Chick-Fil-A
It is no surprise that obesity is rapidly taking over our beautiful country by the thousands. The possibility of this number dropping is very unlikely. America is known for being the land of the free, and home to the heaviest living population. But with so many people in a rush on a regular basis, fast food plays a huge role in an average lifestyle. One out of four individuals consume fast food on a daily basis. A majority of these fast food joints carry chicken sandwiches. They have been a staple menu item for years. Without a doubt, Chick-Fil-A has the most delicious fried chicken sandwich ever produced.
On a scale 1-10 this sandwich receives a 20. Chick-Fil-A has mastered the art building the perfect chicken sandwich; it tastes the same every time. For the most part everybody enjoys eating. It keeps us alive, and brings us immediate gratification 99% of the time. People eat for pleasure; it’s the honest truth. Consistency should come to mind when rating a food item. People want the same mouthwatering goodness each time they visit a restaurant. Between the quality, temperature, and taste, this masterpiece is definitely one that will go down in history. Being able to create a favorite sandwich that a thousand other people have already attempted to perfect is truly amazing. When breaking down the common components to a perfect chicken sandwich, the quality of the meat should be at the top of the list. I want to start by mentioning Chick-Fil-A uses all-natural
Zaxby’s offers strips, in many different count sizes, as their one style of regular crispy chicken; they also serve four flavors of boneless and traditional wings, accompanied with celery and blue cheese dip. All of Chick-Fil-A’s chicken is boneless, and they offer a variety of styles including four, six, eight, and twelve pack nuggets, three and four count strips, and six different chicken sandwiches. Zaxby’s brings unique “Zalads” to the plate, topped with fried or grilled chicken while Chick-Fil-A has branched out to offer a full breakfast menu.

Chicken! Chicken! Chicken! Southerners are crazy about it! Chicken is an iconic meal, from grandma 's kitchen to fast food restaurants. Sometimes grandma 's home cooked chicken is not always readily available, so what is the next best option? This is my review of two very popular fast food chains, the main item on each menu is none other than chicken. These two restaurants go by the name Chick-fil-A and Zaxby 's. Chick-fil-A has a bit of an interesting story, with the franchise being very comfortable with the Christian faith. Because of this, all locations are closed on Sundays and holidays. Information from their website shows that Chick-fil-A cares for its community and is involved in several fundraisers for churches and schools. Zaxby 's observes normal hours and does not really take part in community events. I visited the Chick-fil-A over on Harris Lane in Bessemer, Alabama at around noon. This Chick-fil-A just opened a few years back and has been very popular since. On a different occasion, I visited the Zaxby 's just a few miles down the road from Chick-fil- A, located on Academy Drive. The website describes Zaxby 's as a “chain eatery serving up fried chicken fingers, wings, sandwiches, and other American comfort eats”. These two competitors offer very similar menu options, but completely different environments. Although Chick-fil-A has better customer service, Zaxby 's has tastier food and an overall better ambiance.
That product was the pressure cooked chicken breast sandwich. Cathy always wanted to add chicken to his menu at the Dwarf Grill but knew that cooking chicken the traditional way would take too long for his customer’s needs. Cathy often thought about his mother’s way of cooking chicken and remembered she but chicken in a pan and covered the top to apply some type of pressure. He noticed that this method of cooking chicken was faster and still kept the chicken moist and tender. Cathy knew that this is what he wanted but he knew it would take a lot of trial and error and a lot of experimenting. From putting the chicken on a buttered up bun instead of putting the meat on a plate by itself to 20 different ingredients and four years of experimentations and taste testing, the customers finally said “We like it. Don’t change it again.” Cathy was finally getting

Around 160,000 fast food franchises have been opened all over America. America is the most obese country in this world. Healthy food is supplement rich, yet fast food has a tendency to be poor in nutrients and high in calories. Know that fast food can satisfy our day by day calories requirements; not only it gives us calories, but it also harms our health with other ingredients. For instance, fast food is high in soaked fats and trans fats. In addition, it has additives, chemicals, and artificial flavors.

My favorite restaurant to eat at is Chick-Fil-A. I like Chick-Fli-A because the food is good, the wait is not long, and the employees are always nice. I have always enjoyed eating at Chick-Fli-A.

Larissa Gedney wrote that fast food is often perceived as a completely unhealthy food choice, but lately fast food companies have upped their games in the health business. Just because they’ve gotten healthier it doesn’t mean that you should eat it four to five times a week. Some restaurants are better than others, for example McDonald's Bacon Clubhouse Crispy Chicken Sandwich is 750 calories, while Chick Fil A’s Chicken Sandwich is only 440! Caesar Barber could eat an elephant and gain less weight than eating at McDonald's.
Which came first: the chicken sandwich or the egg sandwich? The world may never know. However, the world does know the chicken sandwich easily trumps an embryonic hoagie. The hard working Samuel Truett Cathy rose from the ashes of the Great Depression and established his own ideas of modern chicken consumption.

Four tables and ten stools later, Cathy desired an expansion and to revolutionize the world of accelerated dining.

Chick-fil-A shows its dedication to TQM by implementing quality beyond the food. The environment Chick-fil-A provides is family friendly as shown by Chick-fil-A’s providing crayons and Cheerios for free to its customers. This allows families to feed even the youngest of children and entertain children of all ages. Children can be entertained in the playground area and by coloring at the table so parents can relax and enjoy a meal.
