I have waited one week to let things cool off before writing, so this is a considered and heavily watered down account of the burning of Babylon by Chic-fil-A
Read the news about Popeye's sandwich war with Chic-fil-A.
Usually I don't use it, but on a shopping trip my curiosity drags me in to see what all the fuss is about.
First off when I go in there is a short Que, but as soon as I approach the line, a string of teenagers leaps before me, emerging from the back of the store, some dark corner where such ghouls thrive.
Next as I wait, on the very corner seats by the door an employee is having her break, and opposite her a teenager wearing what I call a 'tea cosy' - a woolen cover for a hot tea pot - on his head, and while glaring at the Que is making remarks about us. When his demented stare got to me I respond in kind. This twerp is making fun of, and laughing with his comrade - the CF worker mentioned above - at us in the Que.
TBH I did not like any of that. After all one does not expect a mockery gallery to be inside the door of such places, and if so I would never ever have gone in there in the first place.
Yet not deterred from my plan to find out what Cf offered to combat PoP: s I persist. Eventually I get to the counter asking for whatever they are offering as a competitor sandwich to PoP:s. It takes a while to get the poor person on board with my needs, but in the end comes up with a solution.
TBF I did not have to wait too long, so about five minutes later a server brings my 'take-out'..
And folks, really I have to share that their offering is no contest for PoP:s, no matter what that happens to be. Because even though their bun is very nice, fresh and nicely prepared, they DROWN the chicken in Chili flavoring. I say flavoring because I could neither see nor sense any sauce.
So I will not be going back again for anything, not only because of the dimwit idiot wearing a tea pot warmer on his head, but also because I absolutely hate food smothered in Chili flavoring.
Chic-fil-A ... Caveat Emptor....
On my way home I go into HEB and buy, for one dollar, a Chicken Sandwich. They are in the frozen section of the store. When home I prepare some lettuce and a slice of tomato. Just one minute in the MW oven, plus one more to let it cool off, my lunch is ready for dressing up. So with some good ole Texas mustard laced on the bun, lettuce on top, more mustard then chicken on top, then more mustard with a slice of tomato on top, next more mustard and the bun top over, I have a perfect Chicken sandwich.
Heaven!
BTW Chic Filet charged me nearly five dollars for the burning of Bablyon!
