After all this good talk about Chic Fil A from Hippo and 6'5 ... I just went to pick me up some :facepalm:
Anybody seen a chick-fil-a today?
- Thread starter MadJack
- Start date
Did it smell good outside from yesterdays cooking, cause not sure you walked away with sandwiches today, bro. I guess that is why the facepalm.
Can't say I blame you, hoss. Dog shit sounds more appetizing and digestible than most of that ingredient list.
:facepalm:
I'd love to eat some of those delicious dishes I see you writing about sometime too!
Call me anytime you're in my area, and we will eat well my man. Thing is, UGA12 is mucher closer to you, and the man obviously has it going on in the kitchen.

LA Times had recent good article, some excerpts:
"We continue to be fascinated by the partisan differences in consumer purchasing behavior. Democrats, for example, have fallen in love with Subaru ? it's the new Volvo. Americans who drink diet soda ? especially Diet Dr. Pepper ? are more likely to vote and to be Republicans than Americans who drink sugared beverages. Republicans prefer dark liquors, while reform-minded Democrats prefer the transparency of vodka and rum.
And it turns out that when it comes to fast food, Republicans love their Chick-fil-A restaurants. Democrats are more likely to head to Popeyes and Church's, open seven days a week. As the bubble chart shows, Chick-fil-A customers are very, very Republican.
Need a cautionary tale? Think about the Dixie Chicks,who in 2003 dared to criticize President Bush in wartime during an overseas gig. Their top-10 single disappeared in days from the top of the charts, conservative country radio stations banned them, and the American Red Cross broke off a marketing relationship. Liberals rightly protested, but they weren't the Dixie Chicks' fan base, so that didn't help much with album sales or concert tickets.
On the other hand, Chick-fil-A got lucky. The people it alienated weren't its loyal customers."
as a preface, I would add that this chart below looks tilted toward Repubican overall. My guess is because most "progressive" and "socially conscious" Democrats avoid chain corporate food overall, and as Democrats are concentrated in big cities, they have much more close-by dining options than fast food chains. The large Democratic attendance at Popeye's and Church's partly reflect the ubiquity of these franchises in black parts of cities.
Each bubble in this chart represents an American chain restaurant (or in one case, a store). The relative bubble sizes are based on the percentage of American adults surveyed by Scarborough Research who reported patronizing a particular outlet in the previous 30 days (except the Whole Foods bubble, which is based on reporting of the previous seven days' consumption). About 42% of respondents, for example, reported going to McDonald's, while just 2% reported going to Hooters. About 11% said they'd eaten at Chick-fil-A.
The bubbles were placed on the chart according to what those surveyed reported to be their political leanings and their likelihood of voting. Thus, a chain with a clientele that is heavily Republican and likely to vote would be placed in the upper right, whereas a chain whose clientele skewed Democratic and unlikely to vote would end up on the lower left. So what can we glean? Chick-fil-A's customers are among the most Republican in the country, but they're less likely to vote than Cracker Barrel diners. Well-to-do urban Democrats are buying takeout and groceries at Whole Foods, and they vote.
Socioeconomic status, urbanism and regional geography shape the partisanship and voting behavior of restaurant customers. High-turnout voters of both parties are more likely to be found at sit-down chains, where they can afford the higher tabs.

What a bunch of horse shit. :facepalm:
:lol:
Check out how polar opposite Cracker Barrel and Church's Chicken are. :mj07: Instead of wife swap they should do restaurant swap. Transfer some of the folk from the chicken joint and drop them in a Cracker Barrel In rural Tennessee. It would make for good tv.
Ya love charts and graphs of such relevant and closely correlated data! Here's one that's no HorseS, eh?!

The Smoking Gun says that this video below isn't a parody, it is 100% real. The dude burning the cereal (Michael Leisner) posts lots of anti-gay and anti-Obama stuff on YouTube.
