Marko relates about finally having a Chick-fil-a after a long drought.
Alan and Jay chime in on not getting it. Me too. Now I won’t be an asshole and say their food sucks, Chick-fil-a makes a DAMN tasty chicken sandwich. A vastly superior sammich to say Wendy’s or KFC…but that’s the league you need to compare them to.
The wife went to school in NC, and when we make visits hitting up a Chick-fil-a is a must, but its the same reason why I like to go to Waffle House when I’m south of the Mason Dixon, or get a sammich and gas at a Wa-Wa, its fun to eat at chains that aren’t nation-wide. But let’s face it, if you want a chicken-tit on a biscuit with a slab of cheese and a pickle, I’m sure just about every diner south of the Mason-Dixon makes one BETTER than Chick-fil-a, and that’s not me insulting their sammiches!
Oh on a similar vein, we once drove 40 mins out of our way on a Road trip in New Jersey to grab lunch in a White Castle….that was a HUGE mistake!
Dude, you totally know you want to come home to NC. There will be new laws, and the chicken biscuits are better.
Don’t you worry, I’ll be down your way some time in the near future and I promise to do my best to get together for some chicken biscuits!
But you get those at Bo’Jangles, not Chik-Fil-A! 😉 I’m not partial to the latter, but that might be because it was there I first tried Sweet Tea. It took me an hour to chip all the sugar crystals off my trachea . . .
I rather like sweet tea on a special occasion. But I prefer strong tea with no sweetener as my day-to-day hydration, and that I make myself.
Also be careful, trachea is ze windpipe, and not for beverages! 😉
I know! Which is why, after choking on it, the crystals forming were so dangerous!!
There ought to be a LAW! Will somebody think of the CHILDREN!!!111!!! 😉
Better get used to sweet tea, Lissa. It’s everywhere in the South.
Excepting that one instance, I managed to avoid it during my four years in North Carolina; surely Florida will be less dangerous!
Acidman said you could mark when you entered The South by the server asking “Sweet or Unsweet” instead of “Hot or Iced” when you ordered tea.
Yep. I’ve used that as “The Line” a few times, myself.
That, or people looking at me when I talk. “What, y’all ain’t never he’rd no-body talk like ‘is?” (chuckle)
and it’s delicious!
Totally with you on the White Castle thing, Weer’d (of course, I was with you on that trip). I’ve had better burgers and fries at carnivals.
Man, talking about that made me miss Ray’s Hell Burger, and the haze of meaty goodness it left hanging around the old neighborhood…
That place sucked, I occationally cut out coupons for the frozen whitecastle burgers just to piss off the wife. 😉
Bummer I didn’t go to Ray’s when I was down there….but I got to eat scrapple! mmmmmm
Scrapple…all the pork parts that *don’t* get made into Hot Dogs…
Scrapple is the most disgusting amalgamation of pork parts that I’ve ever tasted…
And yes, I lived in the Philly area (Cherry hill, South Jersey) for almost 30 years, so I know what Scrapple is. There’s a reason that Flyers fans are batsh*t crazy…its the Scrapple. 😉
I learned about Scrapple shipping out on Scallopers out of Cape May. Stuff is totally nasty, but hawt DAMN is it DELICIOUS browned up on a skillet and served with some eggs and liberally splattered with Tabasco!
My Motto is “Why do they call that offals if they’re so good?”
Sweet tea is great a bojangles, but I gotta say I disagree about Chik-Fil-A … awesome chicken!
I didn’t say it wasn’t awesome, was just saying its still chain fast-food. Albeit exemplary fast food.
Counterpoint: you’re wrong.
I’m in AR, and I thought about all the local [read: not part of a chain] eateries that serve breakfast [I can count them on one hand].
Not one of them has a chicken biscuit.
You want one of those, you go to Burger King, Chick-fil-a, or McDonalds.
Really? That’s strange. Just about every real-deal burger joint around here that fries chickens will make you a fried chicken sandwich on a bun like most of the fast-food places attempt to make. But us Yanks don’t do biscuits very well, compared to you rebs, but if we did I’m sure we’d toss some chicken on it.
We also don’t fry chicken very well either, but we make a decent go of it.
White Kastles: It’s an addiction, like any other.
Do you think someone snorts cocaine for the pleasant smell?
I can quit anytime I want. I just don’t wanna. Yes. That’s it.
I’ll be at Krystal getting the methadone of White Kastle addiction if you need me.
That got a LOL!
I’m gonna start saying “Do you think someone snorts cocaine for the pleasant smell?” all the fucking time!
