have it in the UK.
Iβve never been to a Waffle House in the U.S., but I like the architecture of the buildings π
They're better than tanks! Can withstand the worst hurricanes!
WH is our home away from home. It isnβt a publicly traded stock or else we would have bought shares by now. Bert, who is author of the chili recipe, buys our Gallberry by the box full. He is a lovely man. I agree about the architecture, reminds me of mid-century modern diners and the old Krystals.
I have been to neither Krispy Kreme nor Waffle House... Yet π
Krispy Kreme is great, go when the hot light is on for maximum freshness. Waffle House... Think of it more as a meal and entertainment. It's satisfying greasy comfort food with live boxing if you're lucky!
Donβt forget Dukeβs Mayonnaise and sweet tea
Those are the two things that could actually get my Southern card revoked
He specifically got unsweetened tea but I was leaving it to someone else to take that battle. Unsweetened tea at Chick-fil-A pfffffttttt
CFA unsweet tea is delicious though 𧑠I never get sweet tea anywhere, so I can tell you their unsweet stands out as one of the best around. I know of only one restaurant with a comparably good iced unsweet black tea, and itβs a local BBQ place in northern Virginia, not a chain.
Oh now I'm just curious what's the spot in NoVa? I used to live there.
Rocklands BBQ in Arlington π₯° obsessed with that place. They have such good tea and the cucumber salad is so good I copycatted it and make it at home regularly. And of course, delicious meat and sauces.
Omg I love that place ππ₯° siiiigh I gotta get back home. I've been roving for dang near a decade and only in the past couple of months I've gotten so home sick.
I hope you get the chance to swing by!
If you do so on the second Saturday of the month (usually) then our local Bitcoin group nostr:npub1mcke7stw5mrqp97lmdu0qdrfcz2uertdsy2n9pzvfnsdutx3hvkq7d5mnw meets at Compass Coffee!
Or lmk if you would like to get some barbecue π
Maybe someday! I'm still out west in the high desert. I am totally over cosplaying cowboy and ready to resume my DCist life just need to wrangle logistics to get back home π
I haven't eaten any Knights of Columbus yet but perhaps I will try one to make the comparison π
Cannot recommend.
Interesting π€
I make a mean MFC
Mikey Fried Chicken.
I donβt have a drive through option, but my prices are more reasonable.
Pop by some time π«
I'm down for whatever you're cooking Mike π
Mushroom Risotto tonight π
I am told that these "mushrooms" have certain hallucinogenic properties -- I didn't know you were such a fun guy π
I heard theyβre closer to animals than plants
I shit you not.
Klingon Fried Chiken
** Writes in Notebook in Klingon **
But on a chicken theme, I made Chicken Mikey-Mikey a couple of weeks ago
Regardless of how it looks, Chick fil a has a unique (delicious) flavor, and I have never found anything similar.
Definitely unique. Would have again π
The unique flavor comes from brining the chicken in dill pickle juice for 24 hours.
That and the msg.
I found a copycat recipe to make it from home. It was better than the real deal without the addictive chemicals.
Addictive .... chemicals?? π
Oh yeah... full of them....soy too... lol

I AM CRUSHED π
Any human fastfood is full of shit that will fatten you up and put you in an early grave. Avoid at all costs.
Let me know if you miss it too much. I will type up my copycat recipe that i found years ago. So it won't be missed. It really is better homemade.
KFC is discount shitty expired catfood in terms of quality and flavor in comparison.
I should add: I literally felt all the evil leaving my body this morning π
Did you go inside? It's like an American fast food alternate reality. The service is exceedingly friendly. It's clean and the atmosphere isn't depressing. They don't screw up your order.
Yes, I thought for a moment I had been through the time portal again. The workers appeared to be happy to be there as well which made for an improved experience π
It's so good omg π€€
Leftists used to hate them as much as they hate Tesla now because they don't support pride and close on sundays.
Hmmmm interesting. It's hard keeping track of who we are supposed to hate month to month π
