Then please lemme tell ya.....the 'chicken strips' are the juciest, tenderest, mouth watering item that they produce. And only $ 3.00 for three of 'em....that's here in Tuscaloosa.

Just try 'em!

And I am gonna try the nuggets...never have ordered them.

So I drove by the new Chick-Fil-A site in Walnut Creek on North Main recently and it's coming along quite well, the building shell is up. I read that they are scheduled to open Septemeber 20th! So just two months away. Also saw one in SJ is going to open soon too.

Also saw Sprouts (Henry's Marketplace) has the sign on their new store right by the WC Bev-Mo, so that should be opening any day now. This place is pretty good, a little better than Trader Joe's as they have a much better meat, seafood, deli, and produce sections.

Woohoo! Now I'll be doing all of my shopping in Walnut Creek. On Saturdays so I can get some chickfila.

Well it's located in the parking lot of the new 24-Hour Fitness if you feel guilty and want to some of it off. Not calling it healthy but Men's Health did rate it the Healthiest Fast Food out there.

Despite the company President view's, stores are franchises and individually owned and operated. In-N-Out has bible verses references on their cups and burger wraps and is Christian owned, doesn't seem to bother anyone.

It bothers me, and others that I know. I avoid In-N-Out as I will avoid Chick-fil-a too. For me, even though I really like their food, I can't support the ownership when they are against my best interests. If they were neutral, I could live with that. But pasting ridiculous religious verses on their packaging and making public statements against certain groups of people that have no ability to change who they are isnt being neutral and is too much for me.

Looks like a bad move....I bet they will be boycotted in our gay-friendly state with their stance.

Another one to watch out for. Is Cracker Barrow old time country stores. They have a record dating back to the 1990s. Through they claim to have corrected there bad behavior.
