If you know me well, this one is no surprise. One of my ULTIMATE favorite things is the true one and only…Chick-Fil-A. Yes, that’s right…a fast food restaurant. I cannot recall the first time I ever dipped a chicken nugget in the infamous BBQ sauce, or drank their delicious, thick chocolate milkshakes but my guess would be when I was in second grade. Living in Atlanta, GA for the majority of my life thus far, I frequently went to the Chick-Fil-A located on Northside Parkway, which was conveniently located on the same block as my school, and was approximately 7 minutes from my house. It was in high school when I began to visit this particular Chick-Fil-A around three times a week. But it wasn’t until college that it would easily become three times a day. Yes, this is a sad reality, and slightly embarrassing…but it’s the truth. I even have a little friend, Brenda, who continuously asks how school is going and welcomes me with a hug. I have even introduced her to my friends, and she is the sweetest thing and always gives a friendly little hello!
Chick-Fil-A could easily be located in the dictionary under the word “perfect.” I wouldn’t be surprised if one day I was flipping through the Webster’s Dictionary and saw it there. It is the perfect place to have lunch with girlfriends to talk about the night before, or pick it up on a busy day and receive a friendly “my pleasure” after you finish ordering through the drive-thru. Although it’s necessary and the workers must say it…it always surprises me and brings a little smile to my face. It’s truly the little things in life that matter, and Chick-Fil-A continues to incorporate that fact in their business and manners.
I fell in LOVE with Chick-Fil-A during my junior year in high school when my class was required to have an internship for three weeks. With the help from my math teacher, I was set up to work at the headquarters in Atlanta in the Advertising and Marketing department. I had an experience of a lifetime. It was such a treat for me because I was able to eat on the job, and obvs did it! From the endless ice dream machine, to the samples of new recipes being cooked up daily, my love for the food grew. Today, I ALWAYS order the number FIVE, EIGHT pack with a Dr. Pepper. Sauces? Yes please. Three Chick-Fil-A and two BBQ. My mouth is watering as I am typing, but unfortunately it’s a Sunday and Chick-Fil-A’s are ALL closed. I guess there’s always tomorrow?
For all you LOVERS out there, or soon to be ones…there are several Chick-Fil-A’s in the FW area. My personal favorite, with Brenda, is off of Hulen, right next to the Central Market. BUT, rumor has it…there’s a NEW Chick-Fil-A opening right on 7th street! Hello hello hello! You better believe it I’ll be there opening day.
