Get some good southern cooking in those libs up there....maybe that’ll help square them away.

Let’s not get carried away.
Dropping a chicken breast into a deep frier does not southern food make. Yummy, yes, southern, not so much.
I agree! The only downside is that Connecticut is already host to a lot of overweight, shapeless, doughy people. I'd hate to give them Chick-Fil-A's irresistibly delicious food - they'll just pack on more pounds. Connecticut has a history of being associated with fat people:
SOUTH NORWALK, Conn., Sept. 11 [1907]. — The Fat Men's association of Connecticut held its forty-first annual outing and eatrest this afternoon at Dorlon's point, on Long Island sound. Mother earth groaned and there were creaks and shakes like unto the approach of an earthquake as the kings of avoirdupois gathered from far and near.Trucks, stone boats and automobiles were used in getting the visitors from the railroad station to the Point. No livery rig In the city was procurable. The dealers have learned the consequences from experience.
Some of the new recruits to the association are outstripping tho older ones by about twenty-live pounds per year. Many of the older ones, such as President Patrick H. Murphy of Westport, D. S. Trobridgo of Hartford, A. H. Dillon of Bridgewater and Jacob Schaub of South Norwalk are losing at the same rate, and big, warm tears would drop upon their bosoms during the conquest of food yesterday as they realized that they now took up only three chairs at tho table, when time was that they took up four.
D. S. Wadsworth of Hartford, with his 4?6 pounds, is still the jumbo of the boys. The hotel steps were declared unsafe for him to tread upon and he was led in the horse driveway and up the concrete walk. A three-inch plank was put across three chairs for him to sit at the table.
William P. Hurlburt of Westport, who tips the beam at 407, had to bring a special fork two feet long to reach over his mighty chest to his mouth.
President Murphy awarded to Capt. Stanley H. Lowndes of Northport, L. 1., the prize as the most graceful buck and wing dancer. The captain is also tha strongest man, being able to carry a horse and wagon on his expansive shoulders.
The shaking of the earth increased as the members continued to eat. It was 5 o'clock when the chairs and the blocks of wood were placed under them to sit on and it was 6 p. m. when the derrick and the hoisting arrangements were used to remove them from the tables.
