I really never understood the furor for the mediocre fast food chicken.
They marinate the chicken in Christian nationalism.
I could dip chicken in shit at home and save the money.
That probably wouldn't taste very good.
I will say, Chick-fil-A is incredibly well run as a business. Compared to other fast food, they have steadfastly maintained quality while keeping prices reasonable, service fast, and their restaurants are always clean and well staffed. This should be a bare minimum, but unfortunately this is not true of pretty much any other fast food place, where quality is dropping rapidly, service is extremely slow, and restaurants are routinely staffed by like two teenagers with no adult supervision and social skills that suggest they have never been outside before. That said, I really don't understand why there is always a giant line at them and why some people are just completely obsessed with them unless the whole point is the homophobia and the fact that they're the one fast food place that isn't "woke."
I've been decently satisfied with Culver's the once-in-a-quarter time I decide to have some fast food. Even if that is the case, I think we need less fast food overall, not better-served processed crap.
