One of Our Favs

It's true. Chick-fil-a is very near and dear to our hearts. It is our restaurant of choice when it comes to a quick, yummy, fast lunch , together.

It is clean, the service is above and beyond. They constantly refresh your beverage and when your little one gets hurt they bring out stickers and ice cream cones. They have disposable plastic place mats and sanitizer wipes for germs. The play place smells of disinfectant which immediately puts my fear of swine flu and other diseases at ease allowing me to just enjoy the delicious salads and chicken sandwiches. They offer little cups of Cheerios for their future customers and each table has fresh cut flowers for you to enjoy. I could go on...and on.

One particular lunchtime, the manager came out and asked if our family would like a tour of how it all goes down in the back. Boy howdy, would I ever! It goes along perfectly with my fetish of factories and my favorite TV show on Food Network, Unwrapped.

The tour exceeded all my expectations. "Backstage passes." The boys found several hidden cows along the way, we got to say hola to the nicest Spanish crew in the back, see how they make secret recipes for their chicken, taste the best lemonade (Sunkist supplies Chick-fil-a with the most lemons out of any other place in the world- who knew?) which only has 3 ingredients: water, lemons and sugar. We learned all about what it takes to keep the drive through going so efficiently and watched them in action during a busy lunch rush. The boys LOVED ending the tour making their own ice cream cones.

Oh we will be back...lots.
