"chick fil a" news and stories

Chick-fil-A's "spokes-cows" keep urging us to "Eat mor chikin," (ok, so they can't spell), and now there's yet another daily opportunity to do so: in the morning. The new Spicy Chicken Breakfast Biscuit is now available, so you can get your fried-chicken fix with your morning coffee, and with a spicy kick in the taste buds to get your day started. Here's how it rates:

The Claims: The Spicy Chicken Breakfast Biscuit is spicy chicken breast, breaded with spices and deep-fried, placed inside a buttermilk biscuit. (450 calories, 720 in the meal with tater tots)

The Price: $2.25 for the sandwich (in New Jersey); $4.19 for the meal combo.

After the jump, our verdict ...

I mentioned this story briefly in the roundup of this week's NY Times dining section, but didn't elaborate there because it really deserves its own post. Frank Bruni, the food critic known for his love of the finer foods in life, hit the road in a rented Ford Taurus and ate his way through 42 fast food restaurants, mostly in the southern half of the country. His goal was to find out the best fast food chains in the country, "from familiar national chains, relatively unfamiliar regional chains and tiny local chains [he] had never encountered." He stopped in at places like McDonald's, Dairy Queen, Chick-fil-a and Whataburger, eating burgers, fries andother fried foods in pursuit of his goal.
