New Orleans, Land of Popeyes Loyalists, Is Getting 3 New Chick-fil-A’s | Eater New Orleans

"I read a letter to the Mid‑City Neighborhood Organization outlining plans to demolish the existing building at 4068 Tulane Avenue—currently home to Sidney Torres’s NOLA Chick drive‑thru that quietly opened in early 2021 (the site had previously been a Burger King that closed in Summer 2020)—and build a new 2,600‑square‑foot Chick‑fil‑A set further back from the street; the proposal calls for a drive‑thru‑only restaurant with two drive‑thru lanes, patio seating for 16, no inside dining, and what the company describes as a newer model serving vehicles and pedestrians along the Tulane and Carrollton corridors, a plan whose association with Torres and the chain’s history of supporting anti‑LGBTQ causes has raised eyebrows locally." - Clair Lorell
