In the words of my friend's husband: "Find me someone who doesn't like Chick-Fil-A--That person doesn't exist." I concur, Josh. I totally concur. And what's not to love? Yummy salads, sandwiches, free balloons, an indoor play area that is closed off so you don't have to feel like you are eating lunch in a zoo, they refill your drinks, and no crappy kids meal toys (They give books! Books, I say!). I kid you not when I tell you that my typical trip there is never shorter than 1 hour.
But my real love is this:
The spicy chicken sandwich--it's plump and has a spicy kick that makes you say "Ooh! Mama mia!" (kinda like me). And just a couple days ago my love surged to new heights with this:
That's right, Chick-Fil-A sauce!! The little packet is honey roasted b-b-q sauce--which is a topic for anothe time, But here's my beef with this Chick-Fil-A sauce: Every time I go, the friendly cashier asks me if I want any sauce with my order. I always have a moment of panic and promptly say "No, thank you." even though I really want to say "Sure! What do you have to offer?" This place is always super busy and I don't want to be that lady that holds up the line to listen to the list of possible dipping sauces...And once I sit to eat I kick myself for not taking them up on their offer. But, dear Chick-Fil-A, how in the the world am I supposed to know what to ask for?! There is no "sauce menu" anywhere. I have peeked over to other fellow Chick-Fil-A lover's tables and have seen a myriad of sauces. How?! How do they know what this place has to offer? Is it a secret club? Do I have to reach a certain number visits before I am privy to this information? If so, I seriously think I have more than surpassed that number! Who do I see about this? The only reason I discovered this little bit of heaven was because my (real) friend, Leigh Anna let me take one of hers.
It's life-changing. You know how people have these near-death experiences--dark tunnel, bright light and the whole shebang? And when they come back out of it cause it wasn't their time they are changed for the better? They go on to do amazing things with their lives like all Mother Theresa-like? Yeah, that's totally where I'm at. If someone would have come up to me after my first taste of Chick-Fil-A sauce and asked for a kidney or my first-born I'm pretty sure I would've said "Sure! Do you need a lung to go with that?" or "Take her! And I have a 2-year-old I'll throw in for free!" It's just that good.
Problem is, now that I have discovered this little piece of magic, how do I know they're not still holding out on me? What else has Chick-Fil-A been keeping from me? And more importantly, why have they not bottled this sauce?! I'm a girl with a mission now!

Polynesian sauce. Try it next time.
I have had a love affair with Chick-fil-A since I was a kid. I had only ever known food-court Chick-fil-a in multiple malls. Little did I know there were STAND ALONE restaurants with play-places until I moved out here. Crazy.
And in all this time - I had NO IDEA they carried a "chick-fil-a sauce!" I've taken the time to ask them what kind of sauce and got the typical, Polynesian, BBQ, Buffalo, honey mustard and ranch, but ZERO mention of a house sauce. My feelings are truly hurt and I may have to visit our local restaurant to ensure they apologize and give me some of this sauce to try.
Sincerely,
Crying in Nashville
Chick-fil-A is amazing. I had never been to the stand alone joints until we lived in Texas. It was the only place I would ever go alone with my twins. As soon as I walked in someone who get two highchairs, bring my meal to the table after I ordered and refilled my drinks.
Shakes...fabulous.
Another plug for the Polynesian sauce, amazing on the fries.
To Jojomynx: the Chick-fil-a sauce is new. They just started it a few months ago.
Go to Chick-fil-A in Utah- they give you fry sauce. It is a Utah thing for sure, but nothing tastes better with fry sauce than Chick-fil-A.
Did you know our Chick-fil-A here does a family night? On Tuesday nights they give you TWO free kids meals with every adult meal purchased. One time (before I knew) I went in and I was just going to order my kids some food (because we are poor ha) and they were like "No, order your own meal and get these free! We do it every Tuesday!" "Thank you," I said. "My Pleasure," they said. Love it! (Call first to make sure before you go, just in case... you never know when they go changing rules.)
Oh, my other favorite thing about Chick-fil-A... sometimes they play LDS music on the radio. I've been there for lunch, listening to "Come Thou Fount".
I'm hungry.
Since they don't have Chick-Fil-A here in my hood, I literally walked past the one in the Provo mall for about six months muttering "Chick-fil-ah, Chick-fil-aww, Chick-fil-what the hell is that place?"
Finally the fat girl in me took over and I wandered in, unknowing the bliss that awaited me, and found out what it was all about.
My life has been changed ever since.
Amen.
WoW! that looks great. nice post.
