Have pretty much given up fast food entirely. But Wendy’s spicy chicken was my weakness. Didn’t like Chick-fil-A’s. But their frozen lemonade was really good.

Nice to see the free market turning businesses around on bigotry rather than the government though. Pride is awash in corporate sponsors these days.

Chick Fil A is family run and they can give money to which ever registeed charities they wish as far as I am concerned.

There are also some good smaller US chains in the UK such as Eggslut, RedFarm, Sweet Chick, Slapfish, By Chloe etc etc.

American dreamers - Big Hospitality

US fast casual seafood restaurant chain Slapfish opens in Camden - Big Hospitality

Eggslut is eyeing 10 locations across the UK in the coming years - Big Hospitality

I have a hard time believing a place named Eggslut is going to make it in the franchise world.

Eggslut is actually quite good, although I don't think they want to expand that to a big franchise, they are happy with a bit of exclusivity.

Seth Rogen is a big fan of the chain, which started as an LA Food truck.

I enjoy Chick-fil-A and have not boycotted them, but it will be good knowing that in the future my money spent there will not be going to promote hate. I hope that good organizations like the Salvation Army will take a hard look at themselves and their beliefs. There is no room for bigotry in true Christianity.

Finally, I can try this chick thing that everyone seem to be raving about.

Chic-Fil-A is going to find out the hard way that you don't apologize to the left, and you certainly don't cave to them. Now they've signaled that they're "soft" and greater demands will be made on them.

Whine moan, complain. Get over it.

SEriously -- you don't know much about folks who like Chick Fil A......they won't give up their Chick Fil A --- even with a change in Chick FIl A's community donations.

Ask Yeti how they have been doing after their decision....lololol.
