"I start my day at the Union Station food court in Washington, D.C. I had an event here for my new book. I decide Chick-fil-A will be the funniest choice to start off this Grub Street Diet. I don’t remember if I’m allowed to eat Chick-fil-A, but I ate at a José Andrés restaurant the night before and he’s been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, so I figure these two meals will cancel each other out ethically. It will be my first Chick-fil-A experience ever. I do not want fried chicken for breakfast, but since I’m popping my Chick-fil-A cherry, I order the chicken biscuit anyway. The bad news? Chick-fil-A is pretty good." - Emma Alpern, Adam Mazur
