Chick-Fil-A is massively overrated. 

It's exclusively an eastern Indiana/western Ohio thing, but Lee's Chicken is fantastic.

At first, I thought he was referring to CFA, which we of course have here.

I've heard good things. Nearest one to us is in Ocala. Not convenient at all, honestly. 3+ hours.

I certainly wouldn't drive out of my way for a CFA.  I wouldn't call them massively over rated.  I think their sandwiches are fine, their service is excellent, on a completely different level from any fast food place I've tried.  When traveling, it would be my first pick.

We have one here a couple blocks away and I have not dined there in ages.

That's a bizarre map. How the heck did they end up in BC? 

It reminds me of a cajun restaurant that existed in Lafayette when I was a freshman at Purdue. It was superb. And the reason it was superb was that it really was authentic. Turns out there were only two locations--New Orleans and Lafayette. They opened the Lafayette location when the owner's kid went to Purdue, IIRC.

It's a good sandwich. I like the waffle fries. Nothing mind-blowing, but it's good. 

When the first CFA in California opened, it was in Irvine and I lived right around the corner at the time. It did draw QUITE the crowd. 

One thing I'll say is that CFA is very annoying to the CA locals with this "not open Sundays" stuff. What is this, 1874? Nobody here is closed on Sunday!

They are privately owned of course and the owning family thinks workers should be home with their families on Sunday, or at a Braves game.

Yeah, it's their business and their right to run it how they see fit. That policy just sticks out in a place like California.

I was showing one of my wife's old friends around where we live, walking, and we happened by the Chick-Fil-A and he went into a tirade about them.  It was not unexpected, I knew this guy goes all out to be "woke".  (He's the one who told me in 2020 that Trump was going to kick all the Jews out of the US.  He's nominally Jewish.  I asked if that would include his daughter.  He didn't understand my point.)

I just let him go on about it, I now how he is, it would drive me crazt except I don't care.  But according to him, CFA doesn't serve gays OR black folks, they won't let black folks in the restaurant, and he would NEVER go there.  Now, OK, if you don't like a place, fine, just say "Hey, I don't eat there because of X."  But he went on for another three blocks as we walked back.  To me, it's signaling, not really a something.

I didn't even comment on the "don't serve blacks" quip, I could have pointed inside that CFA, but I didn't.  Heck, there were black folks eating outside with CFA bags in front of them.  Fortunately for me, this dude lives in Cincy.

Sounds like an asshole. I'd kick him to the curb.

Hobby Lobby is closed on Sundays.

I know, but their chicken sucks, so I don't let it bother me.

My wife has a long history with him and his wife (who is recently deceased).  And we rarely see him, my wife knows I really can't stand him.  Well, that's not quite true, once I understood who he was, I just mosty ignore whatever he says.  water, duck, etc.
