I remember that news story about the guy who broke out of jail to get a Popeyes chicken sandwich. When he got arrested again he said it was worth it.😂😂😂

I worked in restaurants for many years. Closing one day per week is a good policy for many reasons, though very few restaurants do it.
The "off day" is a good day to do minor renovations, deep cleaning, and other projects. Good for employee health, too.

You know your life has ceased to have meaning when you file a lawsuit against a restaurant chain for running out of a product.

America’s love for chicken runs deep when it takes almost 45 minutes to explain 😂😂

I remember nearly 15 years ago the only chicken sandwich I could buy was Carl’s Jr., Wendy’s, and McDonald’s crispy chicken sandwich which was so basic while the beef burgers came in a ton of varieties. Now everyone wants a premium chicken sandwich

Nothing like $5 rotisserie chicken that could feed an entire family.

Chicken is the most accessible and deliciously tasty. So the obsession for chicken is not only US but all over the world.

It’s because a chicken patty has more meat than a smash burger. Give people protein and they’ll be more satisfied with the meal and be more likely to come back

I still find Chickfila's sandwich the best and their drivethrus are so efficient. They have a very good product plus consistent excellent customer service.

Ironically enough, but only casualty in a Chicken Sandwich Wars is and always will be a chicken 🐓!

Beef is stupidly expensive (really gotten absurd). Pork is still expensive (ever order bacon in a restaurant?). Chicken is cheap and versatile. It's not rocket science.

“Breast meat is typically more expensive than wings”. Maybe this was true 10 years ago but obviously this person hasn’t been to a grocery store lately.

I think it’s the quality, service, and efficiency that really sets chic-fil-a apart. The food is always hot and seemingly fresh, the drive thru is very efficient, and the employees are friendly and pleasant. Those fries are also something special!!

Zaxby’s needs to run their staff through Chick-fil-A operations training. Their food is good but very expensive and they almost always eff up your order for $12-$14.

It is so funny, of customers eat more chicken because they think that it is more healthier than regular meat. It is simple.
If you make turkey sandwich, customers will buy it because it is even more healthier than chicken

Im shocked that Chic-fil-a is so much higher than Popeyes. Especially here in the Northeast Chic-fil-a has a very limited precense on the market compared to popeyes. Like I only have to drive 30 mins for a popeyes but over 3 hours to access a Chic-fil-a
