Right you are; and this one is so easy! Just make a little more effort to go buy some nice chicken sandwiches, or order a gift card online for family who live near a C-F-A. Painless and delicious.
They also have great salads, including chicken salad, whole wheat bread if you want it, fruit salads, nice desserts, those fabulous waffle fries and milkshakes with whipped cream. They are promoting peach shakes now in the summer.
Also, they sell excellent iced sweet tea or unsweetened iced tea either in beverage cups or in gallon jugs -- why buy Arizona or Turkey Hill when you can support the institution of natural marriage?
Good point about the iced tea — it’s always good at CFA. Iced tea is a prime indicator of a restaurant’s quality. I used to wait tables and know what a pain it is to keep the tea urns propertly cleaned. It has to be done often and it has to be done right. Otherwise the tea will have an off wang to it. It’s one of those things that management has to stay on top of. So if the iced tea tastes good, it means it’s probably a well managed establishment, and most likely lots of other little details in the preparation of your food — things that you’re not aware of that have to do with cleanliness and quality — are being attended to.
