Quote History Quoted:It's fried chicken breast (and not an awesome example of it, to be honest) slapped between two mega-mart grades of mediocre hamburger bun. I really, really, really don't understand the appeal. Oh, and it's salty as hell. It's waaaay over seasoned. I don't hate it (it's fast food and I get it), but people need to slow their roll a bit, when talking about it. I'm convinced it has little to do with the actual food, and more to do with identity politics. There has to be a reason that my leftie friends can't stand the place, and my conservative friends won't stop raving about it. That's a big 'ol clue right there. I can't think of a biomedical pathway for politics that alters the five senses of taste, know what I mean?

Look at that sad thing. Honestly. It has to be one of the most overrated fast food joints in the country. The service is over the top fantastic (I'll give them that), but it really is a mediocre fucking sandwich. I think when most people think of a "chicken sandwich" they still think of the processed pressed chicken sandwich that they used to get in the high school cafeteria. When you think of it that way, a chicken sandwich that consists of chicken that still resembles an actual chicken breast and tastes halfway decent, you might start to understand the attraction. I don't think it's the best thing in the world, but in the realm of fast food, Chick-fil-a is no slouch.

When compared to Popeye's, KFC, or other chicken sandwiches from other fast food joints, Chic-fil-a is far better. Having said that, no one makes fried chicken better than my redneck mother. Wendy's grilled chicken is fairly decent.
