vast, red meat conspiracy - "you can't handle the truth!"

The response I received from the people at Chick-fil-A:

"The steak biscuit is an item that was previously sold at all Chick-fil-A Units, but has since been removed from the menu. Chick-fil-A's Dwarf House restaurants, which are located in and around the Atlanta metro area, continue to sell the steak biscuit. Since the Dwarf House restaurants use the same packaging as do our Chick-fil-A Units, we have not yet changed the packaging to remove the words "Steak Biscuit".

Hmmmm... so, they used to sell steak biscuits? The place that's known for their "don't eat us cowz cuz we're so cute and cant spell" marketing campaign used to sell steak biscuits? Not a good "moooove" there. And they have a restaurant chain called "Dwarf House"?? I can't believe in this day and age of PC speech that they would use the term "dwarf" instead of "vertically challenged", for starters.

I am still suspicious. They are trying to buy me with some coupons. I assure you that my silence cannot be bought - but I will be doing more research. Next, I plan to investigate why their tasty "waffle" fries are not sold with maple syrup.

I personally like them with their polynesian sauce for nuggets, of course I like that on my chikfila as well.

I am undecided on chikfila, they give away bibles as happy meal toys, which reeks of religiousness as well as being a really shitty happy meal toy.

Chick-Fil-A was founded by S. Truett Cathy. I've always thought he must have a really crappy first name if he prefers to go by "Truett".

Apparently, I thought wrong. It's just "Samuel".

And they're closed on Sundays, um, religiously. This used to seriously tweak the management in the Santa Monica Promenade out here in California, who started writing "open 7 days a week" clauses into their leases from the very point they realized Chick-Fil-A was... different.

Wow, I wish they'd do that here - I'd go every Sunday. Alas, we are firmly planted in the Bible Belt.

No such luck. Chick-Fil-A moved out of the #2 spot in the Promenade's food court because they would not renew the lease with the open-7-days clause therein, and got to feel smug about not compromising their Principles in favor of Vulgar Making-Money-Hand-Over-Fist. The Promenade is one of the busiest spots in southern California on the weekends, which is saying a lot.

Well, phooey! Godfrey says they should hire Jewish people to work their on Sundays - seems reasonalbe to me, since devout Jewish people hire non-Jews to do things around the house for them on their holy day. And I could really go for one of their chicken sandwiches on Sundays, darn it!

"Vertically challenged."

Interesting phrase. It always makes me think of a ladder with vertical rungs instead of horizontal. Now, *that's* vertically challenging.
