Randumb brain droppings: Chick-Fil-A

BAH!
...I keep reading on other blogs the name of Chick-Fil-A brought up a lot...despite having only heard of the place in the past year (due to the blogs, natch), I had to look it up to see what I was missing (or not missing, it's kinda hit and miss for me when it comes to fast food chains and all).  Here's what I found on the World Wide Web's Most Trusted Source Of Knowledge (otherwise known as "Wikipedia"):

Chick-fil-A (pronounced /ˌtʃɪkfɨˈleɪ/) is a restaurant chain headquartered in College Park, Georgia, United States that specializes in chickenentrées.[1][2] It is the second-largest chicken-based fast-food chain in the United States.[3] The chain is associated with the southern United States, but it has in recent years[when?] been expanding further across the nation (see map below). As of July 2006, the chain has over 1,300 locations in 37 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. It is distinct among fast-food chains in that all of its stores are closed on Sundays.

...and yes, I kept in the links to the other WIki entries...I suck like that, I know...anyhoo, it was kind of a lengthy entry (can be found here if you're interested in reading the entire thing), but here are some points of interest I've gleaned from the whole ordeal:  1) it was started by a Southern Baptist, and is involved in various Christian and local charities, 2) it's closed on Sundays, which makes it hard for Church goers to patronize the place after a morning of church services (good for them; we Christians tend to be the worst when it comes to treating wait staff on Sundays, I'm ashamed to say), 3) okay, I couldn't think of a third one to stick in there.  Needless to say, the place keeps getting mentioned.  And like the Spangles restaurant in Kansas that I keep vowing to one day stop in and try, just because, I might have to try out this so-called Chick-Fil-A just to see what the hub-bub is about...

...and according to the restaurant locator at the official website, there's one in Omaha, NE (at 33rd & Dodge Street), so it's very much doable.  Problem is, I'm a Popeye's Chicken fanatic through-and-through.  Will the Chick-Fil-A dethrone Popeye's as Uncle NecRo's chief supplier of his much-needed (yet infrequent) chicken fixes?  Doubtful.  Either way, this should be interesting...
